PRIORITY Q&A

StarMech (Ko-Fi)

I am a bit curious in regard to Eggmans badniks in the IDW comic: Like do all run on small animals? Even the ones that used not to like Egg Pawns and the other bots from Sonic Heroes? Which games are you not allowed to take badniks from? Either way keep up the good work!

shdowhunt60 (Ko-Fi)

With issue #29, discourse around a certain character has flared up. While I think it was a bit of an overreaction given the context, it feels like Tails as a character has gotten very little respect recently. What are your thoughts on his role in the franchise?

What's the population of New Mobotropolis? Don't need to get too specific, a rounded up number will do just fine.

Ink Pants

So, just how much NSFW Sonic literature have YOU written, Ian? Don't worry, we're all friends here. It'll just be between you, me, and the internet. P.S: I am so sorry, Kyle forced me to ask you this, I'm just the messenger.

Ian, how familiar are you with the Ratchet & Clank series? I'm asking this cause it's my favorite video game series and franchise overall next to Sonic, and I think you would be an amazing writer for it especially with it's over the top humor and action if the series went back into comics. IF you know about the series, how would you make it into a comic story wise, or would you just adapt the games into a comic?

Diane W.

Hey Ian, if the name of Sally’s brother were to be changed so that it’s not an anagram of her name, should his name be “Elijah” or “Timothy”, or do you have another name in mind?

Chris A.

3 years ago ian you said that idw bring back and completing older runs of fan favorite comics like pre reboot and post reboot Archie Sonic could it do the same with sonic the comic?

Scruffymatt

In the wake of the metal virus saga, I was wondering what each of your favourite zombie games and/or movies are?

Andrew D.

How did you two meet, and how did the idea for the podcast come about and get executed?
