PRIORITY Q&A

The Shadow Emperor (KoFi)

Let's say you were adapting Shadow's game for IDW. Would you have Sonic and friends be morally conflicted about killing the Black Arms? Obviously in the game they don't seem at all bothered by slaughtering aliens en masse, but do you think that's consistent with their characters?

AwesomeCakester

What character did you dislike, or even flat out hate in any media that at some point, whether it be through a different interpretation or just a reworking from the source material, you changed your opinion on to be an alright character or even becoming your favorite?

Scurvy Piratehog (Kofi)

After taking a look at the solicitations for the upcoming issue 45 of IDW sonic, it made me wonder...the overall premise ( and the apparent absent of Sonic) makes it seem more fitting for a mini-series or a Sonic Universe like book... so.. overall my question is this. Do you think the IDW sonic series could benefit from having it’s own Sonic universe style book? With how well the comic is doing and how many people love it, I’d assume there is a market there for it, but what do you think?

DianeLionheart

While were still on the subject of the Deadly Six, which of Sonic’s friends would have their own rivalry with each of the DS?

Speed Weed

So now that Metroid Dread has risen back from the 20 year cryostasis that was its rumored development hell, what are your hopes and expectations from it? What did you like out of the reveal trailer? Anything that kinda rubs you the wrong way? Most importantly, what do you think of the EMMI robots?

Scruffymatt

I apologise if this one's been asked before - it feels like the kind of question Ian's probably answered, but I didn't see it on the Q & A master list. We all know there was some really shoddy work done on the ArchieSonic comics prior to Ian taking the writing reigns in issue #160 - let's not dwell on that stuff. But there was some really fantastic work done in the book before Ian too. So my question for you both today is: what are some of your favourite issues, story arcs or moments from ArchieSonic, pre-Birthday Bash?
