PRIORITY Q&A

Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi)

When they had the license, Archie Comics published comics based on the Sonic TV Shows, like Sonic X and Sonic Boom. And considering that IDW has published comics based on the different TMNT shows...what are the chances we could possibly see a "Sonic Prime" Comic series from IDW?

PC-The-Unicorn

Ian, are you always surprised when a Sonic ship either gets a spike in popularity or becomes popular due to how you write the two interacting, or have you gotten to a point to expect it? I recall you mentioning being surprised by how popular Tangle x Whisper got, but were you also surprised by similar instances such as Knuxamy due to the Shattered Arc, Tails x Honey from the Champions arc, and Shadaze due to Sonic Universe #1 and the Treasure Team Tango arc?

TheHoboJoe!!!

Ian, you said that Jeff Smith's Bone was a big inspiration/reference for you. Bone is genuinely one of if not my favorite published works and I'd love to hear you two just talk about it. Do you have any experience with it Kyle? Do you have a favorite volume? (Great Cow Race is Near perfect in my eyes). As beloved as it is, I don't hear a ton of talk about Bone and I'd like to hear your perspective (And what are your thoughts on quiche?)

Diane W.

Would Shadow listen to modern rock...?

You [have[ the ability to turn any one video game franchise of your choosing into a comic, movie, or television series. Which game do you choose?

SonAmy Channel (KoFi)

Why is it that Amy can't do spin dashes like Cream & the others?

Digamma

What's it like being assistant editor on Tales of Aether?

Andrew D.

Let’s pretend you were given the ok to write a crossover between IDW Sonic and Archie Sonic. How would you handle this?

Speed Weed

How much of a horror story would you get out of the SA-X being thrown into Sonic's world, given what the SA-X represents in Metroid: Fusion?

Why do some people (including ourselfs) care very deeply to have their innermost (or profoundly public) ideas about the blue blur... put out for mass media consumption?
