PRIORITY Q&A

Speed Weed

Given the recent discussion of a Worlds Collide scenario between Mario and Sonic, how would you feel about a Metroid-Sonic crossover?

Diane W

Sally Acorn and Amy Rose are the perfect BFFs. Do you agree or disagree?

Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi)

So, I'm curious...how different are Pre-reboot and post-reboot Snively from each other? Personality wise, opinions on Eggman, ETC ETC ETC ETC.

Digamma

What are the production lead times for various states of production (writing, art, colors, letters, 100% finish) for Tales of Aether compared to your average industry comic?

King Toasty (KoFi)

If you could both choose a single villain to join (or rejoin) the games as a reoccurring character, who would it be?

RedScarfUK

Ian and Kyle, what do you think were the highlights (and lowlights) of the first Sonic Central presentation?

N'Oni

Why didn't Eggman just ask one of the roboticized knothole residents where Knothole was?

Andrew D.

How do you decide how/when to kill off a character?

AfroLuffyX

As far as I remember you said that scourge is a coward at heart and he wants justification for his actions can you elaborate on the idea of scourges character

TK

Were there ever any plans to pair Tails up with someone who likes him back after Fiona? Or was love just never in the cards for foxboy?

BlueTidalGamer

To both of you. If you could only take one book with you on a deserted island, what genre of book would it be to help you cope with being deserted?

Scruffymatt

So Ian, when is the Sonic commercial starring you going to be released? Is it today? It's gonna be today, right? :D

AWF

For Ian and Kyle: How have y'all been lately? No one ever seems to ask.

STANDARD Q&A

Tik Tik

What exactly does the Master Emerald do?

Dove

What would you say is the reason [Mega Man didnt hold on to abilities]? Also, with his advanced systems, why wouldn't X be able to keep them?

PC-The-Unicorn

Ian, exactly how much free will does Metal Sonic have in the IDW Continuity?
