PRIORITY Q&A

Chris A.

Do the Zeti exists in pre reboot Archie sonic? Do the swat bots exist in idw Sonic along with the roboticizer?

Andrew D.

Between what issues/event does the Bad Guys mini series take place?

Ink Pants

Ian, my favorite son. Can you tell us how your involvement in the new Sonic Encyclopedia came about and any cool anecdotes about your work on it? It must have been a really exciting prospect to work on something so aligned with the games. Did you ever picture yourself getting this kind of opportunity back on your humble beginning at Archie?

AWF

How much input does a writer have over the art of a comic, like the line work and colors? If I'm not mistaken, Evan has done some of her own line work for the issues she's written (more power to her, her art is amazing), but if an issue looks good in terms of colors and shading, so on, how much of that is credible to the writer?

Papadripopolous

Is there something to the sudden Sonic X mentions? Did you just happen to rewatch it recently and went "hmm I wanna use this stuff"? also, as seen in the new york comic con stream, you got a decently nice beard going, time to update those profile pictures and so on to reflect that

Soni

Can I just take this moment to say thank you Ian, truly! As someone who truly believed that the Zeti has a place in the world of Sonic despite many people saying otherwise, I am so happy with how you wrote him in the first issue of Bad Guys! I would gladly pay poutine for you! Speaking of, have you tried poutine?

N’Oni

To Ian: How old is Chaos mentally/emotionally? If you don't know the concrete answer, do you have a headcanon for his age? Did Sega ever even have notes on that?

Kyle: Seeing how we're in the spooky month, why not ask about something that's truly terrifying. Are there any video games you will never give another chance no matter what, due to their content? This includes File Eating bugs, and glitches that could corrupt the entire save.

Ian: I've been really enjoying how you have approached the Deadly Six in the IDW series so far compared to how they were in their introduction in Sonic Lost World, especially Zavok. I do think that Zavok has potential to be a better villain than how the games portray him as, and after Bad Guys Issue 1, I'm really excited to see how he and Dr. Starline will clash. My question is,
