PRIORITY Q&A

Pan Dulce (KoFi)

Hi Ian! Some fans and I noticed that Eggman was acting different during the Metal Virus arc, being more careless than usual. Was this because he was still affected by his amnesia episode, a plot device to make Starline disappointed or just the direction that SEGA wanted with him?

Can you think of a quote from any Sonic media - be it games, comics, tv shows, movies, or hell, even those weird choose your own adventure books! - that is a fitting description of you?

(If either of you choose, "SnooPING AS usual?!" that's nooo good. :P)

The Sonic and Mario video game universes have swapped. Sonic is now a portly plumber saving Princess Rose from the tyrannical King Eggman. Mario is now the fastest thing alive stopping Dr. Bowser from conquering the world. What other changes exist, and who is who? Side note: I can’t imagine King Eggman would have any interest in marrying Princess Rose, unless all their ages swapped, too. Bonus: Now you have access to alternate media. Is Princess Rose now Princess Acorn? Is Bivalve the new Calamity Clam? You guys decide!

I understand a certain level of professional unbiased-ness is required, but what's your personal thoughts on fan groups that advocate for the return of old characters, like Rally4Sally, SaveCosmo, and JoinGun? Do you think groups like that are wasting their time and energy, or do you think it's still good for fans to have groups like that where they can come together and show their support?

looking back at archie and you know what I miss from Archie? Backup stories. I know you don't have any power over this, but does David M listen to the bumblekast? I'd bet IDW could benefit from having backup stories from time to time. Not every 4-issue arc needs a full 80 pages, some of them could do with only 60. You could even have backup stories from guest writers and such. Then again I don't think IDW books in general usually do backup stories. The only ones I can think of are TMNT Universe and Star Wars Adventures. Closest thing we get otherwise are Annuals (and 30th anniversary special). But still, Ya hear me David?
