PRIORITY Q&A

Scruffymatt

Imagine that one night Iiuzaka-San kicks down your door, grabs you by the shirt, and says, "Ian my child, we're making a fighting game starring only SEGA characters. It's like Super Smash Brothers, except it's totally not Super Smash Brothers. Also, I want you to decide on the character roster. Ask your friend Kyle to colllaborate with you on this." And then he drops a smoke bomb and vanishes into the night.

So, which SEGA characters will be duking it out on the fields of honour, and who will fail to make the cut?

Renard

I was rereading Mega Man #53 recently and came to the grim realization that at some point before Mega Man 7, every Robot Master from Mega Man 1 would likely be decommissioned. This made me wonder...just when and how were you going to play this out? How would it affect Rock and company, do the Robot Masters just accept this without question, and how was it going to hit Rock when he witnessed Wily making off with Guts Man's deactivated body, fighting it as Guts Man G, and then probably destroying one of his longest lasting family members for good?

I truly adore the way you handled the existentialism in the Mega Man comic, I feel you perfectly managed to make the series a little bit more than "blue robot kid fights old man, old man apologizes, repeat" without making it feel like it forced in any way.

Diane W.

On a previous BumbleKast, you stated that Knuckles wouldn’t be allowed to use his Archie exclusive powers and abilities in IDW because… well, it’s his Archie counterpart’s abilities. Can he still use his other abilities such as Massive Heat Knuckles Attack, and Thunder Arrow, and his Level Up items like his Shovel Claw, and his Hammer Gloves, in IDW?

ScurvyPiratehog (KoFi)

This year not only marks Sonic’s 30th but also the 30th anniversary of Dr Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik! Could you maybe just gush about him a little? How he’s evolved how He’s the best Sonic villain, the perfect arch-enemy for Sonic, and...just celebrate The mad genius we love to hate!

Speed Weed

So, now I got something to ask about Mega Man, given a question that was asked a while back about the connection between Ra Moon and the Star Droids:

Maybe Kyle stretched the definition of "punk" a bit, but maybe you'll like this episode anyway!

PRIORITY Q&A

N'Oni

What would it be like working for Dr. Starline? Are there any dangers one should be aware of working for him? How quickly is the door locked behind you?

Diane W.

How would’ve Sticks handled the Black Arms invasion, the Shattered World Crisis, and the War to Take Back the Planet, but not all at once?

Jib

You’ve gotten so many “disappointment” questions about Shadow it’s a bit of a bummer. So I was curious to hear what you like about Shadow, and if there’s anything with his current portrayal that you do enjoy writing with, or witnessing being written with him. Maybe any moments in IDW too with him with that you enjoyed?

Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi)

Aside from Sonic, Eggman's other two most prominent enemies in comic history seems to be Zavok and Naugus. How do you think those two would get along? Would they like each other? hate each other? And who would win in a fight?

Scruffymatt

In the old SatAM cartoon, Robotnik had a habit of calling Sonic a "miserable rodent." This struck me as a bit odd, as Sonic is an incredibly upbeat character. Sure, he had his moments of sadness from time to time, but the only character in that show I would say was miserable was Snively (and possibly Antoine). So what's the deal? I mean... did Robotnik not know what that word means?

Jeff G (KoFi)

I'm a long time Sonic comic collector. I stopped when the Archie series went away, but I'm getting back into comics again thanks to your show! Question: How do you show off all these excellent books? It kills me to keep them in a longbox...

AWF

Breezie. Archie comics. Robot or not?

Andrew D.

You’ve spoken on multiple occasions about how SEGA would disagree on something that clearly was plausible such as the Master Emerald effecting the Chaos Emeralds. In those instances, have you ever attempted to call them out on their mistake by providing examples and asking what exactly was happening at that moment instead? I understand not wanting to bite the hand that feeds and that it is SEGA’s property, but I wonder at times if they just need a reminder is all. Unless they’re aiming for a retcon. Personally, if I was in charge of a property and you pointed out something like that, I don’t think I could just ignore it, but that’s just me I guess. Perhaps the difference is I’d care about my property’s consistency when they don’t? Or am I missing something? I’d like to think SEGA cares about their property enough to stay consistent.

Aside from Sonic, Eggman's other two most prominent enemies in comic history seems to be Zavok and Naugus. How do you think those two would get along? Would they like each other? hate each other? And who would win in a fight?

In the old SatAM cartoon, Robotnik had a habit of calling Sonic a "miserable rodent." This struck me as a bit odd, as Sonic is an incredibly upbeat character. Sure, he had his moments of sadness from time to time, but the only character in that show I would say was miserable was Snively (and possibly Antoine). So what's the deal? I mean... did Robotnik not know what that word means?

I'm a long time Sonic comic collector. I stopped when the Archie series went away, but I'm getting back into comics again thanks to your show! Question: How do you show off all these excellent books? It kills me to keep them in a longbox...

Breezie. Archie comics. Robot or not?

You’ve spoken on multiple occasions about how SEGA would disagree on something that clearly was plausible such as the Master Emerald effecting the Chaos Emeralds. In those instances, have you ever attempted to call them out on their mistake by providing examples and asking what exactly was happening at that moment instead? I understand not wanting to bite the hand that feeds and that it is SEGA’s property, but I wonder at times if they just need a reminder is all. Unless they’re aiming for a retcon. Personally,

Kyle keeps it light this week with some recent releases that fit the bill quite well for relaxation. Let's chill!
