PRIORITY Q&A

Chris A.

Is there any chance that the Archie Sonic characters might show up in idw sonic?

AfroLuffyX

In a alternative universe how would you re-write the endgame arc in Pre-reboot Archie Sonic

Sony N.

I'm currently making my own comics and finally finished issue one's pencils. I'm mostly an artist but I write my own stories. When I write my scripts I tend to do a paragraph a page. Or a paragraph = one page. How do you do it? Do you do it panel by panel, page by page? I know it'll be different since you're writing to the artist.. but what tips do you have for when the writer is the artist. Basically I'm a one man show trying to make it and making progress.. but slow progress.

GLITCHIEST

With the metal virus and zombotification, when someone's effectively zombotified do they retain any level of awareness (such as how satAM handled roboticization as kind of 'I have no mouth and I must scream' situation), or is it more like they're basically brain-dead and unaware until cured?

GLITCHIEST

If Sonic had been fully zombot-ified, how would he behave? Would he basically be another addition to the slow-moving, shambling masses of zombots, would he be a high-risk super-speed kinda' zombot or would he retain his sense of self like he did during the werehog transformation?

Hero of Light 13

Isn't it reasonable to assume that [Sonic] still has a house of his own that he occasionally scurries back to between adventures?

Hero of Light 13

My question is can't Sonic CD fit comfortably between Sonic 2 and 3?

AWF

What does Whisper keep in those little pods under her jacket? Are they some kind of explosives, or do they contain her Wisps? If the later, does that mean Wisps can be caught like pokemon?

Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi)

How would you re-imagine the Sonic cast as pirates? feel free to include IDW Characters.

DianeLionheart

Which is your favourite eeveelution and why?

Scruffymatt

How many geese does it take to change a lightbulb?

SonAmy Channel

Why are some people trying to prove that the so-called SEGA mandates exist when it was stated that they don't?

SonAmy Channel

Will Amy ever get to summon & use her bigger hammer that's game canon in IDW Sonic?

Dove

Hey guys. If you had to put the Ghostbusters into the Sonic world, which species would each one be?

Papadripopolous

Has [panel size & pacing] ever been something you considered...? Kyle & Ian - I assume you've already watched Godz...

What is an episode of NGI without technical difficulties? Why, I'd say that's barely even an episode of NGI at all! This time, Kyle sits down with VGM pianist Rob "88bit" Kovacs to talk arranging game music for piano, their mutual love for retro games (particularly Marble Madness,) and more!

As folks go, I'm different.

0:16 - I talk about a new show I watched but don't say which one. Frustrating, no?

7:42 - Monster Hunter Rise is a bit of a slog in High Rank because there's little that's new

40:01 - Hoopla is kind of a library streaming service but sadly, my library isn't part of the program so I can't use it

46:05 - Let's talk about all the beloved anime that I just don't care for!

If you missed Saturday’s live broadcast of Molehill Mountain, you can watch the video replay on YouTube.  Alternatively, you can catch audio versions of the show on iTunes. Molehill Mountain streams live at 7p PST every Saturday night on RandomTower!

8:06 PMaddictedtochaos​it was consistently in the top 5 of cartoon network's shows,

For Ian (Kyle can answer, too. I like when Kyle gives his thoughts): How does someone get into writing comics books as a profession? How did you decide that you wanted to use your skills as a writer to earn a living? I know a lot of folks out there who are interested in getting into comics to do the visual aspect, pencils, inking, coloring, etc, but not quite as many folks seem interested in the writing aspect. For you, was it more of a formal process, submitting applications/auditions, going thru the ol' interview process, or was is it more of a "you have to know someone on the inside" kind of deal? Just curious how all that works. No particular reason why.

I was catching up on old bumblekasts from the span of time I fell behind on them and nearly a year ago you said

There's something that we're working on for 2020 in IDW Sonic where a core component was received well but was deemed inappropriate for the franchise, and I don't mean that in an adult way, I mean that it was "out of theme". (...) So I had to reconfigure things and it lead to some interesting new directions for one of the characters involved

Since we're in 2021 now, is it safe for you to go into more detail about this?

How did Buns contract NIDS? Was it her affair with Scourge that caused this to happen, or do you think it’s too much to address given that this is an All-Ages comic?

Hey guys, sorry to bother you at work. I'm curious, we've seen the Master Emerald shattered a few times. I assume that means the Chaos Emeralds can be similarly broken. My question is this. Can the Chaos Emeralds be destroyed completely? What would happen if they were?

The Sonic fandom LOVES to talk about the Sonic Ships. Some likes this ship, hates that ship, shipping, ship, shipping. So what's your favorite Sonic Ship? ...my personal favorites includes the Egg Carrier.

Does the split between Classic and Modern Sonic separate just the video game cast, or does it affect characters made for other media too?
