PRIORITY Q&A

Olgilvie Maurice

Hey is it possible for you guys to say, "We want to give a shoutout to Ogilvie the Blue the one and only true Sonic Imposter" ? That would be awesome man!

Digamma

Let's take a question I've asked you in the past and ƎϨЯƎVƎЯ it: Would there be any sonic characters (games, archie, idw, etc) that would be like "if they were in Drogune they'd be Orkune"? Obviously this whole excercise is for fun, not to be taken the most seriously, but I do find it a neat thought experiment.

Diane W.

Since you’re never going to release Lost Hedgehog Tales due to outside forces and instead being using for ideas for the IDW book, I may as well ask[...]

Scruffymatt

Alright fellas, since you agreed on my last "who would win" question so easily, let's try another: Bane vs Mr. Freeze. Who wins?

AWF

What process do you use for thinking ahead when it comes to writing, when youret taking turns writing with someone else? With you and Evan both working on your own arcs for the main comic now, do y'all have to pass ideas back and forth, to make sure neither of you "accidentally" plot-block the other by writing a situation that would interfere with something the other planned on writing?

Over at Sonic Legacy (haha plug), we have several writers working on multiple issues at any given time, so there's always the "issue" of making sure everyone's on the same page. Do you and Evan (and anyone else you've ever written with) ever had to just sit down and be like "ok, this is what I want to do, this is what you want to do, how do we make this work?"

Ideria

Do you Ian, as a comic writer (whether it be Sonic IDW, Sonic Archie or Drogune) get to take part when it comes to translating a comic from english to another language?

Andrew D.

Where can I read all of Drogune so far in its intended reading order?

Scurvy Piratehog

Who would win in a fight between Espio the chameleon....and the Shredder?

N'Oni

Is there any Tailoring Commission that Honey the Cat wouldn't take?

Papadripopolous

So, Ian,

So, Ian, seems you've altered the BKC site to finally mention the Dark Horse ARMS comic as a cancelled project. Did something change, you got some confirmation the project's dead, something like that? Does this mean you can talk some more about the project, or are you still just overall NDA'd into tomb-like silence?

Hey guys, wasn't that last question awesome? Anyway, Ian: Bucky O'Hare SWAT Kats Gargoyles If you could choose to write an at least 24 issue comic on any of these franchises, which would you choose? Which would you be most excited for?

Hello! I absolutely loved the Metal Virus saga and Cream's portrayal especially. I felt it demonstrated a side of Cream we hadn't seen before. Do you currently have any plans for Cream the Rabbit in the next IDW arc? She is my favorite character, thanks!

Scurvy Piratehog

...The Metal Virus Saga ends the way it began....Was this intentional? If so, that’s kinda brilliant!

Digamma

was volume 1 of Cosmo originally going to be a full blown ongoing that got caught up in Archie transitioning to having it's non-Archie (the character) books into miniseries?...I guess you could extend this question to the Mighty Crusaders book from around the same time

Jib

I was curious, in the forces comic and the game, we never got to see how Shadow took down Infinite's squad as well as his reason.Were you ever planning to include that in the comic? And if not, how do you imagine it happened.

Most Webtoons comics are formatted vertically for mobile... I was curious if [formatting Dorgune differently] was something that had crossed your minds.

Do you still think there should be a Sonic game, with Smith voicing Sonic, where he’s put into a situation where the metaphorical anvil gets dropped on how he’s characterized in the 2010s era, how he treats his friends, or how he tells his jokes, very poorly, or even the other characters and how they’ve acted since the 2010s such as Tails, or Shadow?

Let's rewind back to the first episode of Sonic X. If you could put Sonic & co in any city in fiction at all as a result of chaos control gone wonky, which city would you pick?

AWF

Having worked on the Transformers x MLP crossover, I have to ask, who's your favorite Transformer? Also, bonus question for both you and Kyle, if you were a Transformer, what would your alternate mode be?

What do you guys think are some of the best video games trilogies that are out there?

STANDARD Q&A

Tik Tik

Does Sonic canonically see the world through a cartoony lens? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY_H4d68IUc that last couple lines from this progressive commercial just seems like a bit of a tidbit that SEGA believes to be true but doesn't tell the fans
