PRIORITY Q&A

PC-The-Unicorn

Said question being, what went into writing Sonic character for the IDW series?

Johnny_B_Goode

What was the secret, if any, to [Jun Kun's] incredible strength and toughness?

AWF

What is Starlines favorite consumable item? And while we're on the subject of food, do Zeti eat?

Blue Mickey Mouse

If you could freely write different Sonic properties together how would the universes be recognized in name/identity by the others?

Scruffymatt

IWhich multiplayer modes from previous Sonic games have been your favourites, and how would you like to see multiplayer brought back in a future Sonic title, if at all?

Diane W.

How do you feel about Netflix’s Fate: The Winx Saga?

Andrew D.

If you were each to design your own Pokémon, what would it be, and what would its typing be?

Digamma F Wau

so obviously you've talked multiple times at this point about how the Iron Dominion saga featuring Monkey Kahn was a joke idea to make your other pitches seem better that Pellerito ended up choosing anyways. Now back in the old Mike Gallagher Off-Panels, it was a running gag that Pellerito had an obsession with monkeys and apes. I wonder...

Madeline M (Ko-Fi)

Ian, is how Sonic and Tails first met in the IDW continuity the same as mainline? Amy mentioned in #10 how Tails was raised by Sonic. Did Sonic find Tails going hungry as a baby or toddler, or did Tails fix up Sonic’s plane? Can you describe the story of Sonic raising Tails?

Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi)

One...thing I have seen going around at times that annoys me a little is when people claim that Eggman/Robotnik is a complete idiot, and not a real threat. I mean, in IDW and Forces, he DID manage to take over the world, he has created huge facilities, robot armies, deadly inventions, and he has shown multiple times that he actually is a genius, and had really evil moments. I personally think that the main thing about the character is that his main weaknesses are his own overconfidence in his plans, and his own obsession with Sonic.

But what do you think? How would you sorta "explain" Eggman?

PRIORITY Q&A

Bradley T.

Hi! My son, Sandy, is working on a Sonic Christmas play, and wants to know if you have any ideas for dialogue and drama? The plot idea is that Eggman is trying to destroy Santa so that Christmas will not come, causing chaos that will make it easier for him to form his Eggman Empire. Sonic uncovers the plot when he sees Eggman's ship heading toward the North Pole, with badnicks and Metal Sonic riding on top. Thanks!

Blue Mickey Mouse

I could be way off-base with terminology I’ve probably heard in science fiction numerous times but I have a question about the dialogue in Mega Man volume 5. When Proto Man is first awakened he is asked for a self-diagnostic. He replies that all his systems report “nominal”. I often have to look up words I never end up solidly understanding/remembering but when I searched “nominal” it went into a bit trickier territory than the first few common definitions. I understand it means “as intended by design” but before landing on that I saw that word is used in describing energy capacity in photovoltaic devices aka solar-powered. The comic mentions numerous times that Proto Man was originally built with a faulty solar core (which Wily states to have replaced with a nuclear one, haha, that’s it’s own joke) was there intentional wordplay around that concept?

I’m actually asking this as I read for the first time so sorry if this doesn’t get addressed anyway between the printedmaterial or Q&As. As I’m sure you know this material is hard to come by in physical form.

Diane W.

Would you include the “Eggman resurrected the Deadly Six” titbit and address it fully by showing the full story?

Scruffymatt

If SEGA decided to add DLC to Sonic Team Racing, what would you like to see as new content?

Andrew D.

If Sally and Antoine were to return to the IDW comics, what animals would you like to see them as, assuming squirrel (according to old Archie material) and coyote are off the table due to being made up by Archie? And would they keep their surnames?

AWF

My question is are there any chatacters you're required to include, that maybe you'd rather not? Or chatacters you're just not sure how to write?
