PRIORITY Q&A

Papadripolous

Fans tend to interpret the Diamond Cutters, their mother base in an oil rig structure, their tactical espionage action life etc, as a reference to a certain game series directed by a japanese gentleman who's friends with Guillermo Del Toro. My question is, assuming this is intentional, was Sega aware, or did you sneak it by? But hold on, it's not over yet- if it was intentional, was it ALWAYS intentional, or did the idea just come after you saw people react to Whisper by pointing out she's a sniper wolf? Did you put your will to paper or allow yourself to let the memes come to life?

tKoS

Is it possible for non-echidna characters to be possessed by Enerjak? Could conditions to "become Enerjak" be met by characters with Chaos Powers such as Shadow or Mogul?

AWF

You wrote Mega Man. Did you ever really play? If so, what was your favorite game? Which boss do you remember giving you the hardest time? I hope this counts as one question.

Madeline SegaStar7

To Ian, I love the episode of Sonic Boom that you wrote, Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Worse-er. Its so cute! How did the plot for Sonic & Tails brotherly competition come to be? Were you given this story to write a script for, or did you come up with this story yourself?

Andrew D.

Did you have any plans for Mr. X after the Mega Man 6 adaptation? In the final issue, we see in a one page summary of the events of Mega Man 6 what seems to be Mr. X getting thrown into a portal.

Rachel W.

My question for you is, how do you get into/find a characters voice when you write dialogue? Are there any techniques you would recommend for this process?

Diane W.

What kind of plans would you have for Locke if SEGA didn’t order you to kill him off?

J.

If the Archie Mega Man series had continued, how would you have written Mega Man nearly killing Wily in MM7?

PRIORITY Q&A

TVGuru (Ko-Fi)

Did you manage to get [a scene with Shadow] in? If not, what would it have been?

Jonathan (KoFi)

Thoughts on the NSFW Sonic community, as a creator? Do you disapprove/mind artists creating NSFW (Aged Up) interpretations of characters you have written?

Scruffymatt

What do you think is the saddest, most devastating, heartbreaking moment you've ever written to date? How about you, Kyle? Does any particular moment stick out to you?

Ink Pants

Serious question time: I was wondering if you could maybe share some of the sentiments or stories that might have been collectively experienced or expressed by the team when you all got word that Archie Sonic was to close up shop?

Andrew D.

When Dr. Starline was looking through the portals that he opened in the beginning of Eggman’s Day Off, the artwork in the portals was lifted from previous issues by the same artist. Would you say those events were happening simultaneously, or was it a simple case of reusing art and them not being the exact same events?

AWF

How come when it comes to Sonic characters, species like insects and bats (and even some foxes) can fly, but literal birds can't?

Alex M.

...since it is rare to see them ever wear something other that their usual stuff, when you decide to change that do you have to ask permission from SEGA to do it, even if just for one issue or something? And, can it only be stuff that they've already wore on other official Sonic stuff or are you allowed to come up with your own original outfits?

tKoS

How were you able to get [Blaze's Palace] approved and what was the inspiration behind the empire's look if you had anything to do with it?

AfroLuffyX

What would you And Thomas do IF you win the The competition?

Diane W.

What do you imagine Shadow and Knuckles would be doing, individually,

The Battletoads are back, and to celebrate, this week's NGI kicks off with a block of Battletoads remixes, along with putting a spotlight on just some of the entries from SLAY Radio's recent remix competition in tribute to the sadly cancelled annual Arok demoscene party, along with new stuff from the usual suspects like OverClocked ReMix and much more!

PRIORITY Q&A

StarMech (Ko-Fi)

I am a bit curious in regard to Eggmans badniks in the IDW comic: Like do all run on small animals? Even the ones that used not to like Egg Pawns and the other bots from Sonic Heroes? Which games are you not allowed to take badniks from? Either way keep up the good work!

shdowhunt60 (Ko-Fi)

With issue #29, discourse around a certain character has flared up. While I think it was a bit of an overreaction given the context, it feels like Tails as a character has gotten very little respect recently. What are your thoughts on his role in the franchise?

tKoS

What's the population of New Mobotropolis? Don't need to get too specific, a rounded up number will do just fine.

Ink Pants

So, just how much NSFW Sonic literature have YOU written, Ian? Don't worry, we're all friends here. It'll just be between you, me, and the internet. P.S: I am so sorry, Kyle forced me to ask you this, I'm just the messenger.

InvadeTurbo Tunis

Ian, how familiar are you with the Ratchet & Clank series? I'm asking this cause it's my favorite video game series and franchise overall next to Sonic, and I think you would be an amazing writer for it especially with it's over the top humor and action if the series went back into comics. IF you know about the series, how would you make it into a comic story wise, or would you just adapt the games into a comic?

Diane W.

Hey Ian, if the name of Sally’s brother were to be changed so that it’s not an anagram of her name, should his name be “Elijah” or “Timothy”, or do you have another name in mind?

Chris A.

3 years ago ian you said that idw bring back and completing older runs of fan favorite comics like pre reboot and post reboot Archie Sonic could it do the same with sonic the comic?

PRIORITY Q&A

AWF

If Naugus's's magic turned Bunnie's cybernetic limbs organic, and turned nanite grass into real grass, as well as anything else it could have done that we never got to see due to the cancellation, wink wink hashtag knowing smile, could Naugus magic have "cured" the Metal Virus? If you had used the Metal Virus idea in the Archie comics, is this an event we could have eventually seen play out?

Scruffymatt

One of my favourite parts of IDW Sonic #29 was that Eggman got taken down by Froggy - I laughed so hard at that! That said, I was a little disappointed we didn't actually get to see Eggman finally getting a taste of his own medicine. My question is: in previous drafts of this issue's script, was there ever a version where we would have gotten to see Eggman fully transformed into a zombot? What about Amy, Tails and Espio?

AfroLuffyX

One missed opportunity That I thought In The Zombot Story arc are Zombots fusing with one another to form grotesque and Monsters versions of them, Was this idea strap during the planning stages of the Arc?

tKoS

So I guess my question is: How were the Destructix able to travel outside of Mobius Prime with what appears to be a normal Warp Ring? And at the risk of sounding like a double question, what ever happened to Scourge's Super Charged Warp Ring? Basically I'm just asking for some clarification on the Warp Rings. Thanks!

Andrew D.

You’ve mentioned multiple times certain Sonic games being noncanon. Do you know a list of all games that are canon and noncanon?

Diane W.

Team Dark are not friends and are not affiliated with GUN in the modern games and IDW comics. Which brings me to this question; is Shadow still carrying out Maria’s wish to protect humanity and giving them a chance to be happy, or does he not care about Maria or her wish because he hates humanity according to SEGA? Sorry if I sounded a bit cynical there, I’m just still bothered by SEGA’s ideal characterisation of Shadow.

Mechanist Gamma (Ko-Fi)

Ive got a question when it comes to Ians view on the Sonic timeline - with Team Sonic Racing, does it come before or after Sonic Forces? If its after, will Team Sonic Racing be referenced at any point in IDW as taking place be...
