PRIORITY Q&A

Andrew D.

Has SEGA ever told you what games were or were not canon? And for those that were non canon, did they say they could not be adapted at all due to being non canon?

Scurvy Piratehog

Since we never got to fully see it in World's unite...how would you imagine a proper crossover between modern Sonic and Sonic Boom to go? The Sonics interacting, Knuckles, Eggmen, ETC ETC ETC.

IanWaffles

How do you both feel about the hyper critical approach to media analysis we seem to find ourselves in nowadays? I often find I enjoy things more when I consider the time, circumstances, and people behind a project rather than treating everything in a vacuum. Do you think it creates healthy discourse for everything to be treated to such a strict and harsh standard of quality?

Digamma-F-Wau

Chronologically, when does Outlaw take place in relation to the main Drogune series? Given that the shonen jump contest chapter took place at Ruby Point and then the chapter of the main book that came out after Outlaw when the hiatus ended also took place at Ruby Point, it would be funny if what we have of Outlaw and that chapter of the main series was taking place at the same time unbeknownst to both parties, but obviously if that's not the case then that's not the case.

Johnny_B_Goode

Could you shed some light on the relationship between Rob O' the Hedge and the Albion echidnas? Rob appeared to be in a weird trance when he led Knuckles and the lost echidnas to the hidden city he never saw before, and then they were in some sort of alliance with the Albionites until their civilization was blown up by Eggman? What was up with that?

Diane W.

What are the possibilities of exploring Blaze having Iblis sealed inside of her before she Chaos Controlled herself into another dimension at the end of Silver’s campaign in Sonic ‘06, as well as the fact that Blaze was originally from Sonic’s world 200 years into the future and childhood friends with Silver before she was the princess of the Sol Dimension and keeper of the Sol Emeralds?

Papadripopolous

Thoughts from either of you on Daft Punk in general, now they've split up?

AfroLuffyX

Were the characters of Pre-reboot Archie Sonic like Geoffrey ,Elias and Mina erased from existence by the Genesis wave or they were reincarnated into the new continuity aka (post Genesis world) with a different body or kept there original bodies but have no memory of the old continuity? If so what would there background and character be in post reboot world

Hero of Light 13

Hey Ian & Kyle, first-time patron but long-time fan, it's my first BumbleKast question and it's also my birthday weekend (by the time you're recording this anyway)! I've got a lot of questions but I guess what I'll start with this week is: As far as the IDW Sonic universe goes, what's the Avatar character up to while everything else is going? I get that they're essentially meant to be "our" characters/OCs and whatever they end up doing after Forces is meant to be left up to our imaginations or headcanons, but in terms with how your world works, what do you imagine they're up to? Or is it a similar situation as with Infinite and the powers that be would rather you not touch that character anymore either due to potential future use or a lack of sustained interest? I've got my own ideas for mine but don't worry I won't share them here lol.

N'Oni

I was replaying Sonic Adventure 2, and a question struck me. When a chao reincarnates, do they keep their memories, or not? Do you have to remind them of their last life if they up and cocoon on you?

Creative Name

Hello Ian and Kyle! I've only recently gotten into the podcast, but I'm already a big fan! My question is for Ian: when you write for Classic Sonic, what voice do you hear in your head? Jaleel White from the DiC shows? Martin Burke from the OVA?

BlueTidalGamer

With Sonic set to get a new voice actor, who would you personally like to see fill the role?

Scruffymatt

Alright fellas, who would win in a fight? Darth Vader or the Hulk?

AWF

In a recent issue of the comic, Amy Rose was seen driving a car. She's supposedly only twelve years old. This isn't a question, I just wanted to point that out.

STANDARD Q&A

Smoogie Boogie

What are your opinions on Heavy and Bomb, and how would you give them unique personalities and stories with potential in the current age where we have many other robots on the side of good? I liked what you were starting to do with them in Archie before the reboot, so if you have extended plans to share from that, or just ideas that pop into your head now, I’d love to hear it.

Snowflake Flaker

At the end of Sonic Universe #70 did Eclipse and the Dark Arms land on Mystic Ruins? It looks like they landed in a swampy rainforest and it makes sense to me because I think Angel Island is just above it? (I could be wrong about that)

Saturn537

To Ian, I know you've talked about how you wanted to do a Mega Man X comic book series, but it never happened, and you've also talked about what you would do when you got to the Mega Man X4 adaptation, but my question is what would you do with Axl when you got to the Mega Man X7 adaptation? Would you do anything to make him less annoying, or would you keep him relatively the same, just to stay true to his character development in Mega Man X8?

DaddlertheDalek

Do you remember Hawaiian Shadow from that fake Sonic Boom leak, back in late 2013/early 2014? You know that "leak" with Scottish Tails, Fat & evil Silver and more crazy stuff. Shadow was supposed to be a lazy surfer dude who drinks margaritas, wears a hawaiian shirt and shades and was like the James to Rouge's Jessie as Team Rocket like villains, but Shadow just wanted to relax all day. It became somewhat of a meme back in the day.

Ivan F.

Since Sonic isn't allowed to cry anymore, does that mean there is demon sealed inside of him too?

Michael B.

Is the Human world off limits in IDW, or could we see it in future issues?
