Interview with CyberCEO Diane W. B. For more information, please visit our website www.cyberbacker.com
"Physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, medical assistants, and other health care workers are a finite resource. They don't grow on trees. And, though we all seem to deny it, they are human. The physicians I coach often wonder what they are doing wrong that their lives feel impossible. They are baffled by their inability to finish work on time, get the number of open charts down, clear their in-basket. They worry about the effects on their families and on their health and about whether they will later regret the long hours at work or charting at home when their children are hoping to engage with them. Poor work-life integration, when the needs of work and personal life collide, is a contributor to clinician burnout." Diane W. Shannon is an internal medicine physician and physician coach and can be reached at her self-titled site, Diane W. Shannon. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Hello, health care organization leader, are you listening?" Reflect and earn 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 CME for this episode.
"Toward the end of my clinical career, I didn't feel like I had control over much at all. The patient safety issues loomed large. We used ridiculous workarounds for broken processes. The constant vigilance to provide excellent care in a suboptimal environment was exhausting. I didn't see anything I could change. Based on my work with physicians as a coach, I think that the sense of powerlessness and being a “cog in a wheel” is now at an all-time high. While on an uninspiring stretch of road on a recent family trip, a realization came to me: There are many, many system issues over which physicians have little control. But physicians do have control over three things: How they lead in both formal and informal leadership roles How effectively they advocate for change Who they show up as every day" Diane W. Shannon is an internal medicine physician and physician coach and can be reached at her self-titled site, Diane W. Shannon. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "The sense of powerlessness and being a cog in a wheel is now at an all-time high."

If not, I highly recommend it, great metroidvania, but if so, how do you feel about that dark souls-like troupe of NPCs giving off dialogue for world-building in a depressing bug game like that? And also, what would be your favorite aspect of the game, world or lore reason included, if you have one? Finally, are you all for the eldritch abyss or the eldritch living gods of the world? That last part is less of an overall hollow knight question, more of a very specific hollow knight question to satisfy my burning desire to discuss those obscure bits of hollow knight lore. Diane W. What were you go-to kids channel to watch your favourite shows everyday; Fox Kids, WB Kids, Cartoon Network, or Nickelodeon? I know this isn't really my place to ask since I'm British, I mostly grew up with the likes of CBBC, and CiTV, but because I've been watching videos from a YouTuber about the shows that they've grew up with, it got me curious hear what shows or TV channels people like you grew up on. Thanks. STANDARD Q&A Tik Tik Recently, we found out about something that Batman cannot do, which has caused a bit of a stir online becuase "heroes don't do that." Ian (and Kyle, if you'd like), consider the major adult characters of your various works. Would you consider them "selfish lovers?" SkullxCake Will we ever see Dr. Eggman and Dr. Starline teaming up again in the future? Or are they done for good? breezy are you two fans of NiGHTS in any capacity? there was a brief run of a NiGHTS comic back in ye olde archie days, do you think if SEGA gave the order you guys would try your hand at it? (or any sega series for that matter, like billy hatcher or space channel 5? a handful showed up in worlds unite and i think they have comic potential) PC-The-Unicorn What's the rule in regards to Vanilla fighting? AwesomeCakester If you could see or be involved in another side story for IDW Sonic on characters that aren't Sonic, who would you like to see? Pentagon Can people used the chaos force to prolong thier lifespan and slow down their aging process tKoS After learning that Jun Kun was one of the Khans, does this mean the Iron King is a cyborg? If so, how different are his cybernetics compared to Ken's? Gawdzilla Where does Omega go to restock and resupply? Dove To Ian: If Sega tapped you to create a video game, and gave you absolute creative freedom what kind of game would you make?

If not, I highly recommend it, great metroidvania, but if so, how do you feel about that dark souls-like troupe of NPCs giving off dialogue for world-building in a depressing bug game like that? And also, what would be your favorite aspect of the game, world or lore reason included, if you have one? Finally, are you all for the eldritch abyss or the eldritch living gods of the world? That last part is less of an overall hollow knight question, more of a very specific hollow knight question to satisfy my burning desire to discuss those obscure bits of hollow knight lore. Diane W. What were you go-to kids channel to watch your favourite shows everyday; Fox Kids, WB Kids, Cartoon Network, or Nickelodeon? I know this isn't really my place to ask since I'm British, I mostly grew up with the likes of CBBC, and CiTV, but because I've been watching videos from a YouTuber about the shows that they've grew up with, it got me curious hear what shows or TV channels people like you grew up on. Thanks. STANDARD Q&A Tik Tik Recently, we found out about something that Batman cannot do, which has caused a bit of a stir online becuase "heroes don't do that." Ian (and Kyle, if you'd like), consider the major adult characters of your various works. Would you consider them "selfish lovers?" SkullxCake Will we ever see Dr. Eggman and Dr. Starline teaming up again in the future? Or are they done for good? breezy are you two fans of NiGHTS in any capacity? there was a brief run of a NiGHTS comic back in ye olde archie days, do you think if SEGA gave the order you guys would try your hand at it? (or any sega series for that matter, like billy hatcher or space channel 5? a handful showed up in worlds unite and i think they have comic potential) PC-The-Unicorn What's the rule in regards to Vanilla fighting? AwesomeCakester If you could see or be involved in another side story for IDW Sonic on characters that aren't Sonic, who would you like to see? Pentagon Can people used the chaos force to prolong thier lifespan and slow down their aging process tKoS After learning that Jun Kun was one of the Khans, does this mean the Iron King is a cyborg? If so, how different are his cybernetics compared to Ken's? Gawdzilla Where does Omega go to restock and resupply? Dove To Ian: If Sega tapped you to create a video game, and gave you absolute creative freedom what kind of game would you make?

Renard I was rereading Mega Man #53 recently and came to the grim realization that at some point before Mega Man 7, every Robot Master from Mega Man 1 would likely be decommissioned. This made me wonder...just when and how were you going to play this out? How would it affect Rock and company, do the Robot Masters just accept this without question, and how was it going to hit Rock when he witnessed Wily making off with Guts Man's deactivated body, fighting it as Guts Man G, and then probably destroying one of his longest lasting family members for good? I truly adore the way you handled the existentialism in the Mega Man comic, I feel you perfectly managed to make the series a little bit more than "blue robot kid fights old man, old man apologizes, repeat" without making it feel like it forced in any way. Diane W. On a previous BumbleKast, you stated that Knuckles wouldn't be allowed to use his Archie exclusive powers and abilities in IDW because… well, it's his Archie counterpart's abilities.

You've spoken on multiple occasions about how SEGA would disagree on something that clearly was plausible such as the Master Emerald effecting the Chaos Emeralds. In those instances, have you ever attempted to call them out on their mistake by providing examples and asking what exactly was happening at that moment instead? I understand not wanting to bite the hand that feeds and that it is SEGA's property, but I wonder at times if they just need a reminder is all. Unless they're aiming for a retcon. Personally, if I was in charge of a property and you pointed out something like that, I don't think I could just ignore it, but that's just me I guess. Perhaps the difference is I'd care about my property's consistency when they don't? Or am I missing something? I'd like to think SEGA cares about their property enough to stay consistent. Speed Weed

Past, present, future, or adaption versions? Whatever you prefer! AWF 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. Digamma 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? Diane W. 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? Dove 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? Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi) 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. Happytimes (KoFi) Does the split between Classic and Modern Sonic separate just the video game cast, or does it affect characters made for other media too? Scruffymatt Hey fellas!

"The good news is that imposter syndrome can be quieted with increased awareness and replacing negative internal messages with positive ones. In our work together, I helped Sheila identify the voices, understand the positive role the voices fill (and there is always a positive or protective role), and find specific mechanisms for turning down the volume. Imposter syndrome may crop up again, but she now has a toolkit to quiet the intrusive thoughts and move ahead with confidence. Not only is Sheila now waking up without dread, she’s explored several career paths and settled on one that she’s excited about. You don’t need to stay imprisoned in the dank dungeon of imposter syndrome. With the right tools, freedom is possible. Think of all you can accomplish, and how much lighter you will feel, when a more positive set of voices fills your head." Here's a questionnaire to assess imposter syndrome. (https://paulineroseclance.com/pdf/IPTestandscoring.pdf) Diane W. Shannon is an internal medicine physician and physician coach and can be reached at her self-titled site, Diane W. Shannon. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Solving imposter syndrome in physicians." (https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2020/12/solving-imposter-syndrome-in-physicians.html)

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, 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? STANDARD Q&A K McConnell-K I was just wondering, what were Shadow's reasons for going [to Angel Island in STH#...

What evil plans do they have for it? N'Oni Roses are red, rhyming is hard, how do you make a Zeti your Valentine? Scruffymatt Happy Hallmark greeting card day, everyone! How do you think Amy Rose spends Valentine's Day, and does it involve a certain homemade Sonic doll that she keeps around for totally legitimate, definitely non-creepy reasons? Dove If Sega, IDW and Wizards of the Coast decided to make a Sonic themed D&D supplement based on your work so far, what character would you make for yourself? Would there be new classes to fit the world? Would you have enough dice? Kyle! Pay attention, you can answer too. Momomimi Hey guys! Was replaying the Megaman Zero/ZX collection recently so I’ve got a Megaman focused question for Ian. Both Megaman Zero and Shadow the Hedgehog have very similar character arcs where they are forced to confront difficult past but of the two I find Zeros to be more emotionally satisfying. Ian, what is your take on Zero’s overall character arc and (if you can) elaborate on what ways you would flesh it out/improve on existing material? Scurvy Piratehog I have noticed a LOT of people mistaking Dr Starline for a duck, despite the fact he's a platypus. That makes me wonder...how would Starline react if ALL the other Sonic characters within the book ALSO constantly mistook him for a duck? What would he do? Diane W. To Ian, what would the Sonic characters’ blood type be? AWF Drogune! Your own wholy original story, not related to any pre existing intellectual property. What inspired you to write it? And how much "story" do you already have planned out? When I write something, I usually have the ending planned out ahead of time. Do you look at a story the same way, or do you just write until the writing is done and figure it out along the way? Papdripopolous Have you ever written anything using the classic Stan Lee "Marvel Method" of doing a basic story breakdown, letting the artist determine the pages and layouts and acting following the basic breakdown you did, and then writing the dialogue yourself?

(Throw in the main games cast and Tangle/Whisper/Jewel if you want to) Pan Dulce In the Valentines topic, we all imagine how the heroes would spend it, but what about the villains such as Dr. Eggman, Dr. Starline, Rough & Tumble, Clutch, etc? What evil plans do they have for it? N'Oni Roses are red, rhyming is hard, how do you make a Zeti your Valentine? Scruffymatt Happy Hallmark greeting card day, everyone! How do you think Amy Rose spends Valentine's Day, and does it involve a certain homemade Sonic doll that she keeps around for totally legitimate, definitely non-creepy reasons? Dove If Sega, IDW and Wizards of the Coast decided to make a Sonic themed D&D supplement based on your work so far, what character would you make for yourself? Would there be new classes to fit the world? Would you have enough dice? Kyle! Pay attention, you can answer too. Momomimi Hey guys! Was replaying the Megaman Zero/ZX collection recently so I’ve got a Megaman focused question for Ian. Both Megaman Zero and Shadow the Hedgehog have very similar character arcs where they are forced to confront difficult past but of the two I find Zeros to be more emotionally satisfying. Ian, what is your take on Zero’s overall character arc and (if you can) elaborate on what ways you would flesh it out/improve on existing material? Scurvy Piratehog I have noticed a LOT of people mistaking Dr Starline for a duck, despite the fact he's a platypus. That makes me wonder...how would Starline react if ALL the other Sonic characters within the book ALSO constantly mistook him for a duck? What would he do? Diane W. To Ian, what would the Sonic characters’ blood type be? AWF Drogune! Your own wholy original story, not related to any pre existing intellectual property. What inspired you to write it? And how much "story" do you already have planned out? When I write something, I usually have the ending planned out ahead of time. Do you look at a story the same way, or do you just write until the writing is done and figure it out along the way? Papdripopolous Have you ever written anything using the classic Stan Lee "Marvel Method" of doing a basic story breakdown, letting the artist determine the pages and layouts and acting following the basic breakdown you did, and then writing the dialogue yourself? If not, is that a process that would interest you,

N'Oni If you could adopt any badnik from the entire Sonic series, which would it be? Quantity is unlimited, but it can only be one of each type. Joshless Was there any particular reason you seemed to imagine planet Mobius as having a population of a couple hundred thousand people tops, or did it just work out this way? IanWaffles During the archie Preboot run, after Eggman brought himself back from his insanity, there were times when he’d fail and slip back into madness for a few seconds, this being depicted by his glasses falling away to show his red soulless eyes....so what I’m asking is was this detail something to pay attention to and that you intended to pay off? Or was it simply a characterization choice to show that Eggman was still not fully there? Diane W. -why the Black Arms decided to wait until now to invade Earth when the Glyphic Canyon was transported there over 2,000 years ago -why the Black Arms want to eat humans for their fuel -why didn’t Sonic and co. just tell Shadow who he is or why couldn’t Shadow just ask anyone who knows him Starline's fanboy Starline mentioned that he became quite ill after not sleeping when he was looking for Eggman...Does it mean he's still ill? What kind of illness does he have and will it be explored in the future? Or he recovered from it already? Ideria (Ko-Fi) Now I’ve heard that you are familiar with my favourite shows : Wakfu. Who has been your favorite villain between Nox, Qilby and Oropo? AWF Have you ever written a comic that had no dialogue? If you have, how difficult was it to do? If you haven't, how difficult do you THINK it would be to do? Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi) What are the chances that Captain Whisker can appear in the IDW comics? KaoticKanine (KoFi) Ian, if you were finally allowed to use Sticks for IDW, how would you integrate her into the cast? Andrew D. What are some series (game, movie, tv, book, etc) that you would love to get into or check out but don’t have the time? Blue Mickey Mouse Ian Flynn, you’ve told people they ought not read your Sonic fan fiction from before you became an official writer because it was of bad quality. When you look back upon Other-M does your mind devolve into hearing Samus say “the baby” as that famous .gif of Sonic Underground plays in your mind? https://images.app.goo.gl/8JNV9ZSqdo8...

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?

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? Johnny_B_Goode What was your favorite part about working on New Crusaders and Mighty Crusaders? Did you have a favorite character in either series? Chris A.

In issue 14, Silver holds Metal Sonic in place with his psychokinesis, so how is it that Metal Sonic falls through the warp hole that Dr. Starline opens beneath him if he’s being held? The only thing I can think of is that Silver’s psychokinetic hold acted more like pushing Metal Sonic downward, but that wouldn’t seem to line up with what we’ve seen of his psychokinesis before. Chris A. Do you think hellboy deserves a tv show just like the mask whether it be animated or live action? Diane W. If Sonic Boom got a season 3, what would you want from it?

AWF How high are the chances of us seeing a Sonic Timeline/Chronology in the encyclo-speed-ia akin to the zelda goddess trilogy of encyclopedia books they also published SapphireScarletta I want to know your thoughts if Shadow and Rouge would be a good couple. AwesomeCakester Do you think some characteristics, like Silver in TSR Mighty in Mania Adventures and Fang, Bean and Bark being labeled Hooligans, were inspired or even nods to your work over the comics? SonAmy Channel Ian, why do Archie Sonic fans refuse to accept that IDW Sonic will never turn into Archie Sonic, especially since S.O.J. and Sonic Team made it very clear for 27 years that they don't want Sally & Freedom Fighters & won't make them canon to their video games or in movie Sonic? N’Oni Ian - How it feels to chew five gum? Papadripopolous Ian what anime opening could you sing right here right now Kyle would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or ten duck-sized horses Standard Q&A RedScarfUK Q: Sega recently confirmed that Chao are gender-neutral and use they/them pronouns, and that got me wondering if Wisps are also genderless. Has there been any official word from Sega on whether this is the case or not? PC-The-Unicorn Are the Zeti more powerful then the Iron Queen in terms of manipulating machines?Would the Zeti have been able to control the New Mobotropolis similar to how Iron Queen controlled it since its made up of nanites?

Will there ever be a crossover of Archie Sonic, idw sonic and sonic the comic once everyone agrees to this? Papadripopolous I feel there's a generational divide in the fan and public reaction to Metal Gear.... Do you have any thoughts on this notion of a generational divide in the reception of this game series, and were you to do that story connecting MGSV and MG, would you lean more towards a Kojima-like real-life political commentary, or a game-lore 90s thriller approach? Diane W. Who do you think is the best thing to happen to Pokémon, Dawn (from Diamond & Pearl), Serena (from XY), or Lillie (from Sun & Moon)? For whatever answer you pick, do you think it was the best season of the Pokémon anime? If so, please explain why. Scruffymatt Quick question for you: did Thrash the Tasmanian Devil still exist post-Genesis Wave? We never saw him again after the Endangered Species arc. I was wondering whether he might have ever shown up again had the ArchieSonic series continued, or if he got Thanos'd out of existence like so many others did. tKoS In issue 44 of Sonic Universe (part 4 of Secret Freedom) there is a small scene that I thought was peculiar. While Silver and Shard are fighting Naugus, the latter realizes that Shard is a robot and asks Geoffrey to toss him his Chaos Emerald wand to crystallize him. I find this odd because I thought Naugus was capable of crystallizing things just fine without the need of it. So why did Naugus ask for his wand in order to do this? This may be another case where you don't remember because it's been so long which I understand but I hope you can answer to the best of your ability.

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 between stories? Saturn Flicky The JP SA1 guides say Tikals era was 3000 years ago. Battle says Emerl is 4000 years old. Chronicles says both were 4000 years ago. When you said Chronicles is non-canon, is this the official word from Sega? Should its timeline change & Echidna/Gizoid connection be disregarded?

If no life existed in Silver’s future before he returned to the past to help fight against the Metal Virus, then how was he born? Does changing the future mean that he is instead creating an alternate future and traveling to that new one and ultimately leaving his original doomed future behind somewhere to remain doomed? And regardless, when he returned to his future to see no life and sparse metallic plant life, I find it hard that he didn’t touch anything at all. Was he super duper cautious and didn’t touch anything, not even the ground, or was the Metal Virus no longer contagious at that point in time? Why would animal life deteriorate but not plant life? Diane W. In the future altered by King Sonic, Shadow was the one who took down the Eggman Empire and became a tyrannical ruler for the sake of world peace until Sonic, Tails, and Lara-Su ended his reign. What were the events in the altered future that led to Shadow destroying Eggman and his Empire and beginning his tyrannical rule? Chris A. Hey ian so I’m wondering is there going to be a tv show or game based on pre reboot Archie Sonic I mean everyone would really love that and you get to see your old characters again? AWF Could Wisps be infected by the Metal Virus? Ink Pants Hi Ian. I was curious what your more personal thoughts might have been when you were gearing up to write Sally's multiple sacrifices (getting shot and roboticized) at the beginning of the Mecha Sally arc. Self-sacrifice screams Sally Acorn, but this was probably the single most devastating experience for the FF, and for many readers. I have to imagine that was a fairly painful/difficult story to write even with knowledge of how it would conclude. I know it punched a hole right through my heart. Scruffymatt There are a number of rom hacks available on the web which allow you to play Sonic games as different characters such as Shadow, Eggman, or Sally. There are even some official Sonic games where you can play as alternate characters, such as Knuckles in Sonic 2 or Tails in certain ports of Sonic CD. If you could choose any past Sonic game - classic or otherwise - to be altered or modded so that you could play as Tangle or Whisper, what would you pick? J. A few episodes ago Ian said that IDW Eggman is not related to IDW Gerald. What's the story behind this? Personal thing? Sega policy? What's up?

You know like Amy, Tangle, Whisper, Cream, etc. With all the focus and dvelopment Cream has been having I would expect her to play a major role later on. Also, now that Metal virus is over, what will happen to the restoration? Will it always be a thing? Or will Amy end it/change it into something else? Diane W. In Sonic Universe #16, Espio brings up “The Sneak”, a name Sonic went under in StH #97 when he had to stay at Knothole under house arrest.

My opinion on the issue is Sonic going to school at that point in time in the book history was an Extremely a bad idea especially when Eggman is still alive and kicking plus they didn’t need to go to school and they could’ve written issue 94 about sonic and Co. getting jobs The whole issue Felt like I was reading a fanfic Chris A. Now that Archie sonic is gone would you bring all characters from archie sonic into idw sonic since they don’t have a home anymore like the knothole freedom fighters? Scruffymatt I've been doing a bit of thinking about the Sonic Mania timeline recently, and I'm wondering what it was that caused the timelines to split. For a few years I've been wondering about how classic Sonic is "from another dimension," but I recently came across the theory that the Time Eater snatching classic Sonic, Tails and Eggman in Sonic Generations created an alternate timeline - the Sonic Mania timeline, if you will. But now that this thing finally makes sense to me, I've started wondering what the cause of the timeline split is. What changed that made the Phantom Ruby appear in the Mania timeline, but not the main series timeline? Sonic and Tails got back to their own time at the end of the game in Generations, so that shouldn't have made a significant difference. Was the big change that classic Eggman was trapped in White Space for an unknown amount of time? Or is there possibly something to the theory that the Phantom Ruby is actually a fragment of the Time Eater which broke off and fell backwards in time when the Super Sonics destroyed it? I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on this one,

You know like Amy, Tangle, Whisper, Cream, etc. With all the focus and dvelopment Cream has been having I would expect her to play a major role later on. Also, now that Metal virus is over, what will happen to the restoration? Will it always be a thing? Or will Amy end it/change it into something else? Diane W.

Ian, when the ArchieSonic comics got rebooted in issue #252, you were given the opportunity to do a lot of new world building and create a number of new freedom fighter characters from various parts of the world... Did you have any plans for stories or characters in this area of the world that will eventually see the light of day in Lost Hedgehog Tales? If not, what do you think you'd come up with if you were asked to pitch a new team of characters from this region? Alex M. In the last two Sonic IDW Annuals, why is it that Amy didn't really physically appear but was still featured in the covers? Will she ever actually appear in an Annual or is there just no ideas/interest on a story featuring her? And two, I notice that despite the leadership/tactician role she's been filling, she is a lot less physically active that she was before. Is that because of her role in Forces and is it permanent or will she become more of an active fighter as the comic goes along? Lastly I wanted to thank you for what you said in the last Q&A about Tangle & Whisper and creating them to have more active female characters in the story. I'm glad to hear you want there to be more active female characters. You see i'm a trans woman, and it is very important to me to see more relevant female characters in the stories i'm into. I hope this means there will be even more of a push for female characters in the comic and more female focus in general. Or at least more balance between the male and female characters. PS. Can you guys say "trans rights!" please? Diane W. About your Sonic stories before joining Archie...Ian, why do you always write your Sonic the Hedgehog fan-fictions as grim, dark, and mean-spirited where you portray the characters as hypocritical terrorists, evil generic villains, being jerks to other characters despite their actual dynamic in the official games, GUN as villains, and either brutally killing off characters, or giving them downer endings where they lose everything and everyone that they love, sometimes deciding to take over the world for the sake of world peace? Did you use to have problems as a teenager or do you just like writing dark and gritty stories of a franchise targeted at kids for no reason at all? Crooker Can robots go super? I've seen some say that they CANNOT yet we've seen it with Mecha Sonic in s3k and Neo Metal in IDW. Are all robots capable of it or just the ones based on mobians? Could a robian sonic turn super?

Soni SEGA seems to be pushing Zavok and the Zeti a lot in many titles after Lost World, do you think it’s a good idea on SEGA’s part to keep the Zeti around? Diane W.

Will they remain on her as a zombot or would they fall off and new limbs grow in their place as the metal virus can heal damage that the zombots take? ------------- Standard Q&A Omega Markus If IDW put you in charge of Doing a Dragon ball comic Book how would you Have writing it and what Era of the characters would you use The Kid Goku Era of the characters or the Z era of the characters like Sayian,Frieza,Cell or buu arc or have it take place after one of the Z movies How would you and handle a crossover with Sonic and dragon ball TBF What were your greatest struggles in your lives and how did you manage to overcome them?

What if Bunnie got infected with the Metal Virus? Since the Metal Virus cannot infect something that’s already metal, what would happen to her robotic limbs? Will they remain on her as a zombot or would they fall off and new limbs grow in their place as the metal virus can heal damage that the zombots take? ------------- Standard Q&A Omega Markus If IDW put you in charge of Doing a Dragon ball comic Book how would you Have writing it and what Era of the characters would you use The Kid Goku Era of the characters or the Z era of the characters like Sayian,Frieza,Cell or buu arc or have it take place after one of the Z movies How would you and handle a crossover with Sonic and dragon ball TBF What were your greatest struggles in your lives and how did you manage to overcome them?

I know fan characters are VERY touchy when it comes to copyrights. BUT if Sega themselves make an official "fan character", do you actually have access to possibly bring them to the IDW Sonic comic? Andrew D. After the events of Worlds Collide rebooted Sonic’s multiverse, I recall the idea of a multiverse getting scrapped due to issues with the real-world ownership of the Cosmic Interstate. Then we winded up getting some sort of multiverse with various Capcom and Sega franchises in Worlds Unite. Can you share or explain how the multiverse, or whatever it was, worked after the reboot? Did Blaze’s World exist in its own multiverse alongside the other franchises? Diane W. When the Council of Acorn, apart from Rotor and Uncle Chuck, chose to side with Naugus despite the fact that he is clearly the bad guy, were they all brainwashed into letting him become king and siding with him purely out of fear? And was there going to be a story where the council gets disbanded for arbitrary siding with someone like Naugus, as well as refusing to allow the Freedom Fighters to go out on missions, even though permission was never required in earlier issues, as well as other consequences like, for example, Tails having a major falling out with his mother for betraying him and his friends?

Would we be losing a certain amount of heart or creativity from the franchise or was the comic’s tone and direction something better abandoned? Diane W. Hello Ian, I’m happy that you are still fighting to get the Freedom Fighters into the IDW comics and I’m glad you still like them. However, I heard that if the Freedom Fighters ever do appear in IDW, they’ll have to be redesigned for IDW due to the fact that the redesigns were made when the comics were being published by Archie and would be locked under their copyright claim. I don’t want them to be redesigned because personally, I liked the reboot designs for the Freedom Fighters, some fit them quite well, especially Sally’s. So, with this, will you please fight to gain legal rights to use the Archie reboot designs from Archie and use them for IDW? Please, because honestly, I cannot imagine Nicole as anything but a Holo-Lynx. Andrew D. In regards to Sonic Genesis, was there a miscommunication for the battle in Final Zone between you and the artist? There was some sort of shield around Sonic that was apparently a bad thing, but it didn't seem to affect Sonic in any way. Rotor was also able to remove that shield by doing something outside the room. Am I right in assuming this was a miscommunication where you asked to have a shield around the room trapping Sonic and Eggman, but the artist accidentally interpreted it as a shield around Sonic? Regardless, what is the canon of this, and how was that shield harmful at all? Just what was the point of that shield? EggmanInc what was the overall plan for the Tralius continent in general?
