Hey dose when shadow uses chaos control to freeze time dose time freeze around the whole world or universe .

Harper
If you saw it as “too creepy” for 11-year-old Archie Tails to ever find anyone who likes him back, what was the point of involving him so intimately in the Fiona relationship drama instead of leaving him out of it?

Mister Mysterious
Ian: Would you ever want to bring back some of the random pieces of gear Sonic had in the past…?
Kyle: What kind of alternate universes would you like to see in [Sonic Prime]?

Does the entirety of Chronicles is out of the question to be adapted in IDW? …Speaking of which, does Gemerl have any of Emerl memories, or is a Theseus Ship’s situation, and Gemerl is a new being entirely?

Big Sonic Fan Patrick
Many fans have been wondering why does Mr. Flynn continue to compare Sonic X Season 3 to the IDW Comics darkest saga?

PrincessPandaLover
Are any components of the Tangle & Whisper miniseries, especially Mimic and Whisper’s trauma, influenced by any depressing real-life moments? Is Starline also influenced by such depressing moments?

Ian, have you received word on government and/or geopolitics in Sonic’s World? Are they just one big society or are there separate countries? If they are one big society, do they have a president like from Sonic OVA or a king?
