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.

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? 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. Will the sonic the hedgehog encyclo-speed-ia include sonic’s appearance in the comics? Joe (via Ko-Fi) My question is whether Sonic X was canon enough that something along th...
