Sorry that's on another world.

No we will not tell you how they cross over, even if that could lead to really cool worldbuilding.

I do hope we get an explanation for the two worlds thing, because I'm still confused about it.

Better than Red Hood and the Outlaws.

Apparently nothing there is from the author. Everything from plot, characters, character interaction, to even character designs are all tightly controlled by editorial.

Guy doesn't even bother planning story arcs in advance or doing research on characters anymore.

Evan Stanley will be taking over as the head writer after issue #33, while Flynn will primarily be doing a new miniseries focusing on Dr. Starlene.

For those who don't know, Evan Stanley is the head writer and artist of Ghosts of the Future and has a pretty rapport within the fanbase.

Huh? What's going on with IDW Sonic?

(*reads about the Bad Guys miniseries*)

OOOOOOOOOOOH!

(*reads about Evan Stanley taking over the ongoing series effective issue 33*)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!

From writing and drawing a Sonic fanfic webcomic to drawing a legit Sonic comic to drawing AND writing the main Sonic comic! She must be having the time of her life! grin

[up]I would think so yeah. It's the ultimate moment of glory for a fan. Toyatorou was the same way.

We have trope for that, don't we?

Bad Guys will be interesting.

When you think about it, these guys would be enemies of BOTH Eggman and Sonic.

We could see Zavok there. Starline might not want to seek the Deadly Six. They'd hate him for trying to use them the same way they do Eggman.

The guy has been writing this comic for 3 years straight.

He could use a break to get his bearings.

Also hey fan-fic author writing an official property. Always impressive.

Ian also started as a fanfic writer. Evan was also a writer in Archie and the Sonic Boom cartoon. She, how surprising, was in charge of the Silver saga before the comic's cancellation.

I thought it was a nice arc, and the Boom episode was funny to me. She is fine, and I can't wait to see more of it. Her biggest contribution to the franchise though, is that her interpretation of Silver more or less became accepted by the main series (you know, a dorky inexperienced youth compared to the brash teen from the Rival games)

Three Men and My Baby. The episode where Knuckles tried put the walrus kid in a blender.

I'm a bit sad the Silver Age ended up on a cliff-hanger that was never resolved. I still miss Professor Von Schlemer and his adorable Bits.

Definitely, although he will write the bad guys spin off, so I dunno how much rest he will have.

I recall there was even a Gargoyles spin-off comic called Bad Guys.

Another spin-off following comic's OCs rather than Knuckles or Shadow. Insane.

It follows Startline, yet it's called "Bad Guys". If the comic won't switch protagonist per issue...does that mean that Doc is putting together a team?

[up] Now that surprising this happens. TMNT had a "Universe" spin-off, same as Sonic.

And the current running Transformers comic also recently released a Universe spin-off.

I think there is a shadow ban from Sega to write anything about Knuckles or Shadow. Knuckles is because Sega is terrified of another lawsuit from a certain who by exploring the echidnas, and Shadow is because they don't want to touch the elephant in the room involving humans.

Like Whisper, I like Starline, and wouldn't mind seeing more of him.

That didn't stop them from writing like three different Knuckles and Shadow stories post-reboo just a few years back.

They're pulling a reverse Sonic Universe. Since they can focus on game characters in the main book, the side-books are free for OCS, as opposed to...well, you know.

I don’t mind the side series’s focusing on the new characters, while a Knuckles or Shadow miniseries is nice at least Shadow and Rouge seem like they’re going to get focus in the next arc (them teaming up with Cream for Chao Races sounds SO fun and has me so SO EXCITED OMG! ^^), and the side series give them time to flesh out the new characters without distracting from the main series. I really loved Tangle and Whisper honestly and it existing adds a lot to some scenes in the main series, and I hope Bad Guys adds more to Starline, I like him but he could use some time to grow

Now I noticed that, I don't think anyone has answered me if Shadow knows Gemerl was Emerl. Shadow had a partnership with the guy for a while, and funny enough, Shadow tried to destroy him before Sonic convinced him otherwise...only for Gizoid remembered its purpose and tried to destroy the world.

I guess Shadow being furious about Sonic screwing with Mr Tinker was due to experience.

There's no mandate for no human characters besides Eggman....is there?

Also, Ian was a fan fic writer before he ended up with Sonic? That's awesome!
