![]() I’ve got a number of fun Sonic projects in the works. Nrama: What are you working on now, if you can say?įlynn: So many NDAs, so many #KnowingSmilesQ. Stanley: The IDW Sonic titles closely follow game canon so while we don't have any immediate plans to, say, do an adaptation or follow-up of the game's story, the events of the game may have a long-term impact on the books. That said, the IDW series explores a lot of other aspects of Sonic's world, so those effects may not show up immediately. Nrama: Will Sonic Frontiers or Convergence have any impact on other IDW Sonic titles?įlynn: The IDW series follows the course set by the game material, so their events will inform future events. Hopefully, they'll like discovering the rest of the Sonic library even more! Stanley: From what I've seen, it's been really positive! For a lot of fans, this may have been their first time seeing a Sonic comic, and they liked it. I'm very happy IDW is supporting it too so that even more people can enjoy it because Sonic should be available to everyone. Fans enjoyed the call-backs to older Sonic media, seeing the characters interact in fun and positive ways, and the little teases for what's coming in the game. Nrama: What has the reader response been so far?įlynn: The overall response was very positive. I also did the lettering for this story, which I don't often get to do - that was a fun change of pace. Stanley: I think the Eggman scene was the highlight for me I always love to draw him interacting with Orbot and Cubot, and there was also a moment of introspection which is quite unusual to see from the Doctor. Granted, I didn't have a direct hand in all that but…I wrote the script, so that laid the foundation. It's always a thrill to know so many people can enjoy Sonic's adventures. Nrama: What was your favorite part of working on the prologue comic?įlynn: For me, it's the multilingual aspect, which was mostly handled by artist and letterer Evan Stanley. Chronologically, it's quite immediate you'll see the game pick up right where Convergence leaves us. Stanley: Along with its companion piece, the animated short Divergence, Convergence tells the story of how the principal cast of Sonic Frontiers becomes embroiled in the plot of the game. Nrama: How does Sonic Frontiers Prologue: Convergence tie into the video game, in terms of chronology and story?įlynn: Ideally, you'll read it, boot up the game, and see how one flows into the other. I've continued writing and drawing for Sonic the Hedgehog, and it's taken me farther than I could have ever imagined. My editors at Archie also gave me a chance to start writing, and when IDW began making Sonic comics, I came along for the ride. But I ended up getting an e-mail from the editor at the time asking if I'd like to try doing some freelance illustration work for him! Naturally, I jumped at the chance, and I've been working as a freelance cartoonist ever since. It was just for fun - I thought that maybe it'd get printed in the letters section, and that would be nice. When I was 18, I sent some fan art to the official Sonic the Hedgehog comic series, published by Archie Comics at the time. I discovered a passion for making comics that's shaped my personal and professional life ever since. I found a thriving community of other fan artists making Sonic comics online, which inspired me to start my own. The games themselves were good but what really got me hooked was when I started doodling the characters in my sketchbook the pure joy of teaching myself cartooning via Sonic set my brain on fire and catapulted me headfirst into learning everything I could about the Sonic series. Evan Stanley: I started playing Sonic games around 2005 when my big brother brought home an old Sega Genesis along with Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
