"Sonic the Hedgehog comics have been a constant source of joy and inspiration for me for well over ten years, and the truth is, this opportunity is a dream I didn’t believe could come true. The world of Sonic has a truly amazing creative legacy, and I’ve always pushed myself to make my contributions as meaningful and worthwhile as they can be — and that’s more important than ever now. I hope I can deepen the world of IDW’s Sonic The Hedgehog comics, exploring new places and characters while continuing to deliver exciting adventures about Sonic and his friends!"

"What I really wanted to do was just have this sonic boom, with a flash, and have the level change on you instantly."

"The planet Mobius was once a virtual paradise until it was conquered by the evil Doctor Robotnik! His technological tyranny would have continued if not for an heroic group of Freedom Fighters who banded together and restored order to the Kingdom of Acorn! The bravest among them is a blue streak filled with the most attitude going around - - and without a doubt, he is the fastest thing alive! ARCHIE COMICS AND SEGA PRESENT...SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!"

"Born to the most noble of Echidna houses, the latest to continue the family heritage and responsibility as GUARDIAN OF THE FLOATING ISLAND, defender of all the forces of evil from the world beyond as well as those who would threaten within, he is none other than...KNUCKLES THE ECHIDNA! Many years ago, during the Great War, when Princess Sally was but an infant, King Acorn sent his wife Queen Alicia to The Floating Island in order to insure the safety of his Queen and the future of Mobotropolis. It resulted in failure. Recently, the newly-returned, now-healthy King assigned a squad of his elite commandos to return to The Floating Island and ascertain the true fate of his loved ones. It is here our tale begins."

"Sonic HQ: What are your views between where the Sonic comic has been - i.e The Sonic SatAM Cartoon and where the comic is going? Why do you think that Sonic fans (well, at least half of them anyway) show so much animocity at major changes that deviate from the original SatAM Storyline?"

"Tails! Get off!"

"Of course! Finding treasure is my absolute favorite pass time! Ha."

"Come on! What are you waiting for? We gotta get moving or that Robot Generator's going to explode!"

"It came out of that sphere."

"I get it! So you two were both Metal Robotnik."

"Man he's fast! I've never seen anything able to keep up with Sonic!"
