After speaking with Ken Penders at the San Diego Comic Convention, I gained some valuable insight into the Sonic Universe.The Real Tails story arc was originally like this: The Tails of this world had died during childbirth. Rosie from another zone passed on their Tails in order to save it from their Robotnik. But Sonic did not exist in the zone that Rosie and Tails had come from. You see, Sonic and Tails were always destined to be together. (This idea was dropped because the Real Tails did appear in the battle with Mammoth Mogul.)
The Real Tails will return after Sonic 106 (no exact # yet).
Lara-Su will debut in Sonic 106. Color has still not been decided.
The Mina thing with Sonic would have been different had Ken done it. Sonic would have enjoyed the kiss and return it with the one he gave to Sally in Directors Cut. Sally would have looked more crushed too.
Julie-Su will appear as one of the firsts in the Character Pages.
Hope you enjoyed the news!
