Here's a description of a recent interview Ian gave.
Quote:
About the same time, the landmark Sonic the Hedgehog #175 will be hitting the stands. It's a big thrill for me to be writing Sonic in general since I read it devoutly for years, but it's almost unthinkable that I got to write an anniversary issue. It's also unthinkable what I do to our heroes in the issue, but expanding on that at all would be spoiling. Even new readers should be able to appreciate the scope of the events in this issue. There's a duel featured that's been a long time in coming and was very satisfying to see on the page. There's one big event that will literally affect the book for the foreseeable future. As a comic book reader, you know as well as I that "world shattering changes" are often undone within a few years if not a few months. This isn't one of those changes, folks. This is the real deal. If nothing else, you have to pick it up for the cover by the great Spaz. It's chill inducing, and I love it.
A dual that's a long time coming could this be the Antoine, Patch confrontation we have all been waiting for since "Courage and Honor" and in some ways since "Line of succession".
