My excitement to build on the foundation of Enigma's character means that I'm open to finding a take for them in any circumstance with any other characters involved.

I say "them" bc I have a very specific Enigma philosophy: Enigma the Phantom Thief is the base identity and they're almost like a shapeshifter (although, specifically, I'm leaning more towards master of disguise). I don't see them tied to any gender. I don't see them tied to any one species. We know about Megani the Jackal, but who's to say that's Enigma's sole (or even primary) alter ego? That's just one persona we've gotten to see so far.

Will amy get her own solo comic?

I want to write X-Men x Sonic! That would be the dream crossover imo. It would be so weird but I could make it work. I'd probably end up using the X-Babies and Mojo, that seems like the most fun way to go. (Excalibur: Mojo Mayhem was one of my fave comics as a kid and it made me a lifelong Art Adams fan.)

My buddy and I had a fun idea for a Sonic crossover that involved a second publisher. We didn't make it much beyond the general concept and that publisher hasn't been very responsive to me lately anyway. But it practically writes itself!

I've written a pitch I really like for a heavily demanded Sonic crossover that I've spoken about a bit online here and there. It wouldn't even require a second publisher! However, I've asked two different editors if I can pitch it and the answer has been a hard no so far. I heard some tea recently and it sounds like there might be a bit of crossover drama between numerous parties involved, so I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon (though I will be poking around about it at SDCC next week, wish me luck).

Sonic the Hedgehog x Sailor Moon would be dope.

I doubt Amy will get a solo series (a dream project for me tbh!) but I think Sonic 4 means that she'll have more of a spotlight coming up soon. I was asked to pitch on something along those lines at the start of this year but sadly my ideas weren't the right fit. I'm not sure what form that project might take, as I was told it was being overhauled. I was hoping to talk them into an Amy solo ongoing or a miniseries at the very least! But I was also going through some approval difficulties on aspects of my character arc for Amy in Sonic x Godzilla at the same time and I think that certainly didn't help my case.

My fave Sonic villain is Enigma the Phantom Thief! I originally wrote about that here and here.

If you've read my Eggman in SxG #1 then obvs you know I liked writing him 🤣

I think Starline is intriguing and I pitched an idea to bring him back at the beginning of this year but I didn't get the gig bc the project (totally unrelated to Starline) got reenvisioned and presumably passed onto someone else.

I would love to take a crack at rehabilitating Zavok for the fans! In fact, there was a late stage alteration to SxG #4 that required a new Godzilla fight scene. I pitched my editors three different ideas, two of which were Zavok cameos.
