Commentary for April 30, 2020: The idea of a story where Sonic travels to the future and meets future versions of characters from Eon’s World (or even characters he hasn’t met yet) occurred to me during my first pass at remastering Eon’s Comic two years ago. Indeed, I think it’s fair to say that’s where Eon’s World Vol. 1 had its true genesis. I’ll come back to that in a moment. As I approached Eon’s Comic #101 through #104, in which Sonic went on a completely inconsequential journey into the distant future that had no long term narrative implications whatsoever, I felt I could do a much better story for the remaster; after all, if you’re going to time travel, you should at least try to do something interesting with it. So, what if Sonic travelled only ten years into the future and met future versions of some established Eon’s World characters? That’s when I decided on Eon Squirrel, Delta Starfire, and Tails -- two characters Sonic already knows and one he will know one day. It was also a nice way to use time travel to connect Vol. 1 to Vol. 2, since the year 3243 is nearer to when Vol. 2 is set. (Admittedly, we’ve only gone as far as 3242 so far, because the pace of Vol. 2 is a lot slower than Vol. 1, but upcoming chapters of Vol. 2 will certainly take us into 3243. But the point is, the Eon and Delta here are only a few months ahead of the Eon and Delta we last saw in Vol. 2 Chapter 10. Spoilers, I guess, since this means you now know they’ll survive Chapter 12?) The thing is, telling a completely new time travel story to connect Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 that way still had a bit of a knock-on effect to some of the stories that came shortly after, which meant I had to re-write a lot more than just Eon’s Comic #101 through #104, and having started, I kept making bigger and bigger changes until, eventually, I realised I might as well completely remake Eon’s Comic as Eon’s World Vol. 1. No regrets. And talking of no regrets, what’s up with future Tails here...? Well, come back tomorrow and I’ll tell you. |
