Commentary for April 27, 2022:

So, venture back with me for a moment to the distant past year of 2003. I was seventeen years old and having a lot of fun writing Eon’s Comic. It was still early days back then and the stories would get pretty wild. Well, one of those stories involved Sonic going to the Little Planet and travelling to the future; when he returned, he came back with a couple of new characters, who were OC’s belonging to friends from back then. Now, this story of Sonic travelling to the future was reimagined as Chapter 26, ‘Future Tense’, which went up in season 2 two years ago. But aside from going to the Little Planet and travelling into the future, almost everything else about that story was changed from the original. But the fallout of the original story was the addition of two new characters who did not belong in that time, and that’s why Katherine Elm first appeared, to prevent damage to the timeline by taking those characters back to the future they came from.

Kathy went on to become one of the most important recurring characters from the original Eon’s Comic, so much so that there was never any question in my mind as to whether she’d be considered canon to Eon’s World, and she was the protagonist in Vol. 2’s Chapter 9, ‘Fallen Angel’, which is, in my opinion, the absolute best chapter of Vol. 2 to date. So, obviously, I needed her to still appear in Vol. 1 when it reached the appropriate point in the timeline. And that is where we are now.

But what existing character from any of the established fictions Eon’s World is based on could fill the role of a rogue time traveller instead of those forgotten OC’s from Eon’s Comic? Obviously, the answer was Silver the Hedgehog. He literally is a time traveller from the future. You could not find a more appropriate character to fill this role. But back when I wrote the original story in 2003, Silver didn’t yet exist and by the time he did, like I said yesterday, I was trying to move Eon’s Comic away from the Sonic stuff. The beauty of a complete remake like this is having the entire bounty of over thirty years of Sonic lore to mine for characters, places, and story ideas.
