About the project

When IDW invited me to adapt Netflix and Sega’s Sonic Prime animated series into a comic, I said yes faster than the blue blur himself!  I also rapidly learned that translating animation into a comic required cracking an Eggman or two along the way. In order to adapt the show faithfully, I first rendered each episode into single frames resulting in a staggering 52,000 individual images per episode. From there, I studied each episode while writing the script (samples readable below), revising scenes and dialogue, adding sound effects that emulated the soundscape of the games and the show, organizing page layouts, all the while carefully curating each panel to ensure the velocity and action of the series transferred properly from screen to page. Collaborating directly with the team at Man of Action (story), IDW’s editors, as well as the excellence of our designer and letterer, Brian Kolek,  the project culminated in 3 volumes adapting the first two seasons of the show and–as a child of the 90s–was a real dream(cast) come true.
