Karl Bollers answered some questions asked by StarShine on his ComiXFan forum.

1)Is or is not Mobius 25YL an alternate future?

Mobius 25 Years Later is one of many possible SONIC THE HEDGEHOG futures. DC Comics never says that the future presented in the LEGION OF SUPERHEROES is their official future and neither did Marvel Comics in their GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY comic. To do otherwise would greatly detract from current stories and affect whether or not fans care about what happens to the characters in the present day. Readers who like connecting dots between the past and present would be entertained, but those who enjoy suspense would not. Like the Terminator movies state, "The future is not yet written..."

2)With all these debates springing up about Mina and Sally, I suppose the question amongst both sides is: Will the triangle matter be touched again?

The triangle matter will be touched upon again, but not the way anyone expects. Mina fans won't want to miss SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #134.

3)Looking at two boards people wanted info on Mina's parents... What's Mina's mom's name for one thing, Drazen calls her robo mom and everyone else plain ol' Mrs. Mongoose o_o

Mina's mom's name is Isabella. The reason it has never been mentioned in a script was because neither Mina nor Sonic would ever have reason to call her by her first name and I didn't think it was necessary to shoehorn it in.

4) Another question I saw pop up was whether or not Mina's dad's a mongoose because he doesn't look like Mina in the eyes of some fans.

Mina's late father was a indeed a mongoose.

5)Who runs/leads the Freedom Fighters: Sonic or Sally?

Since the series' status quo has changed from a small group of ragtag rebels fighting an oppressor to three empires waging war, there are no longer any freedom fighters. Instead, the heroes of Acorn and Station Square are viewed more as soldiers. And since Princess Sally outranks Sonic in terms of political power, he'd have to technically listen to her. Technically.

6)How old should we consider the character Amy Rose? Some say she's 16, others 13, others 10.

According to Sonic Heroes, Amy is 12.

7)Will we ever learn about Bunnie's past before joining the Freedom Fighters (heh many fans like using the Cream sister of Bunnie complex so it brought about the question in me I guess)?

I currently have a story in the works that delves into Bunnie's pre-Knothole life.

8) Why is Tails the chosen one or will we find that out soon?

The reason for Tails being referred to as the Chosen One will be revealed in an upcoming 2-parter.

9) I also heard Fiona Fox is a Freedom Fighter, is that true? (yet another rumor)

Fiona Fox serves the Kingdom of Acorn, but like I said, there are no official freedom fighters.

10) I also heard Amy's with the Chaotix now? Is she going to be giving up Knothole and go to the floating island?

Amy was assigned to work with the Chaotix during the current "Home" arc due to the unique circumstances of that situation, but she won't be joining the Chaotix any time soon...
