>Barnes: "No, it's terrific though. I LOVE that book. Man I feel bad because I can't remember the mangaka's name off the top of my head, I'd love to bring him on and have him write some IDW stuff or translate it. He's great. We should bring him on and have him write a story. I'm loving it. I read that first issue of Blade of Courage and I got done reading it and then I like, stopped and was like wait am I smiling right now? What's going on? I didn't even know I was smiling! It's so good!"
>KaiZen: "That same mangaka did the Shadow one, the tie-in Shadow manga and I thought that was great. That got to take a lot of interesting creative liberties that were different from the story of Shadow Generations, but things that I still felt were very like, in tone for that kind of character. First chapter of Blade of Courage I was like, we just need this going on a consistent basis. And I just love that we can live in the time where sonic comics and manga can both be going on at the same time and they're both really resonating with people which is cool."
>Barnes: "Absolutely. I can't talk about the other stuff I'm working on for IDW Sonic, but one of the people I'm hoping to collaborate with as my illustrator, we're both like, our goal is to beat Blade of Courage right. We have to outdo Blade of Courage now. That's the standard, we have to now surpass that. They set the bar really high".
