The person asking asked several questions, the last of which seemed rather interesting to me: could Honey the Cat (from Sonic the Fighters) possibly appear in the comics?

It should be noted (and the person in STH #258's fan mail section even acknowledged this) that people have asked that question before. Of course, Bean, Bark, and Nack (also from Sonic the Fighters) all appear in the comics, whereas they haven't appeared much in the games. Also contributing to the possibility of Honey making an appears is her status as a Sega-original character; Blaze is, too, of course, but she's got her priorities as Princess of the Sol Dimension/Zone to deal with, and several other cats in the comics (notably Hershey St. John) have been scratched out due to the Ken Penders incident.

Hmmm...I guess it COULD work; however, I'd strongly suggest Archie eliminate the angel wings on Honey's back (I mean, seriously---a CAT with WINGS???  You know better than that, Sega!) if they decide to use her. What's wrong with the wings? IDK...they just don't look good on her (the graphics in Sonic the Fighters aren't very good, and Honey's cameo picture on the cover of Sonic Universe doesn't show very much of her; as such, I can't really tell for sure). All in all, I think Honey's design needs a few changes here and there---that is, should Archie choose to include her in the comics.

I think a modern interpretation of her character design (artwise) is just what we need to see whether the old design could still work. Personally, I think a number of fan-art I've seen that imitate Sonic Adventure style art should be suffice evidence even if it didn't come from an official source, but that's just me.
