James Ian Flynn,[6] also known by his internet brand, the BumbleKing, is an American-Canadian comic writer. He is currently a contributing writer for the IDW Publishing Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs.[7][8]
Flynn was previously the chief writer for the Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its various spin-offs. His tenure began in 2006 with Sonic the Hedgehog #160, and lasted until the comics' cancellation in 2017. He has also written two episodes for the second season of Sonic Boom, and a number of tie-in comics for the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series. He would eventually be in-charge of the Encyclo-speed-ia[9] for the games and write dialogue for Sonic's mainline titles as well, starting with Sonic Frontiers.
History[]
Ian Flynn, in his words, "grew up on Sonic". The Sega Genesis was his first family console,[10] which he received alongside Sonic the Hedgehog 2.[11] He grew up engaging with the franchise's early media, such as reading the Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog series, and watching the television series; Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog, known as SatAM by fans.[10]
He had experience participating in unofficial creations of comics about Sonic the Hedgehog prior and gained initial recognition for a fan comic known as Other M. Not only has he been shown to be active with the fan community since his hiring at Archie Comics, but even prior to that with the now defunct site, The Sonic Info Center (TSIC). As a fan, he was once an avid mailer to Sonic Grams and later obtained the writing position on the Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie comic series) by sending in unsolicited proposals.[12][3]
Ian Flynn is notable for being a rare case of achieving a transition from an active amateur to a pro, with another notable example being Yuji Naka.
Style[]
Flynn's stories contain heavy usage of prior continuity & returning characters, trying to make good on storylines left hanging on a thread by those that came before him. One of his focuses and achievements as head-writer when guiding the comic's direction was to better fit the storytelling and characterization aesthetics with Sega's games while still retaining the well-known elements and history of the comic's original material. That ability transitioned to guiding the Super Genesis Wave event into the post-Super Genesis Wave timeline using the convenient timing of the Mega Man crossover, and establishing the beginnings of the Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW comic series) using the games up to Sonic Forces as a base.
Bibliography[]
Ian Flynn was the head writer for two of Archie's comics: Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Universe. He was also the main writer for Sonic Boom and every issue of Archie's Mega Man comic series, the latter of which had two crossovers with Archie's Sonic titles.[13][14] He also writes for Dark Circle Comics' New Crusaders and is currently writing for Cosmo, the revival of Archie's Cosmo the Merry Martian character.[15][16] He has also contributed to the comics within Archie's mainline comic series, including co-writing the final two issues of the third Jughead series.
Before IDW Publishing acquired the licensing for the Sonic franchise, Flynn had also provided writing duties for the publisher's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic series.
Flynn was the writer for the storyline of Sonic Frontiers.[17][18] Producer Takashi Iizuka and director Morio Kishimoto provided the story's direction, while Flynn pitched how to fill in the details.[11]
Since 2015, Ian Flynn has hosted his own podcast on YouTube named BumbleKast alongside his friend Kyle Crouse. In it, Flynn answers questions sent by fans which reveal personal opinions from both hosts and behind-the-scenes of his work. Occasionally, they have special guests which involve other members of the working staff or Patreon supporters. The channel also hosts gameplay videos.

Trivia[]
- Ian Flynn and Tracy Yardley joined Archie Comics at the same time, with the first work for them being Sonic the Hedgehog #160.
- The character Deadline, from Sonic the Hedgehog issue #126's 3rd story featuring Archie's Off Panel concepts, such as editor Justin Freddy Gabrie's avatar and 4th wall Sonic, represents a stand-in for Sonic Gram fan mailers, including one Ian Potto, for Archie's staff in Off Panel. Ian Potto, aka Ian Flynn, was sending in mail frequently to Sonic Grams five years prior to being hired by Archie Comics, getting noticed by Archie's staff at the time. 'Off Panel', and in the early years of the comic, frequently interacted and acknowledged Sonic Grams within their stories.[2][3]
- In an interview in Sonic Super Special Magazine #1, Flynn stated that his influences as a writer are "Shakespeare, Stephen Crane, Kurt Vonnegut, E. E. Cummings, Chris Claremont, Robert Kirkman, Brian M. Bendis, Mark Miller, Dr. Seuss, Jeff Smith, Don Rosa and so many more."
- Flynn is married to Aleah Baker.
- According to an interview with Sonic Fan Games HQ, his favorite Dr. Eggman quote stems from his dialogue with Lien-Da in Sonic the Hedgehog #220.[27]
- Ian Flynn has an online catchphrase, which is "#KnowingSmile". He uses it to tease projects he is legally not allowed to talk about.
- Due to popular demand from his Patreon supporters, Ian Flynn has answered questions roleplaying as Dr. Starline on BumbleKast,[28][29] and even sung as the doctor in the 2 September 2022 Q&A Podcast.
- Flynn's favorite Classic Era game is Sonic Mania Plus, closely followed by Sonic 3 & Knuckles. For the Modern Era, his favorite game is a toss up between Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations.[11]
- Flynn became a naturalized Canadian Citizen on May 2023.[1]
- Currently, Flynn, Tracy Yardley, Evan Stanley, Matt Herms, Tyson Hesse, Jennifer Hernandez, Jim Amash, and Jonathan Gray are the only ones, who previously worked on the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics, to currently work on the IDW Sonic the Hedgehog series.
- Flynn has met Deven Mack, the voice actor of Sonic the Hedgehog in Sonic Prime, during the 2023 Fan Expo Canada.[30]
- Unlike with his work with Megaman that required him to watch Let's Plays, Flynn has played most Sonic games, with some exceptions like Sonic Shuffle. He bought a Kinect to play Sonic Free Riders and a PSP portable to play the Rivals games. He admits, however, he doesn't remember every detail about them.[31]
- While Flynn has worked with the Sonic series and is quite enthusiastic about it, there have been a few characters and series he admits he isn't fond of.
- Despite writing for the Sonic X comic book adaptation, Flynn admits he never liked Chris Thorndyke.[32] Flynn describes Chris as a "whiny, manipulative, ungrateful little turd", and while he can understand the reasoning that Chris is clingy because his parents are never around, he doesn't agree with it as Chris has a healthy social circle with his friends, grandpa and his mansion's staff, so he comes off as unlikeable. Flynn is not fond of Chris taking Amy's role in convincing Shadow to save the world, nor how he risked the stability of the world so he could stay with Sonic.[33]
- While he has attempted to adapt the Metarex into either the IDW comic series or into the games[34], he admits he doesn't like them much, finding them "tropey" and with very little levels of depth in terms of characterization, comparing them with the Deadly Six; he likewise doesn't find their designs fitting for the Sonic series, thinking they look more like Power Rangers or Super Sentai villains. However, he admits that by the time of this statement, he didn't remember much from the third season of Sonic X, which had its changes when being translated into English by 4Kids Entertainment.[35][36] He has given the opinion that he finds season 3 to be very dark, much more than his work in the Metal Virus arc, with the explicit deaths; he finds the death of Molly and her comrades haunting, and finds himself uncomfortable with the death of Yellow Zelkova, who is an organic being unlike the robot Hyper Metal Sonic, inside lava.[37]
- Despite pushing for him in the past when working for the Archie series[38], Flynn admits he doesn't like Eggman Nega, finding him too derivative, and prefers to imagine the character died trapped in the Ifrit Dimension at the end of Sonic Rivals 2, unless he is asked to write the character.[39]
- When asked by a Patreon his thoughts on Infinite as a character, Flynn replied that he considers Infinite as a poor-man version of Mephiles the Dark, with an unimpressive backstory; he argued Infinite had style over substance, without much going to him other than what the marketing campaign did to him, including his theme song which Flynn considers a guilty pleasure. He stated that he respected Infinite's design being his own thing and not derivative, like Mephiles was with his resemblance to Shadow the Hedgehog.[40]
