1. It's doubtful a take down from Sega will happen. Sega in general is more open to fan projects then most companies. Sonic the Comic Online, a fan made continuation of the British Sonic comics, has been going since 2003 without any problems from Sega. The only real possibility of a concern is Ken Penders getting upset over his "characters" being used without his consent. Unlike Sega he's not open to fan projects, even once infamously saying that if anyone wants to do fan art of his "characters" they should pay him for the privilege first.

2. All depends on the writing. Ian Flynn was a well known Sonic fanfic writer before being head writer on the comics and he's since become one of the most celebrated writers in the whole franchise.
