What did Wade Eiling and Alec Rois do during the Cambodian-Vietnamese War and the Soviet-Afghan War?
Greg responds...
Stuff.

Hi Mr.Weisman
Two questions:
1. Did you give Slade a ponytail because you wanted to increase his sass level?
2. In another question someone asked where Artemis was in Image and you said "Does it matter? Anyway, hopefully I'll get to tell that story some day." and now I'm curious as to what that story is but I'm guessing that's a SPOILER request. So instead I'll ask was it a story that was meant to be told on the actual show or in the tie-in comics?
Greg responds...
1. <chuckle> Actually, I don't usually talk out of school here, but I was AGAINST the ponytail from the start. But I was over-ruled by Brandon and Phil. Later, when Phil was designing Deathstroke again for one of WB's DVDs, he told me I was right. Fat lot of good THAT did, huh? ;)
2. Comics.
New Zealand police officer writes...
How often does the Justice League visit New Zealand?
I asked you this question for a number of reasons:
1. The most obvious one is that most superheroes do not use guns and unlike America, most of our police force do not carry guns and we will continue not to carry them. Our general policing is not and will never be the culture of the gun.
2. Crime still happens in New Zealand even though we are a very safe nation.
3. We handle terrorism, gun crime, police brutality and corruption very seriously.
4. We frequently show wanted faces and serious crimes in a popular and successful TV show called "Police Ten Seven". &
5. We are one of the least corrupt police forces in the world.
Cheers bro.
Greg responds...
Sounds great.
But it also makes it sound like New Zealand is a place that doesn't need the Justice League all that much.
But I'd sure like to go!!

How much research did you have to do before starting on Young Justice? How did you go about doing research (ie wikis, movies, comics, etc)?
Greg responds...
I feel like I've answered this before, but...
I read a ton of comics, starting with the big black and white Showcase Teen Titans reprint volumes and all the Young Justice comics that I could get my hands on, plus a few other random things, including most of my own collection of New Teen Titans, Flash, Green Lantern, DC Comics Presents, Captain Atom, etc. I also watched a bunch of episodes of Justice League, Justice League Unlimited and Teen Titans. (Although this was mostly done to avoid copying what they had done.) I also read through (or at least skimmed) pretty much the entire DC Encyclopedia. Occasionally, I'd do a quick check of something on Wikipedia and/or ComicVine or my own old issues of Who's Who. And when I needed to go deep - John Wells was there to help out.
Plus, keep in mind that I'm a huge geek that's been in this game professionally since 1983 and reading comics since, 1969ish... So I knew a lot of stuff already. Plus there's Brandon and Phil and a ton of other geeks that worked on the show.

1. Is Artemis strong in science?
2. With all of her trick arrows, is she good in physics or engineering?
3. Where does she get her arrows?
Thanks for Young Justice :D It is my favorite show right now.
Greg responds...
1. Yes.
2. Probably.
3. She makes a lot of them. Green Arrow makes some of them for her.

Pimping John Wells
John Wells, as many of you may have noticed on the credit lists I've posted for Young Justice, has provided invaluable research on the DC Universe for those of us working on the YOUNG JUSTICE comic and television series.
He's written a book: American Comic Book Chronicles: 1960-1964, and he's recently been interviewed by KC Carlson about the book, his secret origins and the work he's done in and for the industry. (Coincidentally, KC was - once upon a time - my associate editor on CAPTAIN ATOM.)
Anyway, here are links to the three-part interview:

Check 'em out! And congratulations, John!

Did Wally ever attend Dick's birthday parties? Also if he did, did he ever run into Artemis?
Greg responds...
Dick probably had multiple parties since he has multiple identities.

Before I ask my question, I just wanted to offer an explanation about something. I see a lot of confusion from people who aren't shall we say denizens of the internet regarding "trolling". Trolling is doing or saying something to rile someone up for humorous purposes, and everyone seems to be familiar with the cruel, schadenfreude usage of this. It can also be used affectionately- your friend could troll you by calling you that embarrassing nickname in front of your new girlfriend. When people say you are trolling the fandom, they're not calling you mean- it's saying you're kind of messing with us, playing with our heads. In a sense, it kind of means you're doing your job really well as a creator.
My actual question is that I was wondering about Green Arrow and Black Canary in earth-16. I actually also really love Black Canary, and ship them together really hard, and I was wondering
1) what their first impressions of each other were like. 2)Do they live together, currently, or do they have their own places?
3)What is your favorite relationship dynamic for them?
4) How long had they been together at the start of season one?
5) Who are they probably closest to, within the league?
Thank you for looking at this!
Greg responds...
1. This question requires an entire story in response. And this just isn't the format for me to be telling stories.
2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
3. Um... together?
4. See above.
5. Each other.
