Hello, love young justice and where the story is going! Love how real Beast Boy's mental journey is.
I know it was a long time ago, but you and Denys Cowan pitched a Rocket series that had the general Rocket/Icon dynamic.
1) Did you pitch the series after Milestone shut down/the run ended or was it in the middle of the run? Do you remember the pitch for the show?
2) Why was Icon your favorite Milestone comic? Why was Rocket your favorite character? Did you read the other Milestone comics?
3) Icon talked about race, class, abortions, and a lot of real world things that people still do not like to talk about. I know you pitched this show to Nickelodeon, so what was the age demographic? Kids? Teens?
Was there any talk about watering down these issues to make them more kid friendly? How were you planning to show their dynamic and the themes of the comic while airing on a kids network?
4) My last question is are you reading the Milestone reboot comics?
I know all of this was forever ago and it makes sense if you do not remember any of it. Thank you so much for your time and for what you do. I and many others really appreciate it/you!
Greg responds...
1. After.
1a. Not any details, no.
2. Rocket just popped for me. For a time, I read every Milestone book. Then I sorta stopped reading comics entirely for over a decade, from about mid 1996 - late 2007.
3. I can't remember.
4. I am so far behind in my comics reading, that too keep track, I've just been reading stuff on my iPad alphabetically. I'm on the Fs. But I will get to the new Milestone stuff eventually.

It’s a real shame that you decided to end up Chalant. Even if I believe that’s the worse decision you’ve made regarding this show I can’t blame you for that, it’s still your show and do you do whatever you want after all. But did you really needed to do it like that ? Like breaking their relationship out of nowhere, without any explanation when everything seemed to be perfect in their relationship ? Whenever people ask you why they broke up, your only answer is « no spoilers » and you keep saying that since 2011 but here we are in 2022 like literally 11 YEARS LATER and still not an official answer, all we have are fan theories. Why don’t you just say it ? At this point I’m not even asking you to bring them back just to respond to a simple answer so I can get over this ship PLEASE.

I mean, the simplest answer is that not every high school relationship lasts into adulthood. Frankly, the fact that we had two couples that did, is already a bit of a stretch. I know it happens - I have an in-law who's married to her high school sweetheart. But most of my friends and relatives are not still coupled with the folks they were happily seeing in their early teens.
If you're looking for some BIG REVELATION as to why they broke up, I don't know that I have one that would satisfy you in a forum like this. It's a story to be told someday. Or a set of stories, really, involving both what brought them together and the many factors (small and large) that ultimately broke them up. I have a notion as to why Dick is a serial monogamist, and why it took someone like Barbara to finally nail him down. And I have notions as to what's going on in Z's love life, as well.
It should be obvious that Dick and Z are still friends, still on good terms, even still attracted to each other. But they've moved on. It's okay if you still mourn that ship, however. I certainly see its appeal. And, in any case, everyone's mileage varies. But we try to let our characters tell us where they're going. And this is what they told us.

1 Why did G. Gordon insult gretchen and her devices on his show if they are both on the same side
2 Have ultra humanite and granny goodness always disliked each other
Greg responds...
1. They're competitive - but he also wanted her to seem sympathetic to the audience.
2. I don't think they've known each other all that long. But I think it was becoming increasingly clear that Granny wasn't fully servicing the Light's agenda nor was she big on obeying the Light's bylaws of cooperation. For her part, I think Granny has some barely hidden contempt for all mortals.

In the YJ-verse are Kryptonians considered stronger than (Greek) Gods and demi-gods?
Greg responds...
I think you'd have to evaluate that on a case-by-case basis.

Does Arsenal still act too recklessy when dealing with lex luthor. Or has he managed to keep his anger under control.
Greg responds...
As of when?

Mr. Weisman,
In regards to Dick's uncle, aunt, and cousin in the Earth-16 continuity, are they from his paternal side of his family since they all shared the last name of Grayson?
Greg responds...
Yes.
(Didn't that seem obvious?)

Mr. Weisman,
In regards to the Earth-16 version of Thirteen's parents, are their names Terrence "Terry" Thurston and Meihui Lan-Thurston; with the latter's maiden name being Lan?
Greg responds...
You're right about her dad. I'd have to research her mom's name before I could confirm.

Mr. Weisman,
In the Earth-16 continuity, are the full names of Barry's parents Henry Paul Allen and Nora Thompson-Allen; with the latter's maiden name being Thompson?
Greg responds...
I'd have to do research to confirm that.

how did you cast Maggie Q as Wonder Woman?
Greg responds...
Um. Brandon and Jamie and I discussed it. Thought she would be great, based on her work as Nikita. Offered her the role (probably through her reps). She said yes (probably through her reps).

Was cyborgs Outsider designation D08 before he joined the League? And did the D06 designation get skipped in memory of Brion’s time on the Outsiders?
Greg responds...
Brion's Outsiders designation wasn't skipped in memory of him. It was his before he left the Outsiders. And (with the exception of the hijacked designations briefly assigned to Vandal, Klarion and Teekl), designations are not reused.
And yes, Cyborg had an Outsiders designation before he joined the League, at which point he received a League designation.
As for specific numbers, the policy has generally been not to reveal them outside canon material.
