Hey Greg!

Hi Greg,
I noticed in your memo for City of Stone that you placed Demona's clan living in caves at Lunfanan Hill in 1020 and 1040. Is that where that cell lived? http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?rid=134
Greg responds...
Canon-in-training.
Response recorded on August 26, 2011
I was wondering how long before 1020 that Demona's Clan, or at least the cell of it that consisted of "Second", "Kermit" and the other gargoyles who had hatched at Wyvern had been living at Lunfanan Hill. When Brooklyn seeks them out in 997, were the Lunfanan Caves the ones they lived in at that time?
Also, did Demona have a name for this cell (like calling the massacred gargoyles the Shruiglea Cell)? I think on GargWiki we are either calling it the Wyvern Cell or the Lunfanan Cell (which prompted me to ask my first question).
Just trying to get some facts straight for the Wiki. Thanks!
Greg responds...
She wouldn't call it the Wyvern Cell. Maybe the Lunfanan Cell.
I don't know that I've broken down exactly when each cell moved where, but I think Lunfanan is a good bet for Second and Kermit, etc., even early on.
Still, cannon-in-training.

Do the members of the Light know the identity of each other? As of Targets, at least L-2 and L-3 are aware of each other. If so, they why did they confer together with their faces scrambled in Fireworks?
Greg responds...
As of Targets, you didn't know who L-2 and L-3 were - though I assume by now, you have confirmation. Of course, I'm sure at the time, you made an educated guess - based on voice actors and other factors - but the conversation that Lex and Ra's shared hardly guaranteed that they were in the top seven. There are many characters who talk about and/or do some work for the Light, who are not.
But, yes, the members of the Light know who they are. But they're very security conscious.

Rewatched The Spectacular Spider-Man Season 2 this year, and I have to say that Growing Pains after several more viewings has really grown on me, especially having read many "Spider-Man has been framed" stories.
Now of course whenever said frame up occurs, Peter tends to recall them. But New Yorkers (whether they are civilains or fellow heroes) barely seem to recall that someone like the Chameleon or Mysterio posed as Spider-Man before.
Growing Pains on the other hand takes the more plausible route of having someone question whether Spidey's gone bad. Captain Stacy's comment towards Jonah sums it up: "This isn't the first time that the Bugle got it wrong when a copycat dressed up as the webslinger. Now do you really want to embarrass yourself and your paper! Again?"
Greg responds...
Thanks. We tried as much as possible to play the world consistently and let the many points of view there be voiced.

Hi, Mr. Weisman!!
In the episode "Eye of the Beholder", I've seen "Fox"(a.k.a. Jeanine Xanatos" turns back into her human self and she was naked in this episode, how did you guys come up with that story which aired many years ago??
Greg responds...
Um... I'm not actually sure what you're asking.
The Eye of Odin was created by the video game folks, but we gladly brought it into the series. The discovery that Fox and Xanatos loved each other was a revelation that came with the "Her Brother's Keeper" episode. The idea of the gargoyles being free to walk around on Halloween seemed natural. Otherwise, the characters just sort of brought it all together, giving us what they would do.
Doctor Fate writes...
After watching Denial, I had a question.
1. Kent Nelson states that he hadn't put on the helmet for 65 years, which would mean since 1946. During that time period, 1940-1951, you've stated that the Justice Society operated. From 1941-1945 the JSA expanded to become the All-Star Squadron. So does that mean once the All-Star Squadron returned back to the Justice Society, Kent Nelson retired from being Doctor Fate? Or did he stay on a little while after?
2. At what age did Kent become Doctor Fate?
Thanks.
Greg responds...
1. Kent gave up wearing the actual Helmet of Fate, fashioning a half-helmet that does not submerge his personality. Using magic studied and gleaned by osmosis during his years as a tool of Fate, he still pretends for a time to maintain the Doctor Fate identity but is significantly less powerful.
2. 36.
The Light writes...
Just a couple quick questions-
1. Was Alan Scott a member of the Justice Society?
2. Was Rose Psychic a member of the JSA?
3. Was Docotr Occult a member of the JSA?
4. And was the Crimson Avenger a member of the JSA?
5. What happened to the Crimson Avenger?
Thanks.
Greg responds...
1. Yes.
2. No.
3. No.
4. No.
5. SPOILER REQUEST.

Hey Greg, I'm so glad we're finally getting more Young Justice episodes. I only have one tiny bit of constructive criticism that dovetails into a question. Conner Kent is one of my favorite comic characters, and I love how you've been slowly developing him as he tries to find his purpose. However, he kind of comes of sort of angsty and the teams muscle. In the comics, I'll fully admit Conner became kind of angsty after it was revealed half his DNA came from Luthor, but it has yet to be seen if that is the case on the show. In his early comic appearances, Conner was more fun loving and loved being a hero. I guess I'm trying to say that while I understand Conner's sort of on an emotional journey, it's rather unsettling to see him with such a bleak outlook. Can we expect Superboy to become more mirthful and lose his depressing attitude?
Greg responds...
You can expect him to be true to the character that we've developed for THIS series.
I don't know how else to put it. The out-of-the-gate personality of the Superboy from the comics didn't make sense to us given the origin we were giving him in our show. That's not a value judgement; it simply reflects two different approaches to the character. We tried to be true to the core of the character as we saw it. You may not feel we've done justice to him, but we feel pretty good about it.
As the series progresses, he'll grow and develop, and hopefully you'll enjoy how that progresses... here on Earth-16.

I probably should have included this with my last question, but I didn't think of it until now. Anyway, do you know if there are plans to release compilations that would amount to consisting of all of the issues of the Young Justice tie-in comic when it ends?
Greg responds...
I don't know.

In Young Justice #8, was Artemis' mother crying over the fact that she thought Artemis felt she needed to hide her history and background?
Greg responds...
Crying? No. Unhappy? Yes.
Dani writes...
I'm not sure if this will constitute as a spoiler or not, but will be be seeing more of the less seen characters so far, such as Iris or Garth and Tula?
Greg responds...
Yes.
