This just dawned on me...
1. Is the reason you didn't name Brainiac, well, "Brainiac" because that is actually the stage-name of Milton Fine, whome I suppose you are calling the Collector of Worlds was posessed by?
If this is true...
2. were there any plans on using Brainiac-proper eventually?
3. Is the Collector of Worlds from Colu?
4. Is his name Virl Dox?
5. Does he have a son? (I think you know where I'm going with this one...the L.E.G.I.O.N. seem like they would make a perfect fit in the show, as you've done so well showcasing aliens, alien planets, and the politics of the galaxy in general).

Greg responds...

1. Huh? Sorry, I can't quite figure out what you're asking here. But the reason I used "Collector of Worlds" was because the name fit better. But we tried to pay homage to ALL of Brainiac's other names.

2. I'm not clear on what you mean by "Brainiac-proper". If you just mean the name, we've already used it. (Then again, maybe you wrote this before we did. In which case, I'm wondering why you didn't wait to ask until after the multi-parter was over.)

3. Have you read the issues?

4. We list many of his names in the comics: Vril Dox; Notlimenif; The Computer Tyrant of Bryak; The Brain of Colu; The Maniac of Yod. Plus Flash mixes up the last two and calls him the Brainiac of Izod.

5. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

Greg I can't imagine no new Young Justice. I was really looking forward to another season because I know it would be crazy addictingly (a new word) good.
I was really looking forward to Starfire, since you guys said she's something you're thinking about for a season 3.
I just wanna tell you we are not giving up, we will always support Young Justice and make Cartoon Network air these episodes one way or another.
Hell, why don't you just go to another program?
Thanks for the amazing shows, Greg. You've been obviously told this before but you've got some talent. Cartoon Network obviously doesn't see it. It's their loss.

Greg responds...

Um, I get along pretty well with the folks at CN. I really think the decision had less to do with me than with overall trends and the current version of conventional wisdom and economics than anyone at all thinking that YJ was a bad show.

Hey Greg, in War, I was curious as to why Blue reacted the way he did in the end RIGHT AFTER Cassie kissed Roy.
Did the situation trigger some more biochemical things going on that made him attack right then and there? I mean it could've been another time with the whole team. Who knows, I'm probably over thinking it.
& is there a reason why Blue knocked out everyone except Wonder Girl?

Greg responds...

You're WAY over-thinking it. Blue Beetle was not in control of his own body. The scarab was under complete Reach control. They wanted the Crystal Key, and that meant they had to make their move at that moment to keep it. Plus it was the perfect opportunity to take out the entire Team. It had NOTHING at all to do with Cassie giving Roy a peck on the cheek.

I saw this quote and immediately thought of Superboy and Miss Martian.

"If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you won't give up. If you give up, you're not worthy. ...Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for."

Do you agree?

Greg responds...

I don't actually. So let's break it down.

*My wife is amazing, and getting along with her was easy from the first moment we spoke together.

*I suppose it depends what one means by "easy", but by any definition easy does not mean that it won't be amazing.

*Is she's worth it, it's good not to give up - unless she's made it clear that she's not interested. Then you should give up and move on. Or else you're a stalker.

*If you give up, you might indeed be unworthy. But this SO depends on the circumstances. You might be the better man for giving up.

*Truth is, NOT everybody is going to hurt you - not in a significant way. You'd definitely be better off with folks who don't hurt you.

*No relationship is perfect, but if you're actually 'suffering', then I'd have my doubts that person is worth it.

Basically, I don't believe in the kinds of absolute statements this quotation is making. (I'd be nearly as suspicious if it said the exact opposite in the same absolutist manner. Nearly.) Worse, I think the statement suggests a romantic view of love through conflict which is antithetical to my actual personal experience.

Instead, here's my advice: The best lover/spouse/etc. you can find is one who is also your best friend. And friends don't make friends suffer. Or drive drunk. Etc.

1. How was Nathaniel Tryon (Neutron) captured by the Reach? 2. Was Nathaniel a Runaway like Tye and Eduardo?
3. What is Nathaniel's general backstory up to his kidnapping?

Greg responds...

1. He was a runaway.

2. Yes.

3. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

I would imagine Wally and Jade (Cheshire) have had a little contact because she is Artemis' sister. How do they get along?

Greg responds...

Cautiously on his part. With amusement on hers.

Dear Greg,
Saw Complications, & dang! First off, I liked Slade getting more development, ever the schemer. And Megan was amazing this episode, single-handedly masterminding her escape & possibly gaining two new allies in the op. And man I'm happy to see Kal back to normal. But what I'm intrigued by was the end, when Dick used his detective skills to realize Scarab & B'arrzz. Man do I pity them when he gets a plan together.
Pass on my praise & I eagerly await the next episode!

Greg responds...

Thanks! Hope you liked it!

Hi. I realize that the companion comic book has been cancelled. Is there a possibility of some sort of a re-launch under a different title? It would give you a chance to tie up loose threads, and there might be a larger audience for it now that the show has been cancelled.

Greg responds...

That was my thinking when Chris Jones and I pitched doing a book entitled "EARTH-16", but DC said it didn't fit their plans. Oh, well.

Even though at first Bart was only interested in Blue Beetle because of his part in the Reach apocalypse, did he genuinely grow attached to Jaime? Or was that all part of him keeping a close eye on Blue Beetle to prevent a disastrous future?

Greg responds...

I think it's clear that they are legitimately friends.

O I forgot about another question I had: What is Martian Manhunter's new human biological age equivalent in 2016? We know Miss Martian's was 16 in 2010 and 18 in 2016, but for Martian Manhunter we do not know. (I am one of the frequent editors on the YJ wiki).

Greg responds...

For all Martians, I take chronological age and divide by three and then I round up or down to the nearest whole number. I figure you can do the same.
