Greg, I have 5 questions for you, please answer them clearly:
1. Even though she was an assassin, does Paula mostly love Artemis and always spends most time with her?
2. What was the cause of Tula's death, and how did Ocean Master became disgraced and ousted out of the Light?
3. When were Icicle, Jr. and Artemis became acquaintances?
4. Can you name a lot of birth dates of the characters of the shows?, we know Superboy's and Kid Flash's and Nightwing's
5. Even though Cassie Sandsmark joined the team a few months before December 1, was Donna Troy the first Wonder Girl and a member of the Team after 2011?
Greg responds...
It can be hard to answer clearly, when the questions aren't clear.
1. Although Huntress did some work as an assassin, I don't think of her primarily as one. So when you set that up as the premise of your question, we're starting off with a problem, as I neither buy into that premise, nor do I understand how it creates context for what follows. Nor do I understand what you're asking. Are you asking if Paula loves Artemis? If so, then yes. If you're asking if she loves Artemis more than Jade, than the answer is no. Are you asking if she spent more time with Artemis than Jade before she went to prison, then the answer is no. If you're asking if -before she went to prison- she spent more time with Artemis than Crusher did, then the answer is probably yes. But not much more. If you're asking about after she got out of prison, then obviously she spends more time with Artemis than with Jade, and more time with Artemis than Sportsmaster does. At least until Artemis went away to college and then went undercover as Tigress.
2. SPOILER REQUESTS. NO COMMENT. And by the way, that's clearly two separate questions, and you're trying to cheat the system by numbering them as one, so that you can get six questions in when our limit is five. I don't appreciate that.
3. Originally, as children.
4. No. I have not and will not figure out specific birth dates for any character until a story requires it.
5. This was clearly another SPOILER REQUEST when you asked it. Now it's ASKED AND ANSWERED. But the short answer is that the Earth-16 Donna Troy was TROIA. Never Wonder Girl.
Maya writes...
In an interview, you decribed Robin (Tim), Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle, Impulse and Arsenal as "freshmen" and Batgirl, Bumblebee and Guardian (Mal) as "juniors". Following that logic, would Beast Boy and Lagoon Boy be considered "sophomores"? And in that case, what would numbers B10-B15 be?
Greg responds...
I was probably speaking somewhat loosely.
I guess if I'm really going to break down the metaphor, here's how I'd do it at the START of Season Two:
SENIOR CLASS
B-01 Nightwing
B-02 Aqualad
B-03 Kid Flash
B-04 Superboy
B-05 Miss Martian
B-06 Red Arrow
B-07 Artemis
B-08 Zatanna
B-09 Rocket
B-10 Tempest
B-11 Aquagirl
JUNIOR CLASS
B-12 Troia
B-13 Robin
B-14 Lieutenant Marvel
B-15 Sergeant Marvel
B-16 Batgirl
B-17 Bumblebee
SOPHOMORE CLASS
B-18 Lagoon Boy
FRESHMAN CLASS
B-19 Beast Boy
B-20 Robin
B-21 Wonder Girl
B-22 Blue Beetle
By the end of Season Two, it's more like this:
POST-GRADS
B-02 Aqualad
B-04 Superboy
B-05 Miss Martian
B-07 Tigress
SENIORS
B-16 Batgirl
B-17 Bumblebee
JUNIORS
B-18 Lagoon Boy
B-24 Guardian*
SOPHOMORES
B-19 Beast Boy
B-20 Robin
B-21 Wonder Girl
B-22 Blue Beetle
FRESHMEN
B-23 Impulse
B-26 Static
*B-24 Guardian's a bit of a special case, since he's been around awhile, but has only been an active hero for a short time. So think of him as a transfer student.
B-25 Arsenal would be a freshman if he came back.
But keep in mind it's JUST a metaphor. Don't take it too literally.

For real? Young Justice is being replaced by Teen Titans, Go...For real?
A much as the fans may feel like theyre getting slaped in the face so some three year olg can get a good giggle...you must feel like Cartoon Network just took a big ole' dump on your face...
As much as I'm sad that YJ is almost over, I feel 10 times worse for you. I mean, I know youll go on to create something else prpbably just as incredible that we'll all fall in love with...but...for real? Teen Titans, Go. For REAL?!
Which imbicil(s) at CN that decided this should be fired and never allowed to work in television again.
Greg responds...
Wow, such pleasant imagery.
Anyway, I'd give TTG a chance. I haven't seen it, but there are some great people working on it. It's not meant to replace YJ, nor is it even vaguely meant to be the same kind of show. But that doesn't mean it won't be terrific in its own way.

Dear Greg,
I have a few simple questions about Players, Chapter One: Wheelbarrow, Shoe, Thimble.
1) Why was Bette at Nightwing's house? I mean, one could infer many different things, but I'd like the answer of a professional... no, THE professional.
2)
a) Why did Barbra has such a knowing/amused smile when Zatanna and Nightwing share a passionate kiss?
b)How did Nightwing and Zatanna/Rocket break up, and in which order did they date?
c)And (with such an intense kiss and Nightwing's fond remembrance of his birthday during Team Year 0)is there a possibility of a future Zatanna/ Nightwing relationship?
3)
a) Is Young Justice really ending?
b)If so, is there a way to help save it, maybe by writing letters or something?
Young Justice has been such an inspiration to me, I really appreciate all your dedication to this amazing show. The characters, plot, and everything is so deep and intricate and magnificent!
Sincerely and Humbly,
Galena
Greg responds...
1. I'll just leave that to your imagination.
2a. I think that's fairly clear now in light of issue 25.
2b. Robin dated Zatanna first. Rocket sometime later. And I only say that because it seems quite obvious to me. Otherwise, it's all a lot of SPOILER REQUESTS. NO COMMENT.
2c. Past, present, future. Anything's possible.
3a. No. Young Justice Legacy will be out in September.
3b. I don't know.
RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, BOOK TWO COUNTDOWN, Chapter Fifteen
RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, BOOK TWO COUNTDOWN, Chapter Fifteen:
In my on-going shameless attempt to maintain buzz about my new novel, RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, due out in stores and on-line on December 3rd, 2013 (but available for pre-order NOW on Amazon, etc.), I've decided to countdown my progress on writing the SECOND book in the Rain franchise.
I just finished writing Chapter Fifteen.
This one starts out sweet and quickly turns shocking and scary. It's short. But potent. (Or at least I hope it's potent. I am confident it's short though.)
Anyway, just completing it is good news because it means I've finished writing fifteen chapters in two months. At this pace, assuming nothing goes horribly wrong, I should just make my deadline for completion.
And tomorrow, I'll start writing Chapter Sixteen.

How does Demona's boob never pop out of that shirt?
Greg responds...
Which one?
Ran writes...
Greg, I have a small gripe. But before I talk about that I want to say I really I dig "The Runaways". It's refreshing to seen a children's cartoon (thought I seriously doubt you could call YJ one, considering some of the themes you sneak past the censors) that portrays minority characters in positive light, acknowledging their race and culture without letting it become a defining part of them.
Now on to the gripe.
What with Asami's Japanese? It's (mostly) grammatically correct, but contextually it's glaringly out of place, as the wrong words were used. I also noticed that the way she spoke seemed a bit... westernised? I speak the language myself and I found it rather odd when Lex Luthor had a better Japanese accent than a native Japanese person. I found the whole thing even odder when I did my research and found out that Janice Kawaye is fluent in the language. Did she have any input? I remember looking through the archives once and I think you said in one of your replies that you had some Spanish-speaking voice actors help with regard to how Bane Spanish.
Greg responds...
ASKED AND ANSWERED.
Do you guys EVER look and see that someone's already asked your question ahead of you in the queue?
pb writes...
Does Bart have an eidetic memory like he does in the comics? Also, how did Arsenal hide his arm in 'True Colours'? I noticed that he had it in his pocket, but that doesn't really seem like a very good method. There weren't very clear shots of it, so I couldn't tell if he was wearing a glove or something of the like.
Also, I hope your queue isn't too clogged with angry, hateful messages about the non-renewal. Though I'm sad it's ending, I'm hoping for a satisfying end to a wonderful series. Thank you for creating this!
Greg responds...
1. It hasn't come up.
2. What's wrong with the pocket method exactly?

When did Barbara Gordon become Batgirl?
Greg responds...
SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.

If the "meta-gene" is a new concept on Earth 16, then how do Black Canary and Black Lightning explain their powers?
Theyve always been called "meta humans" before (except for the belt Black Lightning used at first, but I havent seen that in ages).
Greg responds...
The fact that the idea of the meta-gene is only now being introduced doesn't mean it hasn't existed in the past.
Electricity existed before Ben Franklin went kite flying. Gravity existed before an apple fell on Newton's head.
Black Canary assumed that something her mother was exposed to during her career as a super-hero caused the current Black Canary to gain her powers. Call it a mutation if you like. The NOTION of a meta-gene is new. Not the meta-gene itself.
We haven't dealt with the Earth-16 version of Black Lightning's origins yet, and I'm not going to give it here.
