How strong is blue beetle? does the scarab enhances jaime's strength or speed to superhuman levels?
Greg responds...
If by "superhuman" you mean more than standard human, then, yes.

In regards to Players, Chapter Five:
In my opinion, the comics industry sucks. In most books, we get a major cliff hanger, and then we have to wait a month for the resolution. But you have to go and leave us with THREE cliff hangers! And we still have to wait a month for our answers!
I'm sorry. That rant against the establishment just had to come out. I know there's nothing you can do about it. I guess it's because you're a fantastic story teller, it just makes the wait all the more painful...
But honestly, Chapter Five was fantastic. We pick up right were we left off last month, Batgirl fighting Match, Plas standing by helplessly; Manhunter, Flash, and Atom falling out of Brainiac-- I mean, the Collector of World's ship while Beetle, Wonder Girl, Nightwing, and Zatanna infiltrate it; Bumblebee and Gar searching for the force field generator; the Supers, Wonder Woman, and the Captains in battle with Kylstar; and Deadshot attacking Harjavti five years earlier. And you didn't disappoint. I'm not sure about how easily Match was defeated... I guess even a ultra-pissed genomorph needs oxygen... But the Lexcorp truck was too perfectly timed... like they knew ha had been defeated... hmm.... Beast Boy's still concerned about Ms. Harjavti. He seems to think that her safety is more important than anything else. I guess since he's just 12 or 13, he can't see the big picture... I liked the reference to Independence Day, the 'West maneuver' they used on Kylstar. But he certainly isn't someone to be trifled with, given how quickly he counteracts the League's actions. (It is a he, right?) I liked the two Robins confusion for Beetle. And that face was perfectly drawn. Christopher Jones has done great work on the art for this whole run. And the realization that the CoW was shrinking Metropolis... Leads to an interesting predicament. I just don't know what to do until next month.... Only question: is it correct to call Kylstar him? Alien genders can be unpredictable. Thank you again for a fantastic story that caused me to lose sleep.
Greg responds...
I'm sure the folks in the LexCorp truck DID know Match had just been defeated.
And, yeah, you can call Kylstar him. In English, anyway.
And I share your praise for Chris' work on the book. Stellar.
RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, BOOK ONE UPDATE: NICE THINGS FAMOUS PEOPLE HAVE SAID #2
RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, BOOK ONE UPDATE: NICE THINGS FAMOUS PEOPLE HAVE SAID #2
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'm going to direct you to Rain's page on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Rain-Ghosts-Greg-Weisman/dp/1250029791
They've posted some quotations from a handful of folks, who have already read the book. More often than not, these are merely partial quotes, so I'm going to post the full quotation here over the next few days. Next up:
"The perfect book for the young adult reader." -Stan Lee
Stan "The Man" Lee is, of course, a legend. He was also the voice of "Stan" on The Spectacular Spider-Man. Oh, and... he kinda co-created the ol' Web-Slinger too.
There's only a little bit more to Stan's quotation here:
"On a haunted isle in the mysterious Caribbean, a 13-year-old girl discovers her magical heritage! It's the perfect book for the young adult reader."
But I mean, Stan Lee! Not too shabby, huh?
RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, BOOK TWO COUNTDOWN, Chapter Eleven
RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, BOOK TWO COUNTDOWN, Chapter Eleven:
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 Eleven. That's right, folks. I'm on a roll. Admittedly, this is a pretty short chapter, dedicated to connective tissue for a number of different characters. But still, I finished my first pass on it in one night! Doesn't that mean it HAS to be good? Right? Right?

Hi Greg!
Ummm this isn't really a question but I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you and LOVE Young Justice... It's been my favourite show for over a year now and ugh it's just so amazing. There are literally no words.
I'm so upset knowing that one day it will be cancelled, although I hope it's later rather than sooner... I just wanted you to know that I love you and your work (especially Young Justice) and you've really turned me into such a fan.
Thank you so much.
Greg responds...
Thank YOU, Riki.
(I guess producing YJ's not such a no-win scenario afterall.)
Quinton Groves writes...
In Young Justice Issue #24,Seeing Superboy using the shields. Is someone giving them to him? To be exact, Lex Luthor? Or from a different source.
Greg responds...
Didn't you see him get them from Luthor in episode 122? If not, go watch it. It's a really fun episode!

Dear Mr. Greg,
1. In Happy New Year Dick says this to Tim, "Just don't die okay. And no unnecessary risks to the squad. That's an order." Is this some subtle reference to Jason?
2. Why did you choose to exclude Jason from the story altogether? I understand that Jason't story is dark and sad, but what about non-comic-reading people who don't know who the Robin in the Grotto was? The world will never know about Jason Todd's sacrifice. (3. See what i did there?)
Okay, my Jason Todd rant is over. Nightwing out.
PS the show has gotten to be just outstanding recently. Give yourself a figurtive pat on the back.
Greg responds...
1. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
2. If, as you suggest, we had chosen to exclude Jason from the story altogether, why would we INCLUDE him at all?
Everyone's SO impatient for everything to be included instantly. And then they also bitch when we include too much and THEIR favorite character isn't getting enough screentime because of it. Talk about a no-win scenario.
Richard writes...
I've been a fan of Gargoyles since ever, but i didnt know it co tinued i comics till two days ago!!!! OMG!!! THATS AWESOME! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! but now i have a questio about gargate biology. I read that they go into heat every twenty years, on years that end in "7" but ...
What about just physical maturity? At what age are they physically mature, and Is this different from when they are seen as adults by their clan?
Greg responds...
Okay, first, it's years that end in 8 not 7. (How weird would '7' be?!!)
Second, it depends on how you're defining physical maturity. The Trio were old enough to be considered warriors in 994 when they were 36 years old chronologically (and 18 biologically). On the other hand, Kermit and True would still have been considered children then, when they were 16 chronologically (and 8 biologically).
JC writes...
A few months ago my post in witch I said that I was looking forward to Mal taking on the roll of Guardian was deleted three times.
Now that it can no longer be considered a spoiler, I would just like to say YOUR AWESOME.
Mal as Guardian (and not a lame Herald or Vox) is the coolest thing! Predictable...but still cool!
Thanks again.
But, since this is ASK Greg, not tell Greg, here is a question for you:
Does Jim Harper aprove of Mal taking his moniker and costume?
Greg responds...
Yes.
Hana writes...
Does Black Manta really care about Aqualad? Or is he just being egoistic about his son success? How does Aqualad feel about his father?
Greg responds...
I think those questions have been answered by now in the show itself.
