RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, BOOK TWO COUNTDOWN, Chapter Twenty-Nine

RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, BOOK TWO COUNTDOWN, Chapter Twenty-Nine:

Here's another of my shameless attempts 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.):

http://www.amazon.com/Rain-Ghosts-Greg-Weisman/dp/1250029791

Since there's not too much to report about the first book now, I'm counting down my progress writing the SECOND book in the Rain franchise, which should come out sometime in 2014.

Tonight, I finished writing Chapter Twenty-Nine. This one took awhile because (a) it was a complicated endeavor, bringing multiple elements together and (b) I'm on a family vacation in Europe and having a blast - but finding the time and energy to write and edit for Star Wars Rebels and Rain has been a bit difficult...

But tomorrow, hopefully, I'll start on Chapter Thirty.

Since there's not too much to report about the first book now, I'm counting down my progress writing the SECOND book in the Rain franchise, which should come out sometime in 2014.

Tonight, I finished writing Chapter Twenty-Seven. This one had two very distinct sections. A police procedural and a dream sequence. Now, come on - how many books can give you that within the span of a few pages? You know you want to pre-order!!

Tomorrow, I'll start on Chapter Twenty-Eight.

I really feel for Lagaan. He was a genuinely interesting character. It's a crying shame he was brought in to be treated like a chump by Miss Martian. She does not deserve either him or Conner. I am zero sympathies for her. No doubt you want to appease the shippers seeing this is the last season but her and Conner of all the couples are the worse in terms of the way they started and why they broke up. Not to mention how quickly she rebounded. It's been a good show with generally good character development and all the couples...I especially loved Zee and Robin and yet you broke them up but it wwas done in an alright way. I didn't mind. Lagaan was the outcast and cared for her and yet its clear he was dragged in to be used as some monkey wrench. He got zero development after a while unlike Beetle and Bart and many of the other new comeres etc. I guess good looks win in the end.

Greg responds...

I don't buy into anything you've said above.

I don't have any problem with how M'gann and Conner got together. I like it.

As for why they broke up, I won't excuse what she did. But I won't consider her beyond redemption either.

Whether or not M'gann and Conner get back together (a) is still unknown and (b) has nothing to do with what shippers do or do not want.

Whether or not they're still attracted to each other and have a connection is obvious.

I feel for Lagaan, as well. But let's be fair. He knew what he was getting into. He knew she was on the rebound. He pursued it anyway. Took his chances and got burned. Ask him if he has any regrets.

M'gann has made all sorts of mistakes, but breaking up with Lagaan (a) wasn't one of them and (b) has nothing to do with "good looks" or the lack thereof.

M'gann considers Lagaan handsome, and her ongoing (if confused) interest in Conner has nothing to do with his looks anymore.

And I don't agree that Lagaan got "zero development". He was a supporting character and got about as much or more screentime as other supporting characters on the Team, e.g. Cassie, Tim and Garfield. Throw in his appearances in our companion comic, and he arguably got considerably more time and development.

But I'm glad you liked Zatanna and Dick.

What year was Morgana le Fay born? Or what year was she "exchanged" with Gorlois and Igraine's child?

Greg responds...

Haven't fully incorporated all the Arthurian stuff into my master timeline. Planned to do it for the Pendragon spin-off. And then SLG lost the Gargoyles license. All the research is done on index cards, but I don't have all the math done.

Since there's not too much to report about the first book now, I'm counting down my progress writing the SECOND book in the Rain franchise, which should come out sometime in 2014.

Tonight, I finished writing Chapter Twenty-Six. This one had a lot of choices to make vis-a-vis narration. I found myself bouncing back and forth between direct and indirect descriptions of events. And playing a bit with point-of-view.

Tomorrow, I'll start on Chapter Twenty-Seven, which in part, describes the same events as in Twenty-Six, but from a different perspective.

Hi Greg! Tim Drake is my favorite character in the DC Universe. I was wondering, could you give us any background information on how Tim became Robin in the Young Justice universe? Is it at all different than his original story in the comics?

Just one question, did "Green Lantern: The animated series" had something to do with the fact that we didn't saw Hal Jordan in Young Justice: Invasion?

Um, you did. He appeared twice.

Hi Greg, I would like to know something about the rookery of the Avalon Clan for Liberty Clan. At Avalon, by the year 2188, only about 8 years have passed and the gargoyles my bill be 45 years old. So that they are even younger than the other gargoyles lay their first egg? In general, it would already be the year 2308, before they are 50 and really should place their first egg.

Greg responds...

I'm sorry. Maybe it's the typos, but I'm not following you.

Also, my timeline doesn't go as far as 2308.

This might be a bit of a stupid question, but im curious when black manta was fighting sportsmaster, he could shoot laser beams from his helmet. So my question is, how does he shoot them? What actviates them? Another question why didnt sportsmaster use a magnetic disk to short out black mantas armour like cheshire?

Greg responds...

1. I don't know.

2. Maybe he WANTED to pound on him.

I had a very random question for you that I wonder if you've even thought about yet where Earth-16 is concerned.

As you may know, some time ago, DC introduced a comic issue where we learned that Guy Gardner is gay.

Have you taken time to consider weather he is or isn't in Earth-16? If you have thought about it, could you share with us what is sexual orientation is in Earth-16?

Greg responds...

If I haven't thought about it, how can I share it?

Mr. Weisman
I have always loved the justice league and watched all the TV shows, but I am very very new to the comic world so i apologize in advance if my questions seem stupid or obvious!
1. In the comic world, were Artemis and Wally originally paired? If not, what made you decide to make them a couple?
2. Same with Superboy and Megan
3. Same with Robin/Nightwing and Zatarra, though they're not a couple, what was the idea behind the slight romance between them?

Thanks so much:)

Greg responds...

1. No.

1a. They decided and told us. Or that's what it seemed like.

2 and 2a. Ditto.

3. See above.

Just finished "The Hunt", and it was great. A couple of questions popped into my head while I was watching, so I thought I'd ask.
What is that sound when Tye powers up his astral form? I think I've heard it before but I'm not sure where.
Did Lex Luthor attune the Fatherbox to Superboy's DNA because he was the easiest to lock onto or is it just his twisted way of showing a fatherly protective instinct?
And finally, why were they frozen in those positions? It looked a bit bizarre.

Greg responds...

1. I don't recall. Do you mean the chanting?

2. Yes and yes.

3. Don't overthink it.

Is it just me or is Tigress's face a little rearranged/different than Artemis's? I mean with Artemis's hair down she looked different, but when Tigress has her mask off she looks totally different! It could just be the hair and skin color thats making me see this way, but I thought you might have made the charm change her appearance a little, otherwise Tigress would look too close to Artemis.
& by the way, how does Zatanna not know about this? Shouldn't she be suspicious of the specific charm? Sorry but "we have a history" doesn't explain it. Unless you know, Nightwing did a favor for Zatanna ;)
Thank you soo much for these amazing shows & we wont stop fighting to bring back another season!! Definitely not after these recent episodes! You and the other members of the show are too talented!!

Greg responds...

It's a whole different face.

Zatanna trusts Nightwing. She knows he's using it for something. But she trusts it's a good something.

What are Wally and Artemis' majors in college?

Greg responds...

I'd have to do a little research to answer this, but Wally's doing some kind of Physics major. And Artemis is probably double majoring in Human Biology and Comparative literature.

Tonight, I'll start on Chapter Twenty-Six.
