What are Brandon's responsibilities on YJ, specifically? What does his job consist of?
Greg responds...
EVERYTHING.
In theory, I'm in charge of Writing and Voice. He's top dog on Design and Direction. We both cover post.
But Brandon and I are full partners in every sense. We both break the stories together. And we both write individual episodes. I story edit every script, whether it's written by Brandon, one of our freelancers, or myself. But Brandon gives notes on every script.
We both supervise voice recordings. We both supervise boards, animatics and all designs. We both do post-production together. Because I'm color deficient, Brandon handles Quantel without me. But the rest we do together. Brandon can also draw, so he does some frame corrections and other improvements I could never do.
Plus, he's smarter than I am. He's irreplaceable. I'm largely irreplaceable. Largely.

Hi Greg. When Uncle Ben appeared in Peter's mind to help him fight the symbiote, was that Peter's mind manifesting as someone he loved, or was Uncle Ben really helping Peter from beyond the grave?
Greg responds...
The former.
(Or so we've been led to believe!!!!)

I remember reading your mini run with The Amazing Spider-man.
Would you be open to doing a one off comic. I'd love to see you do something with Superman and Batman in the comics, like a fun one off. Like Max Landis does
Greg responds...
"mini run"? I wrote half of one issue. That's VERY mini.
I'd love to do more comics work for the big two. I haven't been invited.

1. Where did Red Tornado get the key to the Tower of Fate?
2. Why did Red Tornado just happen to have the key on his person? Was he going to investigate by himself?
3. Is Icicle Jr. technically a metahuman?
4. Did Captain Cold ever form the Rogues?
5. Why did Kid Flash run the heart across America instead of the Flash, who is exponentially faster and could have done it in less time?
Greg responds...
1. From Kent Nelson.
2. He was about to go investigate. Kent had given him the key for safe-keeping.
3. Probably.
4. No spoilers.
5. Batman made a call that he needed Flash on the Ice-Fortress mission.
Heather writes...
Did you have to make changes to the young justice timeline since young justice invasion air ?
Greg responds...
Since it aired? No.
Do you mean "Since we made it?"
Additions, yes. "Changes"? Not really. Corrected some typos. Got more specific about certain things. Etc.

Hey Greg I wanna say congratulations on season 3 of YJ! It's my favorite show and i'm so excited it got renewed.
1. Is Barry Allen's mother dead?
2. Is Barry Allen's father in jail?
3. Is Plastic Man as ridiculously durable as he is in the comics? i.e. could he survive being scattered across the ocean floor for thousands of years?
4. What does the "G" in G. Gordon Godfrey stand for?
5. Did anyone ever figure out which Wildstorm character made a cameo in season 1? (If not, I swear I will trawl through every single episode until I find them)
Greg responds...
1. No Spoilers.
2. No Spoilers.
3. I wouldn't think so.
4. Glorious, I suppose.
5. Not that I know of.

Hey Greg, I love Young Justice and I am so hyped for season 3! I've read all the tie-in comics and the second season prompted me to start reading Blue Beetle, Zatanna and Teen Titans.
What comics would you recommend reading in advance of season 3?
Greg responds...
Um... I'm too late on this one, huh? Sorry.
But if you're still waiting, I'd read the various iterations of The Outsiders, especially the original run by Mike W. Barr and Jim Aparo.
Marvelman writes...
1) Is Ms. Martian's telekinesis as extraordinarily powerful as her telepathy? Or is it just her telepathy that is unusually strong for a martian?
2) Is Grodd a more powerful telepath than Ms. Martian?
Greg responds...
1. Her telekinesis is average for a Martian. Her telepathy is unusually strong.
2. Jury's still out.

Most people who know me would say I'm book-smart, but not street smart. (I'm a little like Dustin on Stranger Things.) I have an unfortunate tendency to not be politically smart and blurt out exactly what I'm thinking. Sometimes it gets me into trouble.
How do you deal with that as someone working in the entertainment industry? What do you do, just for example,if someone asks you what you think about the current Spider-Man cartoon, and you happen to think that it sucks? What do you do if somebody asks you what executive producer John Doe is like, and you happen to think John is a jerk? Do you lie? Do you massage the truth? How do you do that? Can you give some examples? As someone who will probably always be socially inept, I'd love to know.
Teach me, oh wise one.:)
Greg responds...
Mostly, it's about (a) thinking before you speak and (b) utilizing common sense.
A lot depends on who's asking me. Do I know this person? Do I trust this person? What does this person do?
If it's a reporter, I'm going to be way more circumspect unless I'm confident I'm speaking off the record.
If I think a show (or Producer) sucks, I'm not likely to say that unless I know the person I'm talking to and trust that person not to spread it.
Some of this is political. I don't want to burn bridges; I have to work in this town, etc. But some of it is just being polite and considerate. I don't review other pop culture for a living, and I don't need or want to be a jerk, tearing down the hard work of other professionals just because it's not to my taste.
Having said that, keep in mind, I haven't always been "wise" about this stuff. I had a massive learning curve as early answers in ASK GREG will probably reveal.
Marvelman writes...
I don't know why you did not continue on as story editor on season 2 of Rebels, but I think it is unfortunate. The show would have been better with you on it. The animation is spectacular but I find the characters boring.
Greg responds...
Um... noted.
