Will the success of the Supergirl movie increase the chances of DC ElseWorlds' #YoungJusticeSeason5?

Dear Greg,You have mentioned in the archives (like entries #10926 and #19672) that your map for The Spectacular Spider-Man included a 65-episode plan for high school, followed by college and adulthood via later seasons and DTVs.My question is: How far ahead did you actually map out the specific arcs beyond Season 5? Did you have concrete season outlines for a hypothetical "Season 6 and further," or did the planning at that stage exist just as a flexible checklist of future milestones (like Peter and MJ's wedding) and unintroduced villains?Thank you.

If a Monitor exists in the Earth-16 universe, and assuming they are an original character, are they male or female, and what is their name?

Any news of DC ElseWorlds' Young Justice's renewal status from James Gunn? Will he at least let you shop the series around to Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Peacock or Tubi or crowdfund season 5 on ritestream if HBO Max doesn't #RenewYoungJustice?

Happy July! Today marks the three-year anniversary since "Everywhere" hit the shelves (hopefully everywhere), and in the Comment Room, we were clearly eager that the first Dark Ages comic was only a week's wait away! Reading the archived room again, and I saw how even in 2023 I knew it was some time since we had that frequency in new canon (for the record, the two weeks that saw the trade paperback releases of Clan-Building, Volume Two and Bad Guys - Redemption back in 2009)!

Something I did forget from the week of the comic's release was that, digitally, a page was missing. I'm happy that hasn't been a frequent issue in the years since. And I know it's old news, but it's still awesome news: We've had years of comics now!!

Anyways, here's my initial thoughts from 2023:

Gotta love that all the details we have still isn't swaying our collective thoughts about Goliath's "savior" (as Demona put it). For me, I'm once more leaning towards Renard, because of Tobe Crest's own hesitation in considering Xanatos as a character witness, but I guess the proverbial jury is still out, lol.

As for why Crest hasn't met Goliath until this issue, I think the answer has already been established for these last few issues: Goliath's not the one paying the bills. It's not like Crest's a public defender duly appointed to Goliath by the court. [Craig also pointed out that given the unprecedented circumstances, Crest might not have been allowed at Rikers until he was recognized as Goliath's counsel in court.]

Spells: That last page of the Grimorum been teased for at least twenty-three years, if not more (I just can't find an older reference on AskGreg)! As for the languages, mortal magic can be any language, and we've seen other spells cast in Hebrew (or transliterated from ancient Egyptian), so I take the Gaelic as more of what Ed mentioned, as perhaps an indication of when it was written, closer to its time with the Archmage & Magus than when it was in the possession of the Roman Magus in A.D. 10.

Oh, and Ed, nice catch on the Eliza/Elisa bit; I missed that on my first read. That's definitely a longtime fan Easter egg to be sure (and still baffling, given that her name was spoken constantly in the original series.)

Dino: I'm worried his 'contingency' might be that this plot being thwarted confirms someone is working against him from within.

Title Puzzle: Another five letters could be "Brook", which could make some sense given his issues with depth perception.

Additional 2023 comments (from larger conversations I had with some of the other S8 regulars):

Craig: Hehe, I actually still don't think the GTF benefactor and Goliath's attorney-funder are necessarily the same person. But now that you mentioned it, wouldn't **that** be the twist? Xanatos and Renard in cahoots? lol.

At any event, I certainly appreciate that this fandom has folks that are keen to see these legal proceedings play out as realistically as possible given how unprecedented and fantastical they are. I'm curious if Greg Weisman occasionally picked the minds of friends like Tuppence Macintyre when the arc was being plotted out.

Fedora Matthew: As for the Three Keys, I do agree of the original three, the Phoenix Gate/Phoenix comes across as something beyond mortal or third race magic, akin to the Stone/Spirit of Destiny. So count me as someone especially curious to one day getting to witness what the Weird Sisters meant by the Gate being "forged" on Avalon.

Also, I know the line's been mentioned here earlier today, but you gotta love how, in her own way, Demona sees herself fitting into the King Arthur role for the Manhattan Clan. And just moments after dropping a line from Henry IV, Part 2 d:

Some additional thoughts in 2026 with three years of hindsight and twenty-five additional issues:

I can only imagine that Demona as Dominique must have been watching the news about Goliath's capture *all* day, be it at Nightstone or wherever she's been spending her business hours since "Hunter's Moon" (unless, of course, whenever Elisa shows up on the screen -- which is still funny).

Kambadais once again shows his double-page spreads with Demona's evening transformation.

First time I properly read the clock: 8:10 PM to midnight. With the events unfolding from "Underwater", that gives us potentially two calendar dates. Gonna double check that the GargWiki has that reflected. Like the Moon phases, I do appreciate these non-Timestamp timestamps when available!

Also caught for the first time Broadway echoiing Goliath with the cybots-level-of-pain threshold "That stings!"

Demona does show her knowledge of human pop culture in this issue, doesn't she? From Henry IV, Part 2 to the Wizard of Oz. At any rate, she's enjoying some serious schadenfreude.

It is fun to know how Slaughter refusing to ignore that he owes the gargoyles a favor does play out in the future. Then again, knowing now the chess game Demona's been playing, and she must have really appreciated knowing not only what Lex and Broadway were up to, but also Izaak as well.

'High Eight' is also still fun to read.

I like how this last Grimorum spell of Demona's is easier to work with when dealing with past events, instead of what's currently happening.

Now, Demona calls the Grimorum, Eye, and Gate the Three *original* Keys to Power, but after what's experienced in Quest, and seeing the Eye's previous incarnation in Better Angels, and I can't help but wonder just how many variations of the Three Keys there actually been in history.

But as a certain Weird Sister would say, "That's a story for another day."

Next time: Dark Ages #1!

Hello Greg Weisman, I'm a really big fan of your works and I'm not sure if it has been asked before but you've mentioned in the past that for Spectacular Spider-Man, you wanted to do DTV movies set in college, how many movies were actually planned ? would it have been a trilogy or more ?

Ok. elephant in the room (I guess? I cound't ferify by search)

First. non-main point. I asked maulti-part question, parts I rember being ifCoyote had mind of its own and if more mammalian looking gargoyles, such as one of London Clan also lay eggs and some I have forgotten. Anyway, I searched 'coyote london clan eggs' hopin to see if my aquestion was answered and.. that alone had 2298 records to match
and, sorry, I went "HOLY %&¤#%!" and really got tired real fast trying to search though these question for my own.

Now the main question. Do you sometimes feel sick/burnout for answering for same questions over and over? Also just for fun, do you remember if anyone else has asked thisor simmilar question before? searching up 'answer same question' and.... seeing there was 5680 records, I quickly got discouraged me from ferifying.

PS. Applesauce. Sorry, I looked up and there's not answered record with this word in it, so I shoud be able to find if this question has been aswered.
