Ha, Patxshand just sent me another message. He's stuck at work but would like to ask:
"If it's true that A.) Franco is coming back for #15 and #16? And B.) the series is now 17 issues long?"

Hello Brian
I have a question for you about after the fall, How the slayers arrived to L.A and most important, if beta georges didn't have a mental control over them, why the slayers didn't killed the army of gunn?

What is a dream Buffyverse project you have in your head? Some fantastic notion that didn't fit in the ATF landscape, but you have imagined happening. Honestly, I'm not thinking of any BUFFYVERSE ideas other than ATF. I want to do the best job possible, and end better than we started.

Have you had any trouble figuring out how to balance Fred and Illyria, since they are essentially a two-for-one type of character (two characters in one body)? This goes for both Angel: After the Fall and Spike: After the Fall. Any scenes where you wanted Illyria there, but absolutely had to have Fred (the scene in issue #11 where Fred sees Gunn comes to mind)? And vice-versa. I guess this question also applies to Wesley as well, since he has a strong relationship with both characters. Hope this makes sense, I just spent 3 hours in class and my brain is all conjunctified (did I make up a word there?). It all worked out as planned. I love the Fred/Illyria of it all, it's fun to play with both. Wait until you see issues 3 and 4 or SPIKE:ATF for maximum Fred/Illyria goodness!

I always wondered why Angel started drinking coffee in the first season of Angel. Does he still drink coffee? Is there even coffee in hell?

Gwen: you're kinda there, kinda sorta! One of those theories is warm. I am are smart, I when to kollej. Not... especially, no. Hey, you asked I'll endure as long as it doesn't suck, though, and you're pretty good at the not sucking Round 3 for me! What do you think is the biggest creative advantage to writing an "Angel" comic in the context of Hell-A over if you were telling a story in the "normal" LA? Every hero is more to write when their back is to the wall and the situation is dire. It doesn't get more dire than hell! Plus, the visual aspect of it makes for good comic booking.

Not sure I get your question. LA had few girls with slayer abilities before the fall. And they attacked George first as he could get into their heads and that is a bigger threat than 1 vampire.

Do you have plans to create new main characters for the comics ( ATF or Aftermath ), or to bring more old ones like you did with Nina and Gwen??

New main characters for ATF, we're kinda far into it to introduce a new lead character. That said, some surprises on the way!
New main characters for AFTERMATH, that's Kelley's call.

Thanks for doing this again!
Seeing the future in those time-slips earlier in ATF was cool and interesting, any chance we will ever see future Angel and future Spike again?

BUFFY biggest surprise: hmmmmmmm, probably Warren's return? ANGEL biggest surprise: of joss' ideas, probably the fact that Angel befriended the Dragon?

Hey! Managed to sneak out of work :]
Thanks for answering my questions man. Seeing as I'm greedy, hereeeee's another.
"Angel" is a very emotional show, and the comic definitely continues that. At any time, during scripting the issues, did you ever become misty eyed? (PS: It's the very subtle scene in #4 where Ghost Welsey first comes to Angel and lets him know that Gunn is dead that really gets me).
And uno mas? So far, you've told us there are some awesome extras in the FIRST NIGHT hardcover, and that one of them would be a "Groosablog." Is there any more info about the extras that you can give?

Holy crap, it's weird you asked that, because I was writing some Gunn dialog recently and it made me really sad. He's slowly becoming one of my favorite characters. Just so pathetic but at the same time admirable because he's still trying to be a hero, even though his instincts are waaay screwed. Anyway, Gunn has a few moments coming up that are crazy sad. They weren't hard to write, in fact, they were a joy to put onto paper because it came so easily, but man, yes, I got kinda emotional writing it. Oh, and Connor has a moment in issue 13 that got me all sorts of emotional, too. Basically the next batch of issues are one big emotional release. Hmmmmm, let's see. The Groosablog might be the funniest ANGEL related thing I've ever written. Certainly one of the most fun. The other extras are very informative, I hope people find them interesting.

Just out of curiousity, has anyone ever picked up the novel license for Angel yet? I know IDW has the comic one (obviously, lol) but I never knew about the others. Darn you Fox for dropping it so I can't write my book! PS; Awesome job on After the Fall, it wouldn't be the same without you.
