1) I found it strange in #11 that Nina wouldn’t insist on accompanying Connor, Gwen, and Gunn to go rescue Angel (and Gunn). Was this a logistics decision (Nina just didn’t need to be around, or she was needed at the Hyperion, for story purposes of the next issue) or was there a specific thought/reason on your part as to why Nina didn’t want to go along?
2) Will Miss Armstrong be as awesome as you when it comes to interacting with the fans (not what I’d expect you to predict the future). I mean, over at the IDW board, you’ve personally interacted with me and probably everyone else on the board in a non-Q&A way, which is so rare. You probably have no way of answering my question about Miss Armstrong, but I just wanted to let you know how appreciated your fan interaction is.
3) Are there any specific novel authors (writers of novels) that have inspired your writings in ATF (or any of your other projects) or that you just plain old admire and want to recommend?
4) Will the L.A. in Hell thing be resolved completely in ATF (meaning, will things go back to “normal” for Aftermath) and will we find out who and what the outside world thinks they are interacting wit? I assume people outside of L.A. have been calling their moms who live in L.A. and are talking to someone, right?
5) I thought that Groo might play a larger role in ATF, but now I’m not so sure. Will he continue to be a double background character or will he ever come into the forefront of the series (either in ATF or beyond)?
6) I have to ask: I understand that IF that is indeed Fred that she is probably experiencing some shell shock, but to me, when she speaks, she seems very un-Fred-like. My theory is that “Fred” is just Illyria (or Illyria’s subconscious) saying what she thinks Fred might say. Anyway, is Fred’s unlike-Fred-speech on purpose or did I totally just insult your writing skills?
7) Crap. Was I only supposed to ask 1 question?

So are we ever going to learn the dragon's name or is it going to stick as a running gag of sorts? You'll learn it! This I swear!

What celebrity would you have to voice Beta George. I know you said we could imagine his voice and accent but what about you? Just wonderin'.

Angel wanted to protect Fred, so Nina was staying with her to carry that out.
2) Will Miss Armstrong be as awesome as you when it comes to interacting with the fans (not what I’d expect you to predict the future). I mean, over at the IDW board, you’ve personally interacted with me and probably everyone else on the board in a non-Q&A way, which is so rare.

No idea, sorry. I hope so!
3) Are there any specific novel authors (writers of novels) that have inspired your writings in ATF (or any of your other projects) or that you just plain old admire and want to recommend?
Hmmmmmmm. Geoff Johns work in comics is a huge inspiration, lately.
4) Will the L.A. in Hell thing be resolved completely in ATF (meaning, will things go back to “normal” for Aftermath) and will we find out who and what the outside world thinks they are interacting wit? I assume people outside of L.A. have been calling their moms who live in L.A. and are talking to someone, right?
That would be telling.
5) I thought that Groo might play a larger role in ATF, but now I’m not so sure. Will he continue to be a double background character or will he ever come into the forefront of the series (either in ATF or beyond)?
He's back briefly but awesomely in issue 14. And if I come back to the Whedonverse, Groo comes back to the Whedonverse, it's that simple. I love him. Plus, who knows, maybe Kelley will use him. Fingers crossed!
6) I have to ask: I understand that IF that is indeed Fred that she is probably experiencing some shell shock, but to me, when she speaks, she seems very un-Fred-like. My theory is that “Fred” is just Illyria (or Illyria’s subconscious) saying what she thinks Fred might say. Anyway, is Fred’s unlike-Fred-speech on purpose or did I totally just insult your writing skills?
Stay tuned!
7) Crap. Was I only supposed to ask 1 question?
Nah.

I have always wondered this so just wondering...as an author and all-around creative person, does it bug you how considered we (the fans) are about canon and Joss's involvement in these and future Angel installments? I'm always wondering if our constant questions about that storta stuff is rude (like how we all freaked out when Aftermath was announced) Questions about Joss' involvement don't bother me, on account of if I wasn't working on it, I'd want to know too. That said, if I bought the book and loved it and I would love it no matter who was involved. For instance, Stan Lee created HULK, but has anyone read Greg Pak's work with the character? PLANET HULK is crazy amazing. As long as the stories are good, I'm in. "Canon talk" is something that confuses me to this day. A great story is a great story is a great story.

Brian, Just wondering how aware Fred is of Illyria (she knows about the whole Illyria situation right?). Is Fred conscious when Illyrian is "in control" and vica verca? Or is she mostly "asleep" and gets triggered into consciousness when she sees a familar face like Gunn and Wes?
Also, would the First Evil be able to assume Fred's form because she was "dead"?

The first part of the question is a spoiler, no? No matter how I answer. The second question, sure, I guess the First could, am I right?

Since you're still at it, Brian, I'll keep asking And, I'll ask two, just cuz I feel like it 1. If Nick Runge, Franco, Stephen Mooney, and everyone else who has worked on "After the Fall" won the Powerball and told you and your mere comic project to take a hike, what are the top three dream artists you'd like to see pencil "After the Fall"? 2. Did you have any ideas for "After the Fall" that Joss just plain nixed when you and he started forming the plot? Care to share?

Do you have a favourite episode of Angel? From the podcasts: Brian Lynch: Next question, "Favourite televised Angel episode?" I love the last episode, but I always go back to Waiting in the Wings, it's one of my favourites, 'cause everybody got something cool to do and it really advanced the story. I thought the Angel and Cordelia stuff was great. 1. If Nick Runge, Franco, Stephen Mooney, and everyone else who has worked on "After the Fall" won the Powerball and told you and your mere comic project to take a hike, what are the top three dream artists you'd like to see pencil "After the Fall"? And again: Brian Lynch: Okay, next question, "Who's your dream artist for Angel: After the Fall?" I've worked with him already. I love Runge's stuff, too. I love Franco... I don't think I'd be doing it if not for Franco, so he's just the best, but Nick Runge, who's doing a couple of issues -- he's done 9 and 10 and he did the Wesley story for First Night -- he's amazing. In terms of artists that I haven't got to work with yet, I would say that Kevin McGuire who did the old Justice League, I love him, Art Adams is always my dream -- to work with him... Was that good? I hope that was a good answer. Just in case it'll save Brian some time.

Something I just noticed and was going to ask the gen pop about, but as I see you're Q&A is still going I'll ask here!
I've been going back over the issues and I just noticed that Urru is listed on the covers for 6&7, First Night parts 1&2, but I can't see that he contributed in any way to this issues - he didn't do a cover and he's not credited for any art work either...Was Urru listed on the cover by mistake? Or is there another, not so apparent, reason?
Thanks, and thanks for taking the time to Q&A (so often!), always v. interesting.

Kevin Magiure (JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL), Art Adams (LONGSHOT) and Ethan Van Schriver (GREEN LANTERN). Oh, and Gabe Rodriguez (GREAT AND SECRET SHOW). 2. YES! And I can't tell right now, because someday I may use'em. Sorry!

1. The extras in After the fall director's cut, can they be found in the first hardcover for After the fall?
2. Angel is quite the racist, and I wonder if that will ever be dealt with. I know that you guys don't have that many issues left, and individual character development has to partially take the backseat, but ever since Angel killed that demon-slave in Not Fade Away, I've started to loathe Angel. I could accept Angel's general discrimination against demons, proven evil or not, but when he killed Sebassis' slave, a part of me died. He tortured Merl, killed evil demons and let evil humans live, but killing an potential innocent? Perhaps Angel knew the slave was evil(as in doing evil, not being evil just by being born a demon), and perhaps the demons he drove over in the beginning of After the fall were evil too, but I doubt it, because Angel still seems to a have a problem understanding that you can't judge a book by its cover. But hopefully the demons Angel killed were all dangerous and mean. Either way, I hope you guys will have time to adress this, even if it's just a random character calling Angel a bigot in one frame.
Thanks for doing this, and I won't be cranky if you don't answer the second one.

Brian do you think that Buffy was right to turn all the potentials into full slayers? Some people think that she is just as bad as the Shadowmen who forced the power onto the first slayer, although this time it seems worse as she turned over 1500 slayers. What is your take on this?

Hi, Brian!
just for curiosity, Do you think Buffy or someone in Season 8, knows about Angel being human again? maybe Willow?
