Hope it's not too late to ask a question.
The main characters that have died so far are Gwen,the dragon,Groo and Connor.What was the creative decision or thought process that went into killing each of these major characters that have died so far in the story and was there one that came most natural to the plotline?

Do you mind if I answer this once the series is done? I think giving away motivations is gonna shed too much light on stuff. Sorry. Ask another question, any question, my apologies.

Mind if I ask another? Has there ever been any things (whether it be plot, dialogue, ideas etc) that you and Joss have strongly disagreed on? ie. you were for it and he thought was a bad idea/not right, or vice versa? And also (yeah I'm greedy) was Joss involved at all with the basic ideas/plot for Spike:ATF. Just his name isn't on the credits for it like for Angel:ATF Cheers again (hmm, I keep asking Joss questions I notice

I will probably put my original series pitch in the last volume so you can see what he said "no" to. A lot of it remained, but a big chunk of it is different. This is another question that I can go into more detail on when the series is over. Ooooh! But I did want to reveal Angel as a human in issue one, at the exact same time that Gunn was revealed as a vampire. I thought cross-cutting those scenes would make for wonderful drama. As for SPIKE:ATF, I've said this before, but we went over Spike's situation early on, and originally it was going to just be told in a flashback or dialog.

No problem Here's another question then. What were your emotions during the exact moments you were writing Connor being stabbed and the final last words between Angel and Connor as Connor died?

No problem Here's another question then. What were your emotions during the exact moments you were writing Connor being stabbed and the final last words between Angel and Connor as Connor died? It was a mix of being very sad, because of what I was doing to characters I love, and pride because I thought it was coming out reeeeally well. I couldn't wait for you guys to read it, basically.

How is "The Sims Movie" script going? I think it's in another writer's hands. Big budget special effects movies often have more than one writer, here's hoping the final movie is good. I'm currently as in the dark as you are. Currently writing my second animated movie for Dreamworks, I love them.

Hey there. I was wondering what you're writing for Dreamworks? Just curious. PS. Connor's death made me cry... so congrats a comic book has never made me do that before. =]

Connor's death made me cry... so congrats a comic book has never made me do that before. =] I wrote the PUSS IN BOOTS movie for Dreamworks (SHREK spin-off) and I can't discuss the next one, it's new and under wraps, but it's wonderful. Still at the outline writing stage for that one. Sorry for making you cry, get more hankies ready!

Brian, after seeing George help Team Angel in issue 15, it made me wonder if my favorite, little, awesome fish was going to have a bit bigger role now than just 'Gunn's kidnapted, awesome fish.' xD Will George be crossing over into Aftermath with Team Angel?

Hey Brian Lynch, how have you been ? Would you like to see a 'Hight power/Ascended being' Connor, Fred, Cordelia and Wesley (if he dies for good...) in the final comic for After the fall? or do you think that you are done with these characters in After the fall? (not wes, because he is still around... do you have any say or have talked with Kelley Armstrong about anything that you would like to see happen in Angel: Aftermath?

I don't want to spoil the end of ANGEL:ATF to reveal whether or not George even makes it through, and I certainly don't want to spoil other writer's stories, so I will be mum on that. And I think George had a HUGE impact on AFTER THE FALL, no? For one thing, we learned all about Gunn through George, and if George wasn't there and able to help out, Angel's plan wouldn't have worked in issue 15. So in a way, George saved the day!

I'd like to see any story with these characters if it was done well. Would I like to write that specific story? No sir. I talked to Kelley for a little bit at San Diego Comic Con, and I emailed IDW a big mission statement on possible story directions and character beats if they wanted to use'em. That said, Kelley is quite capable on her own and she doesn't need me over her shoulder. Except literally, as I've taken to stalking her. She smells like peppermint!
