Q&A has been updated with answers (still last 2 questions on deck) - but everyone whose question has been answered can post again! And also, I'm about to die laughing from Scott's answer for #14.

I asked this in Georges Jeanty's Q/A but I'm also interested in getting your prespective.What did you think was going to piss off fandom in this week's issue and have us getting the pitchforks out?There was nothing in issue 30 that I could see that would draw a very angry reaction from fandom.If it was the Buffy flying ending,I still don't see what would make the fandom pissed off?

I believe Joss mentioned something about having figured out a way to make a "Dollhouse" comic work. Is this something that's being considered yet? Does Joss's idea have anything to do with graphic novels instead of monthly issues?

Picked up the Sugarshock! book the other day and loved it - I caught the first eight pages on MDHP but hadn't read the rest. It was possibly one of the best one-shots I've ever read (and I believe this was the same week as an outstanding Punisher one-shot, so that's saying a lot). Does Joss have any other original ideas bouncing around that you'd like to see turned into comics? The Sugarshock! concept is truly inspired, and I'd be interested to see what else Joss could do in the MDHP/one-shot formats outside of the properties we already associate with him (Buffy, Firefly, etc).

Hi Scott. I have noticed that Season 8 seems to play a lot with the superhero genre we traditionnaly associates with comic-book. Examples: Xander "Nick Furry" Harris, Twilight superhero-y garb (mask, logo, "cape") and, now, Flying Buffy. Is this kind of hommage to the superhero genre just a coincidence, or was it voluntary?

When Twilight, Amy and Warren are watching the battle, Twilight says "That goddess almost killed them." But it's not until two panels later that this almost-killing happens. Was Twilight's comment supposed to be in response to the actual event, or did he actually say it before it happened? On several occasions, it seems like he's remembering things that haven't happened yet...

It's always interesting hearing the casts reaction to developments with the characters in season 8.I still get a kick out of Sarah Michelle Gellar's,Seth Green's,James Marster's and Nicholas Brendon's reactions at Paleyfest to the Buffy/Satsu hookup the week issue 12 came out.I thought their comments were priceless. Last weekend was the Hallowhedon convention and Nick Brendon gave a negative reaction to the Xander/Dawn hookup going on in season 8.and it seems some cast members like Tom Lenk and Juliet Landau have been keeping up with the comic based on various interviews.According to Georges Jeanty in a recent interview,Tom Lenk is such a big fan of the comic that he even reads his dialogue out loud as Andrew.Have you heard more recently various reactions from actors associated with the show about the latest developments in season 8 and do you find there reactions as fascinating as I seem to?For example,I was actually surprised Nick didn't care for the Xander/Dawn developments although his feelings sound like they miror some of fans concern that you've heard in these question and answers about the pairing.

Hi Scott. What is the status on the possible one-shots that you mentioned in an earlier Q&A session? The ones that would most likely fall between Brad Meltzer's and Joss' arc. Have they solidified, or are they still just (hopefully very possible) possibilities?

As I'm sure you know, many fans take passionate interest in the Scoobies' love lives, who likes whom, who's sleeping with whom, etc. The revelation in "Retreat" that not just one but both Summmers sisters are romantically interested in Xander at the same time, however, has thrown many fans who are (to put it mildly) deeply attached to Buffy's prior relationships with Angel or Spike for a loop, as well as those who simply want Buffy and Xander to remain platonic friends.
Many fans seem to take Buffy's relationships with Angel and Spike, along with her lack of romantic interest in Xander in previous seasons, as some sort of unspoken statement from Joss that there is simply No Way in Hell Buffy Would Ever be Attracted to Xander (then again, in the past many fans thought there was no way Buffy would sleep with another girl, or get involved with Spike, or get involved with anybody ever again after Angel, for whatever that's worth), and therefore this latest turn of events is either completely out of character for Buffy or proof that some external force is acting upon her. So my question is, is Buffy's apparent current state of mind/heart really her current state of mind/heart, is some external force at work here (besides the story), or is something else going on?

Okay guys! The Q&A has been updated. We still have the last two questions on deck, though, so we're going to make this the last round. So if you've got a question, post it here. Last chance!

Since the eighth season of Buffy is supposed to be around forty issues, do you have any idea of how long season nine will be, and how long we will have to wait after the last Season 8 issue for the first Season 9 issue to come out?

Nick and Sarah had asked Joss to pair Xander and Buffy up in S7, and he refused. What changed his mind now? And did he think about having Buffy fall for Xander in the planning of the season -before #1 hit the stores?

In the panel where we see some of Team Buffy (Giles, Willow, Dawn) getting hauled away, it seems like quite a few notable characters from the season and arc aren't visible. Was it just a case of not being able to fit everyone in the one panel, or should we be worried that some pretty recognizable characters might not have made it long enough to get captured?
