I thought the developments for Oz in issue 27 was cool.How did Bay and Kelden come about?Was it more Joss's idea or Jane's?

Could you give us a description of the Retreat TPB cover? Or at least, what characters are on it?

Something of a curiosity question really: We know Robin's role in Anywhere But Here was expanded after Joss read the winning entry. My question is what would her role have been before? Just a quick cameo or....?

My question is Are we going to see more of the vengeance demon's this season? Does D'hoffryn Know, That Anya is dead or he still is sending demon's after her.

Will we be seeing Robin Wood again? He kind of disappeared after 'No Future For You.'

I've just sent the next batch of questions so anyone who's already asked a question may post again.

Is there a title selected yet for Brad Meltzer's arc and/or Joss's issue #31? (Not sure whether 31 will be a standalone or part of the arc.)

Sorry for a long question --
How bad have things gotten? It's been hard over the past few books to figure out just how bad things are for the Slayers. Like, are all of Buffy's people with them in Tibet now, the ones that are left? If so, how many is that, ball park? The book said they started with 500 or so, so are they down to, what, 50, 100, 200? And what about the others that aren't with Buffy? I guess if I was going to make it a single question it would be are Slayers already almost extinct in Season 8?

In "After these messages", Angel tells Buffy that you can't change a persons past. Are we to assume that Angel knows that statement to be a truth of the laws of the universe?

As far as you know, will the Scythe plot point come back into play? A big deal was made about it in the "Wolves at the Gate" arc, and the end of that arc pretty much sent us into the next arc, with Buffy going to NYC in hopes of learning something new about the Scythe. Since then, the Scythe has pretty much been forgotten, and I was wondering if anything else would happen with it, instead of it becoming another forgotten plot point. Unless the "vision Mickey" as Kennedy put it was just to lure Buffy to the future, and the Scythe was just a convenient way of luring her to the right place at the right time.

This is going to be a long winded way to get to my very simple question.
I don't know if you can answer this.It could very well fall under the,"sorry,no spoilers" category and if it does,I certainly understand if you can't answer without spoiling things.But I figure it can't hurt to ask.Some of this has been touched on before closer to the start of season 8 but lately there has been a lot of very interesting discussions going on in fandom about how much Buffy knows about the events of Angel season 5 and did Andrew's orders in Damage as well Andrew's,"No one in our camp trusts you"actually come directly from Buffy or could they of come from someone else like Giles without Buffy's full knowledge.The same question for whether Buffy knows that Giles refused to help Angel save Fred in Shells.It's not the first time Giles has gone behind Buffy's back.He even just did it again in season 8 during No Future For You with Faith.
So far Angel's three appearances in Buffy's dreams(issues,3,20,Always Darkest) have shown pretty fond views of Angel with no hints of distrust or malice.We know from issue 1 that Buffy was in fact unaware of the little detail of the significance of her decoy being with The Immortal.But Andrew sure did,finding it pretty funny, and neglected to mention that significance to Buffy.And finally Buffy's reaction to Andrew mentioning he met Angel in issue 23 seems intentionally vague.You can't tell what Buffy knows about Andrew's meetings with Angel or if she actually knew that Andrew had met Angel before.
So with this topic getting a lot of heat right now in fandom,will it ever be addressed at some point in the season 8 comics or season 9 about what Buffy knows or doesn't know in regards to Andrew/Giles and the way Angel was treated by them in Angel season 5 or is this a subject matter that won't be touched on ever?
Again,I realize anything related to Angel or Spike usually falls under the no spoilers category but I ask in the off chance you can say whether or not this specific matter has any hope of being addressed at some point.

In the Fray comics, there's the big talk about the battle that completely ends magic - and obviously that links heavily with what Twilight is trying to do. But Willow uses what magic she has left to show Fray something in the future, and in the Fray comics Harth uses relics left over from before the death of magic to help him summon a demon. If the sealing of magic event was to happen in Season 8 hypothetically, would you guys explain the specific rules around it cause it seems kind of confusing and not a 100% blackout?

"The fact that Warren took credit for something the First did when disguised as Warren? Yeah, there's a small way in which we're addressing that."
As glad as I am to hear that you are working to fix this problem, could I ask whether you're also going to address the issues that the error created with Andrew? He was shown to be well aware that the first was behind things in season 7, so it's also a problem that he seems to play along in #26. Sorry to grill you on this, but it's rare for fans to get a chance to help iron out continuity like this and I'd be so much happier to see this totally cleaned.

I see that Buffy is going to be on the front cover of an upcoming issue of Wizard Magazine. Is there going to be any other big media events for Brad Metzler's arc?

Ok, I'll be the begger then. When asked about the cover for the Retreat TPB you seemed sort of surprised that we haven't seen it yet. Any chance you could show us then? [/begging]

You made it clear that one book cannot completely hold all of Season Eight and the special features. So I got a suggestion. Do you think you guys can release a box to hold the collected volumes, so it resembles one big book?

Thanks for answering that last question from me.I wasn't sure how much you could say or not on that subject.My next question is simple but probably a little dumb.
Is Bay actually Oz's wife or are they just lovers/together and is Kelden a boy or a girl?It was hard for me to tell in the issue.
