Hey Scott! This one is about the potentials. Will we get to know more about Satsu's, Rowena's, and Leah's (Is it pronounced LEE-uh or LAY-uh?) intentions and past lives? It seems right from the start that those three were Buffy's favorites since they are the most featured potentials.... whereas the rest basically served as background art. I just love how well original Season Eight characters are starting to become favorites. It makes me wonder if we'll get to learn any of the potential's surnames. Also, we know that Renee's part in Season Eight is pretty much done (for now anyways *wink*), but will she ever be significantly referenced again?

Hey Scott! This question was never asked, I don't think. But any plans for bringing Tara back? *cough* read his answer to #8 *cough* No toast for us now. Hey Scott! Can't really think of smart-complex question, so I'll choose an easy one: What's your favorite moment in "After These Messages..."?

Guys... stopping asking dumb questions like that. Phil said that Scott would answer as long as the questions are fruitful. Don't ruin it for the rest of us.
EDIT: Okay, so Emmie said that. Still, it came from a mod.

Putting my foot down here. Please only address serious questions to Scott Allie. That's not to say that the results cannot be humorous, but refrain from ridiculous questions for the sake of being ridiculous. Thank you.

Are you able to give us the names of any further issues, any at all? IF THIS IS TO SPOLIERY THEN: Is there one thing in Buffy season 8 that you or Joss regret doing. For example Mech Dawn, Faries, Talking army trees, Lack of Giles...anything at all. Just curious, if not any regrets what did you doubt in the season so far? Thanks in advance.

Thanx for the answer... Oz+new characters... cool
So, another one...
At some point in this season and maybe the 9th, are we going to know what happened to some characters between s7 and s8, if not everything at least some things that are to the fans... like why Faith is in Cleveland or Kennedy's death??

Most recent batch of questions have been sent along, so we should be getting those answers later on this evening. Hey Scott! This question was never asked, I don't think. But any plans for bringing Tara back? Hey Scott =] Can I be in the next Buffy Issue?......Thanks Tms and Benny, if you want to submit another question (with more care) you can. Neither of yours have been included in what will be answered by Allie.

I've got one, if I'm not too late: Scott, knowing that there are probably many fans of the TV series reading S8 who are not normally comic-book buyers, have you done anything different editorially with that in mind, to make it more accessible to the relative comic newbies (like me)? As for example, I know from other series I've read in the past that it can sometimes take a moment to figure out what order to read the panels/dialogue balloons in, so has it been a conscious thing to try to keep the layout of those straightforward in this series?

Ooooooh! I love little spoilers like issue titles! Yippy! Thanks Scott!!
His answers, while not spoilerific, do not actually dodge answers. I mean we -will- know more on Faith, Kennedy's "death", and Giles. For me, that is all I ultimately want to know till the issue is in my hands.
But I think it's fun to know upcoming titles, as well as vague plot points that may/may not be coming. It helps us speculate and stuff. And we know that Faith and Giles aren't forgotten, etc. It's great.

Yeah, El Diablo, the Q&A is still open. People feel free to submit more questions. Question: Scott, can you give us any idea where the present time framing story of #20 was set? Is that a new headquarters location for Buffy & co?

Scott, this is kind of a marketing question (it's a way for me to maybe asks two questions in one). Do you know if Dark Horse will ever make their back issues available for download? Also as far as using the Buffy license in unique ways, have you guys thought about animating your issues the way Marvel did with Astonishing X-Men #1?

Last time we've seen Riley in S6, he had a scar on his face. In #19, the scar was missing. Was he healed or it was forgotten by Jeanty?

Thanks for the issue titles Scott (v. exciting, will prompt much rampant speculation I'm sure). Carry on along those lines, do we have an arc title for issues 21-25 yet? Thanks!

Hey Scott well I was gonna ask where Buffy and company are now but Emmie just asked it so I'll change mine. Who's living with Buffy in that mansion shown in issue 20? Is it just Buffy, Xander, Willow, and Dawn for now (cause that would be sweet)? Or are there some slayers?

Scott,
My question is about the origin of Twilight's symbol. I'm not asking about what it means or why it is important in the comic, but really who thought of the design? Was it something Joss first sketched, or maybe Jeanty when he was drawing the first issue? We have seen Twilight's symbol quite a few times in Season 8, so I was just curious about its history.
Thanks again for doing another Q&A!

Or #24, whichever way you look at it. There's a thread up for it in the S8 boards. Please use this thread to address your questions to Scott, not for general queries. Thanks.

Thanks for answering my previous question. Great titles for the issues and it always gives us more to discuss. Anhoo... Are you and Joss aware that the Buffy Animated Pilot was put up onto the internet? How did it get there, was it Joss or someone at FOX who did it? It just got me wondering as I was reading issue 20 and noticed some similarties.
