I was very wary of After The Fall as I was one of the few who loved the Angel season 5 ending and to be honest was not loving After The Fall that is until I had finished Firsrt Night, now I love it, I've never missed an issue and always get the two best covers. The HC for the TPB looks awesome. Anyhoo and please I hope you don't take offense to this but...now be honest how involved is Joss Whedon in After The Fall. Please be honest, now I love AfTER tHE fALL either way and it is the best ANgel comic I have read, I loved the Wes and Gwen story from First Night. You are doing a brilliant job I was just curious. Oh and Everybodys dead is good too, I passed it onto a friend who said he'll pick up the TPB (if there is one). Also what do you think of Dollhouse and Firefly/Serenity? Joss read SPIKE:ASYLUM. Joss was inspired to okay a canon ANGEL book. Joss told me what he always had planned, I told Joss my ideas, Joss sprinkled genius powder on my ideas, Joss gave notes. Thank you for your kind words about ATF and EVERYBODY'S DEAD (new issues of each tomorrow!), and I love FIREFLY and I'm sure DOLLHOUSE will rock.

After ATF ends, all comics will end. There will just be no point. As in Angel comics will end...or all comics in the universe will end because the end of the gloriousness of ATF will cause all comics to lay down and die from severe depression. All comics will end. Every one. Say your good-byes to Spider-Man now.

Was Spike After the Fall planned from the beginning of the series, or after it started and began selling well, and was it something you had to pitch to Joss as well? I guess what I am asking is just the basic history behind the creation of the spin off. SPIKE:ATF was not planned but Spike's story was. I thought it would be addressed via a flashback or conversation (a la Spider's speech in issue 4) but when ANGEL:ATF proved to be popular, IDW was all "got any ideas for a spin-off" and I was like "well I do kinda have two ideas" the first was Spike's and the second was doing a parallel story with Kate that launched out of FIRST NIGHT. I outlined them roughly, and found the Spike one more compelling (though I think Kate should have one eventually). I was worried about time (as writing comics is not my day job, it's a hobby that has kinda ballooned!) but when I wrote issue 1 of SPIKE:ATF I found it was much easier (as it's dealing with less characters) so I said I'd do it. I think these two series have aged me a few years but it's worth it. That said, I need a nap. I think Kate should have a comic series as well. She is very interesting, because of her personality.

I think Kate and Groo could be the REMINGTON STEEL of our time.

Will Fred play a main part in it after this issue? Nice try! I'm onto you! Looks like I'll have to wait. xD I hope Fred does come back, I miss her, and her and Wesley need to be together.

I think Kate and Groo could be the REMINGTON STEEL of our time. Those are my two favorite secondary characters. I agree.

Thank you for answering I may need to cnage my banner to WHEDON AND LYNCH FAN. Any offers to make one...anyone I don't know how to make them the one I have was made by another slayalive member. Brian Lynch is a mini god but Joss still rules all...then of course it's John McLane from Die Hard!!

Thanks for answering all those questions, Brian. Even the ones you shiftily avoided for being too spoilery

What's your favorite story arc from ANGEL?
Was Betta George cut for length from Issue 8 or some other reason - the lack of his bookend-iness made me wonder as he didn't close the First Night story?

How many issues will the series be now? I know it was extended past #12, so I've been guessing that it'll be 15 or 16. Is the issue count set in stone yet?

Um...
Is there anything going on with Spike and Illyria, cause we all saw them kissing on a Spike After the Fall issue cover.

Is there even a chance she could come back? Her insides were liquefied. How could she live? I hope this isn't spoiler-y.

Is there any plans to continue having an on going Angel comic series like dark horse used to have? Is there any chance of you writing a full issue of Buffy season 8 and Joss writing a full issue of After The Fall? It would be cool to see how you write other buffy verse characters. You have the Angel ones spot on but I'd love to see your way of writing Willow or Xander. If not in season 8 then maybe the season 9 if the rumours are true. Joss just said if the sales stay high...who knows so I'm hopeful. What did you think of Iron Man and The new Hulk if you have seen them? I loved them both but Hulk was just slightly more better on account of the fight scenes.

What's your favorite story arc from ANGEL? Darla's pregnant! Holtz is back! Angel's a dad! Wesley's talking to giant hamburgers! Holtz and the baby went WHERE? That whole arc. Holy crap. Best arc in television history, in my opinion.
