[ON-GOING]Q&A with Georges Jeanty Session 17

[zamolxis]

1) Speaking of prophetic/slayer dreams, in The Long Way Home Buffy dreamed of a dragon burning her, in the next arc she dreamed of the current green griffin and in After These Messages she dreams of a green dragon. What is the meaning of this changes in her nightmares?

2) Angel got his superpowers from Twilight. Why was Buffy "pushed" (chased) to get her superpowers if they came also from Twilight? Or Buffy's powers have a different source, the dead slayers as Willow thought or something completely different like the Seed - the glow in #34 was white - after the Seed is broken there's a white flash? (I thought that Buffy got her superpowers to fight against Angel, but instead she foolishly believed his sweet-talk and brought Twilight into existence. So instead of protecting the world she help destroying it)

3) Did the invading demons attacked only slayers (but why in Japan, France, random country castle, random sea when all they wanted was the Seed which was in Sunnydale) or did they attacked all over the world but Angel went to help only the slayers because Buffy told him so?

Hi! The panels of Giles' death were done really well.

Question: I'm assuming a large part of Angel's Season Nine journey will be about his redemption and living with his failings. So based on that and on your own understanding of Angel, do you think a significant part of it will/should be specifically about Giles since he was such an important figure in many people's lives? Or will he treat the destruction he has caused as a whole alongside everything else he has done over the years?

Do you know if his actual story for Season Nine has been planned already? If so, are there going to be hints about it in issue #40?

Hi Mr. Jeanty, you art was very dynamic in this issue. And I loved the close-ups pictures of your heroes.
1) I’m concern for Willow, she lost her magic and that was the essence of her life, she is devastated… I’m really sorry for her. Would she forgive to Buffy? Or maybe that self tragedy will turn her into the Dark Willow’s future version? I hope it won’t happen; I don’t want to lose another beloved character…
2) I really loved your Spike’s close up scene where he said “The Slayer. She did”. I loved his faith in Buffy, the proud and the love in his eyes because she did it. Why then Spike left to chase that V-monster instead of to help Buffy or to stick around for helping to the survivors? It’s a kind of pointless…
3) In his video interview Mr. Allie mentioned about a scene with Spike and Buffy. I know that’s a spoiler, but I’m eager to know is this scene a new beginning of Buffy/Spike relationship? Or it’s about something else?
I’d love to see more Buffy/Spike on Season 9, especially when her relationship with Angel is apparently out of picture.
Thank you! And have nice Christmas holidays!

Thanks for the questions. Shutting this down now and sending these off to Georges. I'll be going through the questions, and editing or discarding as I see fit.
