Angel : After The Fall

1. jellymoff: I know you said that you would probably not be able to answer questions about Aftermath, but would you be able to give us any indication as to how the writing duties will be split up? I just hope that you are heavily involved!

Brian: Man, I don’t know.

2. Wyndam: Have you finished writing A:AtF Issue #16? Any official word on if the issue will be larger than normal?

Brian: I’m a few pages into 14. And I think, I THINK that we’re expanding the series to 17 issues, the last two released either a week or two weeks apart, to allow for the bigger story.

I think. I could be wrong.

3. iloveromy: Did you have an inspiration behind the She Who Shall Remain Nameless baddie in Spike #2? I know we just got to meet her and I’m sure she has a whole back story we don’t know about yet, but why a Glory-type baddie?

Oh I also want to mention something that really stuck out to me. The look on the dragon’s face when it sees that Spike isn’t going to help with the Street Fighter 2-Lightning-Guy. The sadness and desperation really translate in that panel. If in fact that was what you were going for. If not, forget I was ever here *Poof*

Brian: Non is her name (or at least part of it, it’s what people call her in the next two issues), and we learn a little more about her in the next two issues, but I didn’t want to take too much time away from the leads, so she’s a bit of a mystery.

Oh, and that look on Dragon’s face was in the script, executed to perfection by Franco! Thanks for liking!

4. angeliclestat: So the Burning man in Spike:AtF #2 - is it Angel? And if you cannot answer...will it be revealed in a future issue?

Brian: The identity of the dude in Wolfram & Hart’s HQ will absolutely be made clear, but I gotta say, I thought it was pretty clear who it was. In fact, I thought people would be annoyed Spike didn’t figure it out.

5. hitnrun017: Are the woman’s legs, from the issue 12 preview, a character from the show that we haven’t seen in After the Fall yet?

Brian: Spoilers!

6. NileQT87: Does Spike already know that Angel is human?

Brian: If Spike knows, he never told me. That bugger.

7. Emmie: Any funny anecdotes you can share involving the creation of After the Fall? Feel free to go on and on, long stories are fun.

Brian: The weirdest one was at San Diego Comic Con, when I was signing books. I’m gonna get some of the specifics wrong:

MAN COMES UP WITH MANY ISSUES.

ME: Should I personalize them?

MAN: No, just your name.

ME: Do you enjoy the series?

MAN: No, not really.

ME: So why do you want my signature?

MAN: E-bay.

ME: Oh. Okay. What don’t you like about the series?

MAN: (shrugs)

ME: I’m fine with you not liking it, but what can I change to make it more enjoyable.

MAN: Listen, I’m just trying to give you some constructive criticism.

ME: No, you’re not. I’m asking you for exactly that, but you’re not giving me any.

MAN: I don’t know, I just don’t get why we couldn’t see the alley way fight.

ME: So you don’t like the entire series, because we didn’t see the fight?

MAN: Yeah.

ME: But you kinda did, in FIRST NIGHT, and more will be revealed down the line, maybe.

MAN: I just don’t understand why I have to wait like 12 issues to find out.

ME: I didn’t say you did. But don’t you think the alley way fight would just be 22 pages of fighting? Is that interesting? Isn’t that any other comic?

MAN: I guess, yeah.

ME: So I win and you like the comic now?

MAN: No.

I signed them, he went on his way. My biggest regret is never getting his phone number.

8. kingofcretins: Brian, there’s been some discussion of whether or not Joss is going to be available to write the concluding arc of Buffy Season 8. Obviously, "After the Fall"-proper will be concluded by then. Will you, Mr. Lynch, serve if called?

Brian: Oh I think they can do better than me.

9. sla: we’ll see the Angel’s dragon again? (in Spike: After the fall)

Brian: Nope, not in SPIKE:ATF, but we will see him in the very next issue of ANGEL!

10. Wyndam: It sounds like the First Night HC will have many extras (like the issue 1-5 HC did), any plans to keep that going and have a bunch of extras in the 3rd HC?

Brian: I hope so, time permitting. The FIRST NIGHT ones are really cool, methinks.
