If a character (like the Joker, for example) appears in the YJ comic book before he/she appears in the show, who designs him/her? The comic book artist or the show's character designers?
Greg responds...
It depends on (a) whether the character is already designed for the show (even if you guys haven't seen him or her yet), (b) the character's significance, (c) how much free-time our character designer Phil Bourassa has and (d) how tight the deadline is.
Joker was designed by Phil, for example. Psycho-Pirate (who is the main villain of the Free Comic Book Day issue) was designed in the basic style of the series by Mike Norton with input from myself, Brandon Vietti and Phil.

1. will we be seeing a lot of focus on Wally's development in this series of Young Justice, or will his 'time' be coming later? right now he's been coming off to me as the most immature of the cast and pretty self absorbed (like his bad treatment of M'gann, objectifying the girls etc.). I always liked that in the comics Wally got a lot of development on these things (and it's nice you didn't just do a rehash of JLU Wally), but of course it mostly started *after* he was Kid Flash, so I have no idea how that fits into your plans.
2. how much say do you guys have in the tie-in comics?
Greg responds...
1. We plan to develop ALL our lead characters (and many of our supporting characters too).
2. A lot. We're keeping in close contact with DC on issues 1-6 and the Free Comic Book Day issue, all of which are being written by Art & Franco. Issue #0 and issues #7 and forward are all being written by myself and YJ staff writer Kevin Hopps. (The preceding was of course available info from the archives, but I figured I'd answer again as it gave me another chance to promote the book.)

Hi Greg,
I've just watch the YJ episode "Denial" and I did enjoyed it. Thanks for letting Jeff Bennett reprise his role as Abra Kadabra from B:TB&TB onto YJ. Oh and Kent Nelson seriously does sound like Adam West even though he isn't voiced by him.
Greg responds...
Wow. Uh, I don't think Kent Nelson (i.e. Ed Asner) sounds ANYTHING at all like Adam West. But if that's what you hear...

since it has been said many times that Artemis is not an original character will there be any original characters on the show hero or villian who will have a big role in atleast one episode?
Greg responds...
Yes... depending on what qualifies as original. But not many.
Ceylan writes...
Hello Greg,
1)Why is Artemis' secret identity classified? Would it be too revealing if the viewer know her real name?
2)Is her real identity very obscure and not as known as the rest or did you and rest of the people working on the show have covered it up so perfectly that noone has figured out who she is yet?
Greg responds...
1. Her real name is Artemis Crock.
2. It was beyond obvious from day one, but often fans look for more complicated explanations.
A Gargoyles Fan writes...
First and foremost, I probably should've looked more carefully when asking the previous question, and I'm sorry for that.
I've checked around the archives, and taken a better look, and haven't found an answer for this.
Sevarius stated once that if a Gargoyle didn't go through stone sleep, they would have to eat several cows in order to get the energy they need. Demona doesn't go through stone sleep anymore, so how does she get the energy she needs for when she becomes a gargoyle once more?
Greg responds...
I'm not sure you're quoting Sevarius correctly, but in any case... magic compensates for Demona's lack of stone sleep.

1. Will Lex Luthor appear in young justice if so what will he be like for example would he be president?
2.Will Chris Kent from countdown arena appear in Young Justice cause this earth 16.
Greg responds...
1. "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT."
2. "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT." But, honestly no.

just read YJ #1. can't say i'm a fan of the character design for the "guest star" on the last page. who do we have to blame for that??
Greg responds...
Really, that's how you ask that question? You know just because it's the internet doesn't MANDATE that you HAVE to be rude. It's not like that's a rule or something. I mean think about who you are writing to. One of the creative leads on the show. How did you PICTURE me responding to that characterization. I get that you don't like it. I can even respect your desire to express that, but learn some manners, dude. GROW UP!!
You know I've been doing ASK GREG for over a decade now, and I've had obnoxious posters before on everything from Gargoyles to Spectacular Spider-Man, but I have to say the general rudeness level on Young Justice is just beyond the pale, these days. I don't want to over-generalize. Plenty of folk with manners, too, but the level of some of you is just making me want to stop. The question asking function is closed for now - not for this reason, but to allow me to catch up on the backlog while we're in reruns - but if this general level of rudeness continues when we reopen for questions, I may have to seriously consider changing the rules to this site.
Cuz I'm getting pretty tired of getting annoyed and cranky EVERY TIME I try to answer questions here. And, at this point, if some of you are TRYING to annoy me, cut it out, because (A) it's like shooting fish in a barrel and (B) you're going to ruin things for everyone else.
In any case, what you saw was Mike Norton's interpretation of a Phil Bourassa design. Both of which, I like, by the way. But if you want someone to blame, blame myself and Brandon Vietti, as no design goes through without our approval.

Dear Greg,
Love the newest episode of YJ! Very interesting combination of villains in there; Sensei, Cheshire, Black Spider (right?), and League Asassin Hook (again, right?). I also liked Speedy showing up as Red Arrow, very cool. And Artemis, ooh I like her already. She's a fun character so far and I can't wait to learn her backstory. Please keep up the awesome work.
Greg responds...
Thank you. We'll try.
And, yes, that was Sensei, Cheshire, Black Spider and Hook.

Hello,congratulations for Young Justice. I have two questions related with the "Infiltrator" episode:
1) Do the Young Justice members still go to missions with their mentors when they are not acting as a team? If not, what implications have exactly the fact that Artemis is the new Green Arrow's protegee? I ask it because Green Arrow remarks than he took Artemis because Roy wanted to act solo.
2) Why has Speedy/Green Arrow a member name and acces to the Zeta-tube? The numbers had to be given after the Cadmus incident (provided that Superboy is b04) and at this moment Speedy had made the decision of leaving the "group".
Greg responds...
1. "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT."
2. There was hope that Speedy would join, so he was authorized. Even fter he turned down membership, some still held out hope.
