So, about Complications (which was an AWESOME episode, by the way)...
1)How did Crusher and Jade manage to find the Manta-Flyer?
2)Sportsmaster calls Deathstroke by his first name: does this mean that they are old friends/old partners/old something?
3)Speaking of Deathstroke, can you confirm that his full name is Slade Wilson?
4)How old is Deathstroke?
5)(This isn't directly tied in with the episode, but hey, since I'm here) How many years ago Aquaman and Manta fought for the first time?
Greg responds...
1. Sportsmaster had contingencies in place before he risked any split with the Light.
2. "Friends" might be pushing it, but they've clearly worked together before. Just ask Ted Kord. (Ooh, sorry.)
3. Yes.
4. By the end of Season ONE, Deathstroke was 47.
5. I have not nailed down a specific year for that yet, but it was LONGER ago than the conception of Kaldur'ahm.
RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, BOOK TWO COUNTDOWN, Chapter Seventeen
RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, BOOK TWO COUNTDOWN, Chapter Seventeen:
Here's another of my shameless attempts to maintain buzz about my new novel, RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, due out in stores and on-line on December 3rd, 2013 (but available for pre-order NOW on Amazon, etc.):
http://www.amazon.com/Rain-Ghosts-Greg-Weisman/dp/1250029791
Since there's not much to report about the first book now, I'm counting down my progress writing the SECOND book in the Rain franchise, which should come out sometime in 2014.
I just finished writing Chapter Seventeen. I like the ending of this one too. It's cheeky.
Tomorrow, I'll start on Chapter Eighteen.

When Miss Martian was wearing the inhibitor collar on Black Manta's sub, why didn't she revert to her White Martian form?
Greg responds...
Her shape-changing abilities had been shut down by the collar. She was locked in to her current form.

In Young Justice issue 20, why didn't Dick Grayson want Bette Kane to see Artemis Crock and Wally West on his laptop?
Greg responds...
I think it was more he didn't want them seeing her. He's a gentleman.

Hello Mr. Greg Weisman,
"Complications" was an amazing episode. I guess SOME good news came out of it, after all…
My thoughts about "Complications":
A. Blue's Attempt At Lying and Nightwing's Private Investigation - So the Team members that went to Warworld were taken somewhere and Blue lied about the circumstances of what happened. I'm quite surprised that Arsenal wasn't pointed out as a potential suspect, given that he was the only one that managed to escape… Blue might have briefly fooled Nightwing, but luckily our favorite detective didn't completely buy into it. I'm glad he was able to quickly figure out what happened, but I hope he somehow manages to connect it to Green Beetle (who still hides his true intentions) … Also, the pissed-off expression he gave at the end of the episode was priceless….
B. Aqualad's Recovery - Now if it wasn't for the abrupt cancellation of the tie-in comic and the limited episode count, I would have REALLY liked to see how the recovery process of Aqualad's mind went down. Seriously, I did NOT expect Aqualad to already be recovered and to be in mental conversation with Miss Martian, but I'm guessing that he probably forgave her for what she did to him (given that this was not shown at all). Even though he is no longer the leader of the Team, he does his best to somehow coordinate a plan to keep his friends and himself. While I'm glad he's back in the game, it's sad he's still stuck doing his undercover assignment. Well…., it's better than being stuck in a catatonic state, right?
C. Too Many Close Calls! - Aqualad nearly gets himself killed trying to explain the truth to Chesire! Artemis nearly gets killed by her father! And then Miss Martin stops the madness in the nick of time. Then there's the thing with Deathstroke trying to catch Miss Martian again…. I practically lost count as to how many close calls there were!
D. Black Manta's Aggressive Behavior - So Manta's soldiers set a bomb on the door but he blows it up early with his men caught in the blast?! Is Manta normally like this with his soldiers?!
E. I Still Have A Bad Feeling - Now I know this was not mentioned in any way in this episode, but I am still concerned about Psimon. He was placed in a catatonic sate for weeks and the time it took to recover Aqualad's mind DID in fact took weeks. If Psimon recovers, it's bad news for Artemis and maybe for Aqualad as well. There is a contingency plan for this inevitability, right?
Thanks of taking the time to read my thoughts.

Greg responds...
B. I think Miss Martian and Aqualad's reveleation was shown. In the "Fix".
D. No. Not at all. But concern for his son trumped their well-being.
E. The contingency was called Tigress, who made sure Psimon STAYED catatonic until after "Summit".

1. How much power does doctor fate and klarion possese.
2. Could klarion take on the whole justice league by himself, not including doctor fate.
Greg responds...
1. Plenty o'
2. Sure. So could I. So could you. Don't know how well we'd all fare, but we could take 'em on!

Hello Mr. Greg Weisman,
I just read your ramble posting about John Wells, which was quite interesting. You said he was the one who provided research on the DC universe for you and all the other people who worked on the Young Justice TV series and comic books.
Research-wise, is the source material that he uses only comes from pre-"Flashpoint" DC Comics continuity, or does he also uses source material from The New 52 as well?
Thanks for taking the time to read this posting.
CGYJ
Greg responds...
As I've stated AD NAUSEUM, we were all DONE before New 52 started. So his research came from before that. But that wasn't a policy decision or any kind of value judgement. New 52 simply didn't exist yet. It's a function of schedules. (HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I SAID THIS?)

Why was Wentworth Miller replaced by Fred Tastaciore?
Greg responds...
Wentworth was no longer available to us, but Fred did a great job, don't you think?
Paul writes...
1a) Why did you use Cassie Sandsmark before Donna Troy when you made a point to use Dick Grayson before Tim Drake and Wally West before Bart Allen?
1b) Why haven't you at least acknowledged the existence of Donna (if she's around) this season like you did with Garth when Kaldur went back to Atlantis in season 1?
Greg responds...
1a. We had planned on introducing Troia as someone who joined AND left the Team during the five year break. But for reasons already stated here, it didn't work out.
1b. We had planned to. It didn't work out.

Was Queen Bee's design based off of Marina Sirtis? I see a slight resemblence.
Greg responds...
No. She was designed long before we cast the roll.
