Oh, yeah, it's not exclusive to comics. But I think it happens a lot more. And it's not even characters you've created but also established characters/stories you've written. And then the next writer may step in and undo half your plot for all you know.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

You're welcome! I wonder whether he had any long-term plans for Klara or Hisako, for instance, and what he thinks of the characters presently. Does he bother conceiving a future for the characters beyond what he'll get to write? Because it's likely the next writer will have no idea what his thoughts were and take the character in a different direction.
And it's different from running a television series because even though different writers are writing your characters, you still get to supervise. Collaborative storytelling is stressful! If you're a control freak like me.
Be sure to come back and post a link to the interview!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I have no Joss questions. Only RIO!!!!! asscaps and exclamation points.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Rio!
I've missed you terribly.
I'll think up some questions.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Two questions:
1. As a fan of musicals and a director of action sequences, do you think an action sequence can serve the same function as a song in a musical? That is, can you choreograph the action to reveal character and advance the plot rather than just create the spectacle of somebody outrunning a fireball?
2. When you did the uncredited rewrite of "Lover's Walk" on Buffy you reportedly locked yourself in a hotel room with a stack of punk rock cassettes by Husker Du and The Replacements. What did you listen to when you wrote "Objects in Space" (Firefly) and "Epitaph" (Dollhouse)?

Does Joss consider blueberry an appropriate flavor for a bagel, or should it be reserved for muffins?
Also, when is he going to move on from feminism 101 to a more advanced class? Where mature women have agency, too?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I have a question for Joss:
What does he think of Fox's decision to air a new series which is being billed as a western...in space!
I'm not sure if he has been asked that question yet. I certainly haven't seen his reaction.
