Live Chat with J. Torres [Transcript]




To celebrate TTG's third year of success, TitansGo.net also held a live chat with the comic's writer, J. Torres. Maybe questions were asked and some glimpses of the future shared. This is the full chatlog if you're really interested in how things went down. If you're just interested in the summary, you can read it here.

The chatlog has been formatted in the usual colors, except that everybody who was not on the TGN-Staff and wasn't J. Torres has a white color. Enjoy the long read!

[7:35pm] <ToboeLoneWolf> Hey, Butch gets to go first.

* Forau sets mode: +m

[7:36pm] <!Butch> I'm the coolest, so i go first :D
[7:36pm] <!K> We're muting the room now
[7:36pm] <!Forau> Everybody, the chat is currently muted for everbody without a symbol in front of their username.
[7:36pm] <!Forau> We will be giving you a voice so you can ask your question.
[7:36pm] <!Forau> Or questions.
[7:36pm] <!Forau> We do this so that J. can reply in peace to the questions, and his answer doesn't get lost in the jumble of other talk.
[7:37pm] <!Forau> I now give the floor to Butch and J.
[7:37pm] <!Butch> okay guys, the Q & A session will now begin
[7:37pm] <!Butch> here's how it will work: i'll start off with one prepared question, then give the floor to a fan question as posted on the forums
[7:37pm] <!Butch> prepared question, fan question, prepared, fan, etc
[7:37pm] <!Butch> in that order
[7:38pm] <!Butch> alright J, here's your first: How'd you get your start in the comic writing business?
[7:38pm] <@JTorres> Actually, while I was still in college I was writing up pitches and proposals and sending them different comic companies...
[7:38pm] <@JTorres> ...to no avail.
[7:39pm] <@JTorres> Most didn't even respond, while others would say "not accepting submissions at this time" or "try us at a later time" - which generally meant, "when you've got more experience."
[7:40pm] <@JTorres> Then one day a friend of mine suggested I collaborate with a mutual friend who was an artist.
[7:40pm] <@JTorres> We started talking and I told him an idea for a comic I had.
[7:40pm] <@JTorres> It was a semi-autobiographical thing called "The Copybook Tales."
[7:41pm] <@JTorres> It was about this wannabe comic book writer who grew up in the 80s and was making his way in the real post-college world in the 90s.
[7:41pm] <@JTorres> We made a minicomic out of that. Basically, that means a handmade, photocopied and stapled number, like a zine.
[7:41pm] <@JTorres> We did about six of those, sent them around to different publishers, sold them online and at cons...
[7:42pm] <@JTorres> Eventually, a publisher in San Jose, CA - SLG Publishing - gave us a call and offered to publish "Copybook" as a "real" comic.
[7:43pm] <@JTorres> From there, the artist and I did six issue of that series, moved on to a miniseries for Image called "Siren", then I did some work for Marvel... and here we are ten years later.
[7:43pm] <@JTorres> ###

[7:43pm] <@JTorres> ### = me shut up now :)

[7:43pm] <!Butch> SLG, sweet. you keep good peoples
[7:43pm] <!Butch> ok, well I don't see Forlong in here right now
[7:44pm] <!Butch> so I'll ask the posted question for him (her?)
[7:44pm] <!Butch> from Forlong: Will there be an issue that focuses on the relationship two Titans have with eachother, like the episodes Forces of Nature and Nevermore?
[7:44pm] <@JTorres> Well, the only thing I have planned right now along those terms is a short story with Robin and Bushido.
[7:45pm] <@JTorres> I'm trying to remember what else in a similar vein we've got going but...
[7:45pm] <@JTorres> ...I'm drawing a blank right now.
[7:45pm] <@JTorres> ###

[7:46pm] <@JTorres> Oh!
[7:46pm] <@JTorres> Wait...
[7:46pm] <@JTorres> But... do I want to spoil this?
[7:46pm] <!Forau> Sure you do ;)
[7:46pm] <@JTorres> Um... Cyborg and Sarah.
[7:46pm] <@JTorres> There.
[7:46pm] <@JTorres> ###

[7:46pm] <!Butch> i wonder if we should un-mute, so the sirens can sound...just for a few seconds? :)

* Forau sets mode: -m

[7:46pm] <ToboeLoneWolf> =D
[7:46pm] <%Nat> Oh God, what have you done.
[7:46pm] <!Butch> i'll leave that up to F
[7:46pm] <!Forau> Everybody can scream for a moment now :P
[7:46pm] <Nevermore> YES~!!!
[7:46pm] <InsanityManifest> w00t
[7:46pm] <The_Portal> Oh ho ho ho.
[7:46pm] <Razorsaw> DUN DUN DUN!
[7:46pm] <Java3638> haha
[7:47pm] <Fiy> YAHOO!
[7:47pm] <Razorsaw> *dramatic chord*
[7:47pm] <Headbanger15> can WE ask questions?
[7:47pm] <Nevermore> I was so sad afta issue 27
[7:47pm] <Evils-Fire> Hoho
* Java3638 is now known as newname
[7:47pm] <newname> whoops
[7:47pm] <terrafan05> wow...bombshell...that's toof unny

* Forau sets mode: +m

[7:47pm] <!Butch> btw, guys. we want to be fair to those who posted their questions on the forums first
[7:47pm] <!Forau> Back to Butch.
[7:47pm] <!Butch> especially since most of them can't be here tonight
[7:47pm] <@JTorres> So, people are cool with Cyborg and Sarah?
[7:47pm] <!Butch> unmute, F?

* Forau sets mode: -m

[7:48pm] <SamRH> YES
[7:48pm] <Nevermore> I like it.
[7:48pm] <combatchic> yeah
* newname is now known as LadyHood
[7:48pm] <Aurora> Yes!!!
[7:48pm] <Headbanger15> Sure Cyborg needs a couple
[7:48pm] <terrafan05> can't wait to read up!
[7:48pm] <TTF> Not really... bet they're okay
[7:48pm] <Evils-Fire> Yeah, that'd be cool
[7:48pm] <@JTorres> I like them together. It makes sense that some of the Titans date non-heroes, no?
[7:48pm] <Nevermore> Could spice it up a bit
[7:48pm] <LadyHood> =)
[7:48pm] <terrafan05> goona be good
[7:48pm] <Nevermore> Yeah
[7:48pm] <Evils-Fire> I think it makes more sense
[7:48pm] <Razorsaw> Its neat, ja.
[7:48pm] <SamRH> I think it's hawt
[7:48pm] <JinxFanForever> *nods*
[7:48pm] <Nevermore> Samarai will be happy
[7:48pm] <terrafan05> about time! lol
[7:48pm] <Psy> Good Idea.
[7:48pm] <Nevermore> He wants Cy to have athing
[7:48pm] <ToboeLoneWolf> He likes Jinx better.
[7:48pm] <Java6298> Finally
[7:48pm] <!Butch> J, just let us know when you're ready for the next
[7:48pm] <Selofain> i like
[7:48pm] <Java6298> ah, gahd
[7:48pm] <Java6298> second
[7:48pm] <dmolla> she is something of a recurring civilian character, so I think it will be cool
[7:48pm] <@JTorres> Ready!

* Forau sets mode: +m

[7:48pm] <!Butch> F is getting good at this :P
<!Forau> :D
[7:49pm] <@JTorres> Ha-ha!
[7:49pm] <!Butch> ok, next one...
[7:49pm] <!Butch> J, do you have any advice for fans who want to write for comics or animation?
[7:49pm] <@JTorres> It's like a teacher shusing a class.
[7:49pm] <!Butch> quiet, children! ;)
[7:49pm] <@JTorres> Okay, if you are a writer wanting to get into comics the best piece of advice I can give you is...
[7:49pm] <@JTorres> ...hook up with an artist.
[7:50pm] <@JTorres> I mean that creatively! Not sexually :)
[7:50pm] <@JTorres> The reason being is that very few to no editors/publishers read script or pitches, especially if you're new and inexperienced.
[7:50pm] <@JTorres> But they will read minicomics, webcomics, homemade comics if you will. And that can showcase what you can do.
[7:51pm] <@JTorres> The only other way to break in then is either by knowing someone on the inside or making a name for yourself as a writer in another industry.
[7:51pm] <@JTorres> ###

[7:51pm] <!Butch> awesome advice
[7:52pm] <@JTorres> It's true, too.
[7:52pm] <!Forau> As a side-question: does it matter which "other industry" or is there a preference?
[7:52pm] <@JTorres> A lot of new writers are discouraged by this but it really is true.
[7:52pm] <@JTorres> Not really. For example, Adam Beechen is from animation and is now writing the JLU comic and Robin.
[7:53pm] <@JTorres> Brad Metzer is a novelist.
[7:53pm] <@JTorres> Alan Heinberg works in film.
[7:53pm] <@JTorres> I think it's just a question of being good and... knowing someone.
[7:53pm] <@JTorres> ###

[7:54pm] <!Butch> alright, we'll continue with Forlong's 2nd and last question
[7:54pm] <!Butch> who apparently is having trouble getting in... :(
[7:54pm] <!Butch> so here's to him
[7:54pm] <@JTorres> Been there, done that :)
[7:54pm] <!Butch> heheh
[7:54pm] <!Butch> from Forlong: Will Raven be having any kind of romantic type of relationship in general? At this point, I'd be satisfied seeing her with almost anyone.
[7:54pm] <@JTorres> Everybody go get something sugary or salty to stay awake!
[7:55pm] <@JTorres> Raven...
[7:55pm] <!Butch> lol
[7:55pm] <@JTorres> Oh, my dear Raven...
[7:55pm] <@JTorres> People will hate me for saying this but...
[7:55pm] <@JTorres> ...I like her "alone."
[7:55pm] <@JTorres> BUT
[7:55pm] <@JTorres> (before you throw stones)
[7:55pm] <@JTorres> Let's say that...
[7:55pm] <@JTorres> ...I send her on some dates in upcoming issues.
[7:56pm] <@JTorres> So, she's "dating" but no one exclusively like Robin/Starfire, you know?
[7:56pm] <!Butch> right now, i bet you're glad this room is muted :)
[7:56pm] <@JTorres> Huh. Maybe SamRH didn't like that answer :)
[7:56pm] <@JTorres> Give them thirty seconds to react, Forau. This should be fun...

[7:57pm] <evil> YES!
[7:57pm] <Liobit> I like Raven better alone as well. It fits her better.
[7:57pm] <evil> THANK YOU!
[7:57pm] <+Acastus> Sounds like a lot of fun, J :)

[7:57pm] <Razorsaw> eh, that's a respectable way of doing it.
[7:57pm] <Selofain> it fits her character

* Forau sets mode: +m

[7:58pm] <@JTorres> See! Fun!
[7:58pm] <!Butch> wow, more positive than i thought
[7:58pm] <!Forau> Indeed :D
[7:58pm] <!Butch> J must have higher sensory powers than mortal beings
[7:58pm] <!Forau> I expected people to go crazy for Raven being forced together with somebody (Goth Boy)?
[7:58pm] <@JTorres> Can I respond to something?
[7:58pm] <!Forau> J: of course.
[7:58pm] <@JTorres> K wrote something about the digests.
[7:58pm] <@JTorres> I heard some sad news about that this week.
[7:58pm] <!K> no more? :(
[7:59pm] <@JTorres> Apparently, there was two Batman Strikes digests that were supposed to be out this month...
[7:59pm] <@JTorres> ...but low sales forced DC to cancel them :(
[7:59pm] <!Butch> uh oh..
[7:59pm] <@JTorres> When I asked my editor what that meant for us (and other Johnny DC books) he asked his superiors and was told...
[7:59pm] <!Butch> is this affecting orders for the single issues?
[7:59pm] <@JTorres> ...that they're "re-thinking" the digest program.
[8:00pm] <!K> That sucks
[8:00pm] <!Butch> i thought TTG was doing very well?
[8:00pm] <!Forau> That just doesn't sound good.
[8:00pm] <!K> Would they rethink if the digests began selling better?
[8:00pm] <@JTorres> Now, this doesn't mean they're gone. They could do more. OR they might try a different format, e.g. regular size trades like all the other DC books.
[8:00pm] <!Butch> every store i buy comics at, they seem to sell fast
[8:00pm] <!K> Both runs of TT sell really fast here, as well (single issues, though, I don't know if our new store sells digests)
[8:01pm] <@JTorres> BUT if you're one of those readers who wait for the digest... you might want to reconsider picking up the singles from #21 on just in case, you know?
[8:01pm] <!Butch> the latter would be cool if it happens. but more support always helps i'm sure
[8:01pm] <%Nat> When you say "poor sales", do you mean poor sales of other digests or poor sales of single issues of the comic itself?
[8:01pm] <!Butch> that's odd, because i know DC likes to play to the trade paperback market
[8:01pm] <@JTorres> I meant sales on those particular Batman Strikes digests.
[8:01pm] <@JTorres> Yeah, Butch, that's why I'm saying "maybe" on all of this.
[8:01pm] <!Butch> here's hoping for the best
[8:02pm] <@JTorres> I believe TTG is their bestselling Johnny DC title, including in digest form.
[8:02pm] <@JTorres> So, maybe we'll keep going the way we are, or maybe we follow whatever they decide for the whole line.
[8:02pm] <@JTorres> Fingers crossed.
[8:02pm] <@JTorres> But please continue to support TTG anyway you can :)
[8:02pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:02pm] <!Butch> you heard the man, folks
[8:03pm] <!Forau> Buy, buy, BUY!
[8:03pm] <!Butch> not to bootlick at all, but TTG really deserves its success and a good long run
[8:03pm] <!Butch> should we go to the next question?
[8:04pm] <!K> I'm sure people are sick of seeing us blather by now :)
[8:04pm] <@JTorres> Aw, shucks.
[8:04pm] <@JTorres> Yeah, let's move on.
[8:04pm] <!Forau> Hey, I like their unwavering attention :)
[8:04pm] <!Butch> okay, What gave you the idea to include those knock-knock jokes with chibi characters throughout the issues?
[8:04pm] <!Butch> (for a less depressing topic :P)
[8:04pm] <@JTorres> Sam Register.
[8:04pm] <@JTorres> It was his idea.
[8:05pm] <@JTorres> And it proved a hit with the kids so DC said keep doing it.
[8:05pm] <@JTorres> Not that I don't like them, but some stories/issues I just thought we didn't need them, but during those times my editor would be like, "Where are the chibis?!"
[8:05pm] <@JTorres> So, I had to put something in :)
[8:06pm] <@JTorres> I like the idea of the jokes and chibis but not if it's forced, you know?
[8:06pm] <@JTorres> Anyway... next question before I get myself in trouble :)
[8:06pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:06pm] <!Butch> heheh
[8:06pm] <@JTorres> Okay, I have a question for the "audience"...
[8:07pm] <@JTorres> Forau, please give them 15-20 second to respond, okay?
[8:07pm] <!Forau> Sure
[8:07pm] <!Butch> audience response time!

[8:09pm] <+KefkaFloyd> Hot, juicy waffles covered in syrup.
[8:09pm] <@JTorres> I love how Headbanger15 had to get a "BB RAE!" in there. Those shippers are hardcore :)
[8:10pm] <!Butch> mm, moist and buttery
[8:10pm] <@JTorres> Yes, please.
[8:10pm] <!K> scandalous
[8:10pm] <!Forau> Damn, now I want ice cream :P
[8:10pm] <%Nat> HaHA, I have some.
[8:10pm] <!Butch> on a side note, J. the default quit message for all java chat users is "LOL BB/RAE 4EVR"
[8:10pm] <!Butch> spreading love
[8:10pm] <@JTorres> LOL
[8:10pm] <!K> Facetious love :D
[8:10pm] <!Butch> ok, enough crap from me....this next question's from JThree
[8:11pm] <!Butch> who also couldn't come. i guess lots couldn't show up cuz of those accursed Halloween parties
[8:11pm] <!Forau> The Halloweenies!
[8:11pm] <!Butch> anyway...Did everyone involved with the TT series (or comic book) agree with the decision to end things like they did on "Things Change?" I'm not asking for names or specifics, but didn't anyone out there want to cut poor BB a break?
[8:11pm] <!Butch> i think this may be an un-answerable one...
[8:12pm] <@JTorres> I really don't know who's idea that was, but we must remember WE ALL thought there would be a season six.
[8:12pm] <@JTorres> who's =whose
[8:12pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:12pm] <!Butch> unmute, f?

* Nat sets mode: -m

[8:13pm] <Evilbob> Titans East need love! THEY NEED IT!
[8:13pm] <ToboeLoneWolf> I love how everything is kept mysterious. Makes fanfiction more fun.
[8:13pm] <Headbanger15> You thought so too? Wow...
[8:13pm] <Aurora> so sad
[8:13pm] <%Nat> Since F seems to be asleep.
[8:13pm] <terrafan05> i knew it i knew it i knew it i knew it!!!
[8:13pm] <SamRH> It makes me depressed when I think about how Things Change was the last episode...
[8:13pm] <Neko> I love Things Change.
[8:13pm] <Evilbob> I want a titans east season v.v
[8:13pm] <Evilbob> Because they have so much potential
[8:13pm] <Razorsaw> It was a more impactful episode due to the tragedy and the vagueness.
[8:13pm] <!Forau> Sleep is for weak!
[8:13pm] <Aurora> It's so depresing
[8:14pm] <!Butch> it's routine for a show to have to wait for a new season order...but TT was so popular, it seemed guaranteed
[8:14pm] <Neko> It's a beautiful episode.
[8:14pm] <ToboeLoneWolf> "you can sleep when you're dead!"
[8:14pm] <!Butch> the delay was just bad news
[8:14pm] <SamRH> Sleep? What is sleep?
[8:14pm] <Headbanger15> Poor BB...
[8:14pm] <Evils-Fire> Sleep is for the weak, coffee forever
[8:14pm] <Razorsaw> *is not sure impactful is an actual word...
[8:14pm] <!Butch> i re-read the transcript for Things Change last night. made me so sad
[8:14pm] <Evilbob> Ah, BB's allright
[8:14pm] <@JTorres> Yeah, blame it on a changing of the guard at the network level.
[8:14pm] <type> I want terra to replace robin due to that dang bat embargo
[8:14pm] <Liobit> I liked how it ended, but I think the last episode should have focused more on all of the Titans in turn rather than just BB.
[8:14pm] <Evilbob> if he doesnt get aressted for stalking terra
[8:14pm] <Evilbob> he will be fine
[8:14pm] <Neko> The whole thing was just...woah.
[8:14pm] <!Butch> the parts with BB trying to remind Terra, and you just know she hurts inside
[8:14pm] <JinxFanForever> Things Change made me so depressed. I actually cried.
[8:14pm] <SamRH> I liked the episode, I just didn't like how it was the last one..
[8:14pm] <Neko> Kudos for the symbolism, TT staff.
[8:14pm] <!Butch> type: i think they'd sooner replace him with Wonder Girl :P
[8:15pm] <Java3501> Will Rose wilson appear?
[8:15pm] <Aurora> I cried too
[8:15pm] <@JTorres> So, who here thinks that's the real Terra?
[8:15pm] <Evilbob> ROSE!
[8:15pm] <Evilbob> YES!
[8:15pm] <Razorsaw> I do.
[8:15pm] <Evilbob> god, no.
[8:15pm] <SamRH> I think it is.
[8:15pm] <Aurora> Yes
[8:15pm] <ToboeLoneWolf> More or less, yes.
[8:15pm] <JinxFanForever> I do.
[8:15pm] <Neko> I have a gut feeling that it is.
[8:15pm] <Liobit> I'm not sure. I can see how it would be, and how it wouldn't be...
[8:15pm] <Headbanger15> NO! Noone can replace BB. He's the best friend I never had! lol
[8:15pm] <!Butch> he gave her a rock to skip, and she instantly goes "Beast Boy..."
[8:15pm] <The_Portal> When I saw her, I just said yes.
[8:15pm] <SamRH> Not in her right mind maybe...
[8:15pm] <ToboeLoneWolf> I've got a bunch of crack theories, though.
[8:15pm] <!Butch> odd reaction for a stranger, no? :P
[8:15pm] <type> oh that would work
[8:15pm] <Evils-Fire> I thought she was the real Terra
[8:15pm] <Evilbob> I think you should have a war between Mumbo and whats-his face
[8:15pm] <Evilbob> the magic titan
[8:15pm] <Headbanger15> you know a lot of questions were unanswered you know...
[8:16pm] <type> I believe it was the real deal
[8:16pm] <%Nat> Zatara?
[8:16pm] <Headbanger15> but did u go over that?
[8:16pm] <Aurora> Ya
[8:16pm] <Headbanger15> ok
[8:16pm] <terrafan05> we're ready to be quiet now...lol
[8:16pm] <!Butch> heh, ok
[8:16pm] <@JTorres> I believe it's her. But that's just me.
[8:16pm] <!Butch> muting in ....3,2,1

* Butch sets mode: +m

[8:16pm] <!Butch> ok, J. here's your next...
[8:16pm] <!Butch> Is it a coincidence that Mike Norton's design for Rock's costume highly resembles "The New Teen Titans" Terra's?
[8:17pm] <@JTorres> I wish he were here to respond to that.
[8:17pm] <!Butch> (for those who don't remember Rock, she's from the Paper/Scissors/Rock trio in that Starfire issue with Wildebeest)
[8:17pm] <@JTorres> All I can say is I love the "falling rocks" symbol on her chest :)
[8:17pm] <!Butch> too bad they couldn't make it here today
[8:17pm] <@JTorres> TTG artists obviously have lives while I don't :)
[8:18pm] <!Butch> writing...what, 3 books at any given time, *and* have time to kick back with fans?
[8:18pm] <!Forau> Maybe if we did a chat on iSketch...
[8:18pm] <!Butch> J is a masochist...
[8:18pm] <@JTorres> I love talking to fans!
[8:18pm] <@JTorres> Reminds me that someone actually reads what I write :)
[8:18pm] <@JTorres> You know, other than my nephews and nieces.
[8:18pm] <!Butch> *cough*overlyhumble*cough*
[8:19pm] <@JTorres> Actually, I'm working on four projects now and I'm about to move house. December is going to be crazier than Mad Mod.
[8:19pm] <@JTorres> But I digress...
[8:19pm] <@JTorres> Next question?
[8:19pm] <!Butch> wow
[8:19pm] <!Butch> okay...next one's from another fan
[8:20pm] <!Butch> i don't see barfarama2 here, so i'll say it
[8:20pm] <!Butch> from barfarama2: Do you have any big plans for Titans Go! #50?
[8:20pm] <@JTorres> Of course :)
[8:20pm] <@JTorres> I'm going to be in NYC in November and the first thing on the agenda for me and Tom (editor) is to firm up plans for that issue.
[8:21pm] <@JTorres> I just hope we're still around by then...
[8:21pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:22pm] <!Butch> lookin forward to it
[8:23pm] <!Butch> okay, next question
[8:23pm] <!Butch> this was sort of answered already, but...What other comics have you written? Any new comics you're working on coming up?
[8:23pm] <@JTorres> Degrassi!
[8:23pm] <@JTorres> Anyone here watch the show?

* Forau sets mode: -m

[8:23pm] <TTF> Yeah I have
[8:23pm] <Liobit> Nope.
[8:23pm] <Evils-Fire> I do
[8:23pm] <ToboeLoneWolf> Don't watch much TV, sorry.
[8:23pm] <InsanityManifest> Heard of it, never seen
[8:23pm] <Neko> My friends do.
[8:23pm] <JinxFanForever> name doesn't ring a bell
[8:24pm] <Aurora> Nope
[8:24pm] <RavenStar> Heard of it, never watched it
[8:24pm] <terrafan05> tell us a little about it please
[8:24pm] <Evilbob> Oh, god, JT. Your making me sad. If you even think that TTG might end, don't tell me, i'm still sad bout the show.
[8:24pm] <SamRH> I watched it
[8:24pm] <Aurora> Never heard of it
[8:24pm] <TTF> I have in Health class
[8:24pm] <Ewing4686> name is familiar
[8:24pm] <LadyHood> I've never seen it, but I've watched music videos of it
[8:24pm] <SamRH> Used to be a hardcore fan
[8:24pm] <Neko> The old one?
[8:24pm] <Neko> Or that newish one?
[8:24pm] <Headbanger15> I remember Degrassi it's on The N. Don't like that show
[8:24pm] <SamRH> JT <33
[8:24pm] <Evilbob> Nah, I stopped watching TV after FMA ended

* Forau sets mode: +m

[8:24pm] <@JTorres> The new one on The N. It's a teen drama.
[8:24pm] <!Butch> ok, next fan question.
[8:24pm] <@JTorres> But no costumes, no Twoer.
[8:25pm] <@JTorres> Tower.
[8:25pm] <!Forau> Degrassi isn't aired here, so I never heard of it.
[8:25pm] <@JTorres> Yes, next...
[8:25pm] <!Butch> oops, sorry to cut off
[8:25pm] <!Butch> this is from Combatchick
[8:25pm] <@JTorres> Where are you, Forau?
[8:25pm] <!Butch> she's in the chat, but isn't responding, so...i'll ask for her
[8:25pm] <!Forau> The Netherlands.
[8:25pm] <@JTorres> Ah.
[8:25pm] <!Butch> from combatchic: Who is the hardest Titan to draw? (or, in this case, write)
[8:26pm] <@JTorres> Drawing... everyone pretty much says Cyborg.
[8:26pm] <@JTorres> All that circuitry, I guess.
[8:26pm] <@JTorres> Writing-wise...
[8:26pm] <@JTorres> Probably Robin.
[8:27pm] <!Forau> Why Robin?
[8:27pm] <@JTorres> Mainly because there are so many different Robins out there, and remember I'd OLD, so sometimes all their voices are battling it out in my head and affecting the characterization of the TTG Robin :)
[8:28pm] <!Forau> Heh, any other version of Robin you prefer to show the most in this incarnation?
[8:28pm] <@JTorres> The TTG Robin is suppsosed to "intense", "driven" and "serious" for the most part... but traditionally, Robin is a wise-cracking sidekick, you know?
[8:28pm] <@JTorres> Well, I try to keep him like on the show, of course.
[8:29pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:29pm] <!Butch> next question?
[8:29pm] <!Butch> ok. we might need to kick things into gear now, not much time left for J :P
[8:29pm] <!Butch> What do you like best about working on "Teen Titans Go!"?
[8:29pm] <@JTorres> I just love that I love what I do. I love writing comics, I love the Teen Titans, I love that this is my "job."
[8:29pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:30pm] <!Butch> this next one is from Focusedshadow
[8:30pm] <!Butch> I heard J talking about trying to get permission to do a story about the Tournament of Heroines quite some time ago. Is that still a possibility, or has the team had problems with making it?
[8:30pm] <@JTorres> The problem is finding the time/issue to put it in.
[8:31pm] <@JTorres> We're booked up for several issues, and I want Todd to draw it too, so it's a matter of scheduling.
[8:31pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:31pm] <!Butch> next question...Which Titan is your favorite?
[8:31pm] <@JTorres> That's like asking a parent to pick a favorite child!
[8:32pm] <@JTorres> (Starfire.)
[8:32pm] <!Butch> yea, i know...an unfair question :P
[8:32pm] <!Butch> ready for the next?
[8:32pm] <!Forau> Creators get to play favorites :P
[8:32pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:32pm] <!Butch> last one from FocusedShadow: Besides Chynna Clugston, are there any guest artists that are planning to do the artwork in a future issue?
[8:33pm] <@JTorres> Fabio Laguna just turned in a short story.
[8:33pm] <@JTorres> X-Men fans might remember him.
[8:33pm] <@JTorres> Sanford Greene is also doing a short.
[8:33pm] <@JTorres> People might know him from the Evil Dead comics.
[8:33pm] <@JTorres> I think he did Ghostbuster too.
[8:34pm] <!Butch> (if you guys wanna see pages of Sanford's upcoming issue, we linked to some scans in our updates)
[8:34pm] <!Butch> his stuff is pretty sweet looking
[8:34pm] <@JTorres> Johanne Matte, who worked on the video games, did a short as well and it's probably my fave of the shorts to date.
[8:34pm] <@JTorres> Not that I pick favorites :)
[8:34pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:34pm] <!Butch> next: What characters from the DCU will we see next for TTG?
[8:34pm] <@JTorres> I can't say. It'll spoil some suprises.
[8:35pm] <!Butch> awww
[8:35pm] <!Butch> any teases?
[8:35pm] <@JTorres> But it's already in the can so that means it's coming soonish :)
[8:35pm] <@JTorres> Well, it's in one of the origin stories... that's all I'm saying.
[8:35pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:35pm] <!Forau> http://www.titansgo.net/news.php?id=354 <-- Sanford scan pages.
[8:35pm] <!Butch> from lostinseganet: If the teen titans were to come back in another form would you be willing to direct it, and would such a move jepordize your current position.
[8:35pm] <@JTorres> That's an odd question...
[8:36pm] <!Butch> yup
[8:36pm] <@JTorres> I'm not sure what s/he's asking.
[8:36pm] <!Butch> i suppose, to simplify...
[8:36pm] <!Butch> if the show came back for more seasons, b/c it's entirely possible, would you be wiling to work on it?
[8:36pm] <@JTorres> Heck, yes!
[8:36pm] <@JTorres> :)
[8:36pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:36pm] <!Butch> that was fast :D
[8:36pm] <!Butch> ok, next
[8:36pm] <!Butch> What are your currently favorite TV shows, cartoons? Anything on your comic pull list?
[8:37pm] <@JTorres> The Office, My Name is Earl, 30 Rock, Studio 60...
[8:37pm] <@JTorres> Legion of Superheroes, Batman, Avatar...
[8:37pm] <@JTorres> I actually get all the DC and Oni comics for free...
[8:37pm] <@JTorres> But the books that I do buy include...
[8:38pm] <@JTorres> Vagabond, Bone, Usagi Yojimbo, Shadow Star...
[8:38pm] <@JTorres> Alice in Wonderland from SLG!
[8:38pm] <@JTorres> Um... I think that's about it.
[8:38pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:38pm] <!Butch> well....
[8:38pm] <!Butch> the next question is from ToboeLoneWolf, who is here right now
[8:39pm] <!Butch> but she hasn't responded
[8:39pm] <!Butch> i'll give a few seconds, then ask for her/him
[8:39pm] <!Forau> Maybe ask a different question in the meantime?
[8:39pm] <!Butch> okay
[8:39pm] <!Butch> from TheKaiser: Can you give us any more detail on the issue you mentioned before that was a Raven-centered issue that also would feature Jericho? Do the two interact at all in it?
[8:40pm] <@JTorres> Oh, yes.
[8:40pm] <@JTorres> Depends on your definition of "interact" but they... well, interact.
[8:40pm] <@JTorres> That issue also has the Emoticlones as I call them.
[8:41pm] <@JTorres> Raven's colorful personalities from Nevermore.
[8:41pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:41pm] <!Butch> ok...hm
[8:42pm] <!Butch> i'm going to ask the next question from someone who's not here, b/c people aren't responding to my chat PMs to ask
[8:42pm] <!Butch> unless they're unable to
[8:42pm] <!Butch> so...from Marie: In the theme song it says "never met a villian that they liked."But they met Terra.
[8:42pm] <!Butch> - So was Terra considered a good guy or a little of both?
[8:42pm] <@JTorres> That
[8:42pm] <@JTorres> is a brilliant question!
[8:42pm] <@JTorres> :)
[8:43pm] <@JTorres> She must not have been a real villain if they liked her enough to call her a Titan and a friend :)
[8:43pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:43pm] <!Butch> ok, ToboeLoneWolf's up!

* Butch sets mode: +v ToboeLoneWolf

[8:43pm] <+ToboeLoneWolf> Can you write a comic that is set within the timeline of main story arcs, say, a comic with Robin as Slade's apprentice, or that time when Terra ran away, or Raven right after Birthmark?
[8:43pm] <@JTorres> I would love to do more issues like these but my editor is leary of doing stuff that's too "old", you know?
[8:44pm] &;;;lt;@JTorres> He wants us to stay as current as possible.
[8:44pm] <+ToboeLoneWolf> So it's all like, post season 5 stuff you're writing. Cool.
[8:44pm] <@JTorres> Mind you, I will keep pushing for that type of stuff because I think there's a lot of story to mine there.
[8:44pm] <@JTorres> Thanks for the question!
[8:44pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:44pm] <+ToboeLoneWolf> Definitely.
[8:44pm] <!Butch> ok, gonna re-mute Toboe...
[8:45pm] <!Butch> ah, heck. chat is acting odd
[8:45pm] <!Butch> i'll just go to the next question...
[8:45pm] <!Butch> from NevermoreRaven: You mentioned "origin stories" and the appearance of Arella in your last interview- are you planning to do all five titans origins? Will it be similar to the "DP Beast Boy" story? If so, how will you handle Robin's? Will you mention Batman?

* Nat sets mode: -v ToboeLoneWolf

[8:46pm] <@JTorres> The short answer is yes, I'd like to do all five eventually and possibly even other Titans.
[8:46pm] <!Butch> next question?
[8:46pm] <@JTorres> But I don't want to get into specifics of who's up first... but it's not the girls :)
[8:46pm] <!Butch> ooh
[8:47pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:47pm] <!Butch> ok, here's our last forum posted question
[8:47pm] <!Butch> JinxFanForever is here, but hasn't responded yet, so i'll ask for her
[8:47pm] <!Butch> from JinxFanForever: Are you considering at one point to make a Jinx origin comic? Or something that might thrust her into the spotlight a little more?
[8:48pm] <@JTorres> I actually want to do more with the former Hive kids so origin stories are certainly a possibility.
[8:48pm] <@JTorres> Stay tuned?
[8:48pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:48pm] <!Butch> ok, next live question is from Evilbob...if he's here

* Butch sets mode: +v Evilbob

[8:48pm] <!Butch> i'll give him a few seconds to respond
[8:48pm] <@JTorres> Hello, Evilbob.
[8:49pm] <!Butch> hmm
[8:49pm] <!Butch> well...i'll ask his for him
[8:49pm] <!Butch> from Evilbob: "Do you plan for slightly-darker themed comics?"
[8:50pm] <@JTorres> Well, we've tried to do at least one every year so yeah.
[8:50pm] <@JTorres> I think the Kilowatt stuff coming up is pretty "dark."
[8:51pm] <@JTorres> And I think #50 might be dark-ish.
[8:51pm] <@JTorres> Plus, the Phobia story I'm still developing will be too...
[8:51pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:51pm] <!Butch> Bob's next question is a very good one
[8:51pm] <!Butch> from Evilbob: We have seen General Immortus and the other members of the brotherhood of evil several times, but are is there any chance we may see Brother Blood soon?
[8:51pm] <@JTorres> Yes.
[8:52pm] <@JTorres> Next question :)
[8:52pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:52pm] <!Butch> that's EvilBob, who just joined...
[8:53pm] <!Butch> okay, well
[8:53pm] <!Butch> two others who had live questions aren't responding either, maybe due to chat issues again
[8:53pm] <!Butch> so i'm going to hand the floor over to InsanityManifest

* Butch sets mode: +v InsanityManifest

[8:54pm] <+InsanityManifest> I've been a fan of Cyborg since the original DC comic, and I was wondering, are there going to be any comics centering on expanding his character at all?
[8:54pm] <@JTorres> Yep!
[8:54pm] <+InsanityManifest> Shweet
[8:54pm] <+InsanityManifest> I had one other one
[8:54pm] <@JTorres> You should make sure you get a copy of... #45.
[8:54pm] <+InsanityManifest> Oooh I will
[8:55pm] <@JTorres> Okay, what's your next question?
[8:55pm] <+InsanityManifest> The other question I had, was how can I improve writing humor?
[8:55pm] <@JTorres> Ooh, that's a hard one...
[8:55pm] <@JTorres> Because I feel you either have it or you don't, you know?
[8:55pm] <@JTorres> I don't think it's learned...
[8:56pm] <+InsanityManifest> Ahh
[8:56pm] <@JTorres> I guess my best advice is to just keep it natural, don't force it.
[8:56pm] <@JTorres> Sorry, I hope that helps somehow.
[8:56pm] <+InsanityManifest> It does, thanks!
[8:56pm] <@JTorres> My pleasure.

[8:57pm] <+Java6796> now that todd have drawn some new titans(that didnt appear in the show) are you plannig to use them in the comics, i would like to see lilith using her powers like phoebe from charmed
[8:58pm] <@JTorres> Some of them we've requested the powers that be to let us use them.
[8:58pm] <@JTorres> We're still waiting to hear back, you know?
[8:58pm] <@JTorres> I'd love to use all those character Todd drew "for fun."
[8:58pm] <@JTorres> They're not only cool designs but all of them are interesting characters.

[8:59pm] <!Butch> ok, onto our next live asker..

* Butch sets mode: +v Liobit

[8:59pm] <+Liobit> Hello! Kay, long question:
[8:59pm] <@JTorres> Hi!
[8:59pm] <+Liobit> Random Question: do fans, or are fans allowed to, or will fans be allowed to in the future, it will if even be considered at all: send to the script-writers (whoever is in charge of the storyboarding up there ^^) ideas for future comic issues? Like different plots? OR, : send in their own mini-comics to put in the back of the issue? *has never read any of the comics before so has no idea* But if none of this does happen, I think it2019d
[8:00pm] <@JTorres> Unfortunately, DC has rules in place that prevent this kind of thing. It's a legal issue, you see. That's why you rarely even see contests where fans get to write or draw stuff.
[8:00pm] <@JTorres> Sorry.
[8:00pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:00pm] <+Liobit> Ah. I get it.
[8:00pm] <!Butch> thanks, liobit
[8:00pm] <+Liobit> You're welcome!

* Butch sets mode: -v Liobit

[8:01pm] <!Butch> onto our next question-er, The_Portal

* Butch sets mode: +v The_Portal

[8:01pm] <+The_Portal> Since a new comic has been confirmed with Mad Mod parodying a Hard Day's Night, I was wondering if the comic would be based on the plot, or would just be full of references from the movie.
[8:01pm] <@JTorres> A little of both, actually.
[8:01pm] <+The_Portal> Ah. Thank you.
[8:01pm] <@JTorres> Everyone should watch a "Hard Day's Night" because it's a terrific movie, but it'll also help getting the gags in the issue :)
[8:02pm] <+The_Portal> I'm just a bit of a fanboy for The Beatles so I was curious.
[8:02pm] <@JTorres> Then you should love this issue!
[8:02pm] <+The_Portal> :D
[8:02pm] <@JTorres> Chynna and I love the Beatles too so this was a labor of love :)
[8:02pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:03pm] <!Butch> Genpachi7, floor's all yours
[8:03pm] <!Butch> oh, wait one sec...
[8:03pm] <!Butch> notice: to submit more live questions, just double-click my name and ask for a spot in line
[8:03pm] <!Butch> we'll be able to accept only maybe 2 more
[8:04pm] <!Butch> 'k Gen, it's all yours
[8:04pm] <!Butch> hm
[8:04pm] <+Genpachi7> Alright, well I guess I have two questions. My first one would be have you ever thought of bringing Golden Eagle to the comic? If you remember him that is
[8:05pm] <@JTorres> Yes, I remember him and yeah we've talked about all sorts of Titans to bring in.
[8:05pm] <@JTorres> The question is when/how and if the powers that be will let us.
[8:06pm] <@JTorres> There are enough Titans out there to have a South and North team too :)
[8:06pm] <+Genpachi7> Ah ok, 2nd question is how and when did you come up the idea for the T-Robo?
[8:07pm] <@JTorres> Well, since TTG is anime-inspired and we had all these vehicles, plus Cyborg being so into inventing stuff.... it just seemed like a natural thing!
[8:08pm] <@JTorres> It was cool when they made a toy for us.
[8:08pm] <!Butch> notice: we are no longer accepting live questions. sorry guys!
[8:08pm] <@JTorres> He's sitting on top of my shelves over here.
[8:08pm] <!Butch> (sorry to interrupt, J)
[8:08pm] <@JTorres> But we're going to do a lightning round so don't go anywhere and hang on to your questions!
[8:09pm] <@JTorres> Who's next?
[8:09pm] <!Butch> heh, one second
[8:09pm] <!Butch> sorry...i've got a dozen windows shooting at me

* Butch sets mode: +v Java2781

[8:10pm] <+Java2781> allright JT, this is a big question. You might want to strech or something to warm up for it.
[8:10pm] <@JTorres> Poor, Butch...
[8:10pm] <@JTorres> :)
* Java2781 is now known as evilbob
[8:10pm] <+evilbob> there
[8:10pm] <+evilbob> allright
[8:10pm] <@JTorres> Uh-oh...
[8:10pm] <+evilbob> What exactly is the age targent difference between TT and TTG? TT had things that targented older audiences, are you not allowed to do that? Are there any spacific examples of things you wanted to do that you cant?

* Butch sets mode: -v Genpachi7

[8:10pm] <@JTorres> Well, TT originally was supposed to be aimed at boys ages 6-10.
[8:10pm] <@JTorres> Then they discovered it also appealed to older kids and even adults.

* Forau sets mode: -v KefkaFloyd

[8:11pm] <@JTorres> So, they started changing the way they wrote the show, you know?
[8:11pm] <+evilbob> yeah, and made it awsome
[8:11pm] <+evilbob> you can tell about season 3, right?
[8:11pm] <@JTorres> For us on TTG, though, statistics show that most of our readers are still grade schoolers, and parents buying for their kids, so we have more of a balancing act.
[8:11pm] <+evilbob> Ah, well
[8:12pm] <+evilbob> thanks for answering
[8:12pm] <+evilbob> ^.^
[8:12pm] <+evilbob> I may be muted, but my spirit will never die!
[8:12pm] <@JTorres> Yeah, I hear ya.
[8:12pm] <!Butch> thanks evilbob

* Butch sets mode: +v Neko


* Forau sets mode: -v evilbob

[8:12pm] <+Neko> Hiya J! Just shoutin' out our love for TTG here in the Southeast US. 'Kay, I have two questions. Number one, what was your favorite issue to write?
[8:12pm] <@JTorres> Hi, there.
[8:12pm] <@JTorres> Hmm...
[8:12pm] <@JTorres> It was probably #2.
[8:12pm] <@JTorres> Just because BB was so cheeky in it.
[8:13pm] <@JTorres> Also, #13, again because of BB.
[8:13pm] <@JTorres> He's fun to write and love seeing Todd bring the humor to life, you know?
[8:13pm] <@JTorres> But actually, #38, our next Valentine's was fun to write too...
[8:13pm] <@JTorres> Larry plays cupid in that one so you can guess why it was fun :)
[8:14pm] <!Butch> should we move on, unless Neko's got a parting word?
[8:14pm] <+Neko> Oh, I like that one. BB is awesome and so zen at times. Anything with him is major win. Okay, next question. This ones a dozey.
[8:14pm] <@JTorres> I'm ready...
[8:14pm] <@JTorres> I think :)
[8:15pm] <+Neko> If you could have any TT merchandise, no matter how silly, what would it be? Nothing's out of the question. ;D

* Butch sets mode: +v Psy


* Butch sets mode: -v Psy

[8:16pm] <@JTorres> Hmm...
[8:16pm] <@JTorres> I would love action figures of ALL the Titans.
[8:16pm] <@JTorres> Like, everyone.
[8:16pm] <@JTorres> That would make me happy.
[8:16pm] <+Neko> Heh, awesome. We can hope, can't we. Thanks for your time. :D
[8:16pm] <@JTorres> Thanks, Neko!
[8:16pm] <@JTorres> ###


* Butch sets mode: +v Psy


* Forau sets mode: -v Neko

[8:17pm] <!Butch> ok Psy, *now* you're up :P
[8:17pm] <+Psy> Hi J. Two questions. The Titans East have made alot of cameos in TTG, and Speedy and Aqualad got their own half issue.
[8:17pm] <+Psy> Will TE have their own full issue in the future, like the episode For Real?
[8:18pm] <@JTorres> I had a story idea for one such issue, but it had to be shelved becase we had so many other things going.
[8:18pm] <@JTorres> But I'm sure we'll try and find a place for it on the schedule.
[8:19pm] <@JTorres> Or at least I hope we do!
[8:19pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:19pm] <+Psy> Aw. Well, cool.

* Butch sets mode: +v type

[8:19pm] <!Butch> Type's up next
[8:19pm] <+type> Could you give terra some food so she can gain some weight? She is sooo skinny it not funny. I am not saying sex her up, but looking at her makes me a bit sad. I wish I could give her a nice piece of chicken. Maybe when/if you bring her back she can have a nice piece of chicken in her mouth and not look like she has starved to fit in a size zero dress.

* Butch sets mode: -v Psy

[8:20pm] <+type> why did you guys make her that way?
[8:20pm] <@JTorres> You know, it's not that she doesn't eat. She just a high metabolism!
[8:20pm] <!Forau> Haha, no love for matchstick Terra :P
[8:20pm] <+type> thats not my second question lol
[8:20pm] <+type> i like here
[8:20pm] <+type> her but she needs to eat
[8:20pm] <!Butch> she's an active girl! :P
[8:20pm] <+type> lol
[8:21pm] <+type> ha true no gut
[8:21pm] <@JTorres> I think it was just a design idea to make her look like a "real teenage girl." Or at least mix up the body types on the show a bit.
[8:21pm] <+type> ok mix i can handle :0
[8:21pm] <+type> :)
[8:21pm] <+type> second question
[8:21pm] <+type> -Have you ever considered helping the story for the teen titan videogames? Teen Titans had almost single handly caused the Majesco Sales, Inc. company to have a good quarter. Perhaps you could develop a relationship with them and create games.
[8:21pm] <@JTorres> Actually, I've asked.
[8:21pm] <+type> o and
[8:22pm] <@JTorres> Johanne Matte works for the design company and I've told her to tell her bosses that I'd be down for that.
[8:22pm] <@JTorres> But, alas, haven't heard from them.
[8:22pm] <+type> o that sounds hopful
[8:22pm] <+type> aww
[8:22pm] <@JTorres> Maybe they already have writers on staff.
[8:22pm] <@JTorres> But I'll keep asking!
[8:22pm] <@JTorres> Trust me, I want that job :)
[8:22pm] <@JTorres> ##
[8:22pm] <+type> you have name recogizarrion
[8:22pm] <!Butch> i think we'll have to limit each person up to 2 questions, to be fair
[8:22pm] <+type> ok

* Forau sets mode: -v type

[8:22pm] <!Butch> those of you in line, be ready with your questions, please

* Butch sets mode: +v Nights

[8:22pm] <!Butch> Nights is up!
[8:23pm] <+Nights> 'Sup?
[8:23pm] <+Nights> With his audacity, and devil-may-care attitude, Red X has always been a favorite character of mine, so I was wondering if he would be getting any sort of development in the future. Not necessarily his identity, but his motives, his interaction with others, and his personality in general. Perhaps a comic explaining just how he was able to break into titans tower?
[8:23pm] <@JTorres> Red X is a tricky one.
[8:24pm] <+Nights> sorry if I threw you a curveball there
[8:24pm] <@JTorres> I really want to do more with him but I don't want to do anything that would undo or go against the grain of the creators of the show...
[8:24pm] <@JTorres> ...so, before I tackled anything major with him, I'd want to sit down with Glen or David and pick their brains to get it right, you know?
[8:24pm] <+Nights> yeah, he's supposed to be "Mr. Mysterious", but he's also cool enough that you want more of him
[8:24pm] <+Nights> sure, i understand
[8:24pm] <+Nights> Thanks
[8:24pm] <+Nights> done, butch
[8:25pm] <@JTorres> Sort of what I did with Wonder Girl. I talked to Glen first and said how about this? would this work? would this be how you guys would've done it?

* Butch sets mode: -v Nights

[8:25pm] <@JTorres> I just want to honor the work they did on the show.

[8:25pm] <+Java8926> Hey, im from st. lucia in the caribbean, n i wanna say that since they cancelled TT, I started watchin the Batman and Avatar to try to fill TT's place, however, NO cartoon can take its place eva! Also, I hav 3 questions...Would slade reveal his identity in future issues? were issues going 2 b made into episodes if the seasons continued?
[8:25pm] <!Butch> (woah, that was fast)
[8:25pm] <+Java8926> lol.
[8:25pm] <+Java8926> u said b ready :)
[8:26pm] <@JTorres> No plans for comics to become episodes, unfortunately.
[8:26pm] <+Java8926> oh
[8:26pm] <@JTorres> But I guess we'll never know what might have been :)
[8:26pm] <+Java8926> and would aqualad get a GF/ relationship?
[8:26pm] <@JTorres> As for Slade, I don't know yet. See my answer to Nights about Red X.
[8:27pm] <+Java8926> ok
[8:27pm] <@JTorres> See #38 for the Aqualad question :)
[8:27pm] <@JTorres> ###

* Butch sets mode: +v Liobit

[8:28pm] <+Liobit> Hey J! Again! *laughs* This question is kinda long too, so here you go!
[8:28pm] <@JTorres> Post a link in the TTG forum, Java8926!
[8:28pm] <+Liobit> So2026is there a verdict on Slade? Like, not his identity, but what happened to him? He was the only guy the Titans never caught (minus Trigon, 2018cause2026he2019s Trigon) and my theory was that after the End of the World episodes, he respected the Titans, namely Robin, enough to leave them alone. Of course, the robot in Things Change was probably on purpose, just something to remember him by; but I find it hard to believe that he2
[8:28pm] <@JTorres> D'oh!
[8:29pm] <+Liobit> You'd think he was causing trouble somewhere else, right?
[8:29pm] <!Butch> (butting in here...Java's site is: www.callingallteentitans.piczo.com)
[8:29pm] <@JTorres> Well, according to the people I spke to on the show, Slade IS back.
[8:29pm] <+Liobit> Awesome.
[8:29pm] <@JTorres> So, it was only a matter of time - or season six - that he'd come back.
[8:29pm] <@JTorres> Maybe in a DTV?
[8:29pm] <@JTorres> We could only hope!
[8:29pm] <+Liobit> *starts hoping*
[8:29pm] <+Liobit> Thank you!
[8:30pm] <!Butch> thanks liobit. next question?

* Butch sets mode: +v terrafan05

[8:30pm] <+terrafan05> Sup J. I'd like to ask if there are any TTG side-projects in the works like a long grapic novel re-telling the judas contract using special guest artists ala death of superman

* Butch sets mode: -v Liobit

[8:32pm] <@JTorres> No, sorry, nothing right now.
[8:32pm] <+terrafan05> thanks...keep on keepin on bro!
[8:32pm] <@JTorres> We watned to do a Trouble in Tokyo adapation but the way they kept moving the air dates made it hard to schedule a comic book.

[8:36pm] <!Butch> whoops, Fiy left
[8:36pm] <+Java3501> sup Mr.Torres I have 2 question, first is...Ok since the main DCU Titans has a story arc about Slade making his Anti-Titans team, will you be able to do that also in TTGo! with Rose Wilson?
[8:37pm] <@JTorres> Well, we don't want to repeat or copy them too much...
[8:37pm] <@JTorres> ...but I will say we've got the "Teen Tyrants" coming up in an issue :)
[8:37pm] <+Java3501> oh cool
[8:38pm] <@JTorres> And I swear we came up with that before seeing the Anti-Titans stuff :)
[8:38pm] <@JTorres> ###

[8:38pm] <+Java3501> 2nd question...Will there be an issue where The Brain uses a gigantic robot body and the Titans end up fighting him?(using the Titans Go Bot of course)
[8:38pm] <@JTorres> Like in the Silver Age Titans?
[8:38pm] <@JTorres> Neat idea.
[8:38pm] <+Java3501> yup
[8:39pm] <@JTorres> Maybe someday. We have no immediate plans for the Brain but maybe in the future...

* Butch sets mode: +v Java6796

[8:42pm] <+Java6796> Hi, Mr. Torres i want to ask you sth: is it possible that maybe you could make a contest fro fans to make one fanchar appear in TTG? also i have a second question is there a possibility of having a issue but only with the founder titans (robin, aqualad, wondergirl(ttg #36 was awesome), sppedy and kid flash)?
[8:42pm] <@JTorres> Contests would be up to editorial. You can write to the Johnny DC address and ask.
[8:43pm] <+Java6796> ah ok :)
[8:43pm] <@JTorres> And I actually have a story idea starring the Fab Five so please stay tuned.
[8:43pm] <+Java6796> Aof course, i will wait for it
[8:43pm] <+Java6796> wondergirl was awesome in ttg 36
[8:44pm] <@JTorres> Thanks!

* Butch sets mode: +v KefkaFloyd


* Butch sets mode: -v Java6796

[8:45pm] <+KefkaFloyd> Hey J. Two questions. First question is an easy one. Will there be any more issues with Terra as a main character or focus of the story?
[8:46pm] <@JTorres> Oh... should I answer this... and spoil stuff...
[8:46pm] <@JTorres> Maybe :)
[8:46pm] <+KefkaFloyd> Fair enough.
[8:46pm] <@JTorres> My editor might hurt me for revealing too much.
[8:46pm] <!Forau> It'll be our secret :P
[8:47pm] <+KefkaFloyd> Second question, which isn't really related much to content, do you know what company prints TTG?
[8:47pm] <+KefkaFloyd> or does DC not contract out?
[8:47pm] <@JTorres> Quebecor.
[8:47pm] <+KefkaFloyd> Nerrr, quebecor.
* +KefkaFloyd shakes his fist
[8:47pm] <+KefkaFloyd> I work for a Consoldiated company. :) Just curious.
[8:48pm] <@JTorres> I believe DC (and Marvel) do all their printing there and have been for decades now. Sorry.
[8:48pm] <+KefkaFloyd> That's it from me.

* Butch sets mode: +v ToboeLoneWolf

[8:48pm] <+ToboeLoneWolf> Hey again! Considering that TT is anime-influenced, do you have any anime you like watching? Or manga you like reading? Possible influences?
[8:49pm] <@JTorres> Like the animators I'm a big FLCL fan.
[8:49pm] <+ToboeLoneWolf> Hm, I must check that one out then.
[8:50pm] <@JTorres> My all-time faves include Ranma 1/2, Maison Ikkoku, Gatchaman, Giant Robo, Big O, Blue Submarine No. 6...
[8:50pm] <+ToboeLoneWolf> Any new anime/manga?
[8:50pm] <@JTorres> ...Jubei-Chan, Chobits, Sol Bianca, Read or Die...
[8:50pm] <+ToboeLoneWolf> ROD ROCKS.
[8:50pm] <@JTorres> I could go on!
[8:50pm] <+ToboeLoneWolf> Ditto that.

* Butch sets mode: +v Java6408

[8:51pm] <+Java6408> why aren't you alowed to use Batman or even talk about him on TT or TTG, aren't they owned by the same company?

* Butch sets mode: -v ToboeLoneWolf

[8:52pm] <@JTorres> Well, it comes from the show's own "rules."
[8:53pm] <@JTorres> They wanted to keep the "sidekicks" separate from the adults and refer to them as little as possible.
[8:53pm] <+Java6408> ah, okay
[8:53pm] <@JTorres> That's basically it.
[8:53pm] <+Java6408> ahh

[8:56pm] <type> oo yes chichen
[8:56pm] <!Forau> Chicken doesn't fatten you up :P
[8:56pm] <!Butch> J should get a chance to ask you guys some questions, after all of that :P
[8:56pm] <Java3501> How about Rose Wilson and kid Devil??????????????????????????????????
[8:56pm] <ToboeLoneWolf> Opinions on Speedy/Cheshire? XD

[8:56pm] <Java6408> hey, tera might not eat chicken, but she does like pie
[8:56pm] <@JTorres> Waiting to see what DC says about Rose and KD.

[9:03pm] <@JTorres> Creators vs. fans.
[9:03pm] <ToboeLoneWolf> XP
[9:03pm] <evilbob> Sorry for being so insane
[9:03pm] <!Butch> haha, i bet fans would win
[9:04pm] <@JTorres> And maybe we can find a way to do it for charity?
[9:04pm] <Nights> later J, thanks for answering my question.
[9:04pm] <!Butch> we're crazy
[9:04pm] <evilbob> Damn strieght we would
[9:04pm] <Tifu> Creators can retcon their answers to be right :P
[9:04pm] <Psy> Seeya J.
[9:04pm] <evilbob> more pacifically, i would win
[9:04pm] <terrafan05> fans rule, creators rule slighly less
[9:04pm] <!Butch> they could stop making the stuff we love
[9:04pm] <evilbob> Yeah
[9:04pm] <ToboeLoneWolf> Do not underestimate author powers.
[9:04pm] <!Butch> then....we totally lose
[9:04pm] <Aurora> Fans bring creations to life
[9:04pm] <evilbob> and then we would not love them
[9:04pm] <type> stay in touch
[9:04pm] <@JTorres> We do it all for the fans!
[9:04pm] <!Butch> <creators> hah, take that you sniveling brats!
