bigjohnson84 asked: Are you in contact with Sony very often?

Sebastien replied: On a almost daily basis.



Chad asked: How many issues do you anticipate releasing in 2004?

Sebastien replied: If sales supports the title we plan on being monthly. And some Trade paper backs.



CJ asked: What about the recognition of the RGB series of old, the comic one?

Sebastien replied: In our comics, there will be elements of RGB, few ones, we are not going to do or print comics based on RGB.

CJ asked: Will this lead to a new TV show or cartoon?

Sebastien replied: Who knows, I'd love to.



Cliff_Roswell asked: Will there be any flashbacks?

Sebastien replied: Yes

Cliff_Roswell asked: Will any major baddies from RGB (Samhaine, etc) appear?

Sebastien replied: Anything's Possible.



DanTheMan asked: Can we expect to see non-paranormal antagonists, i.e. the EPA in the comic?

Sebastien replied: I won't say who, or what, but yes.



Jesusfreak asked: Will we get to see character development, or will it be zap ‘em and trap ’em, or will it be equal balence?

Sebastien replied: Yes I stress the importance of character development is primordial to a comic book's success. No “monster-of-the-week” syndrome.



Lionheart asked: Any form of clothing to be released?

Sebastien replied: We don't do t-shirts if that's what you mean.



Lukevenk asked: Will the comics be available online?

Sebastien replied: Online for sale, but not through us.



Protok asked: How do you plan to approach Dana/Pete and Egon/Janine?

Sebastien replied: They are taken care of. Andrew has done a great job in woving them in subplots.



river_of_slime asked: Is there a set date for any of the other products?

Sebastien replied: Not at this time. Most likely the first other non-comic product you'll see will be a poster.



roshangar asked: Will we be seeing art of the equipment soon?

Sebastien replied: Yes ! new art will be released Nov. 24th on Newsarama.com along with the cover of issue one.

roshangar asked: When and how was this project born?

Sebastien replied: VERY good question! I was lucky enough to see the movie in theatres when I was 9. So you all know my age now so GB has been, like most of you, a very dear movie to me. I thought it would be cool to do a GB comic book. As simple as it sounds, I knew the 20th anniversary was coming, so I wanted it to begin in advance. So I contacted Sony, presented a business proposal, and here we are ! Sounds easy but its not. I am greatfull to Sony because they are great people to work with.



slimerboy asked: Will they only use Ecto 1?

Sebastien replied: Yes. But “only” is a strong word.



toygeek asked: Is 88MPH involved with the NECA figures?

Sebastien replied: I can't say. Sorry.

toygeek asked: Is there anything you've been waiting for us to ask you about so you could spill the beans?

Sebastien replied: lol, I can't think of anything, and if anything, I can't say much.



Vinz_Clortho asked: Will the comic pages be glossy?

Sebastien replied: Yes, they are glossy, like the G.I. Joe comic books.

Vinz_Clortho asked: Will there be any new wallpapers being released any time soon?

Sebastien replied: The 24th, featuring the popular class 5 free roaming vapor.

Vinz_Clortho asked: What about Stay Puft?

Sebastien replied: Sure it could be done.

Vinz_Clortho asked: What are the chances of us seeing a Sedgewick type still with the three guys standing below Slimer shooting their beams at him, like as a wallpaper or something?

Sebastien replied: Anything's possible.



writenow asked: Any new love interests for Peter, or just Dana?

Sebastien replied: Stay tuned for Peter's love life.



LordVego asked: Will there be any spinoff comics?

Sebastien replied: Not determined yet.



NetSolo asked: Any chance for pin-ups?

Sebastien replied: Yes definitely, not at the center, but most likely at the end of an issue.



Dr. Riddle asked: Have you read my threads in the comic forum, and what did you think?

Sebastien replied: Nope, haven't read them.



Orko_is_King asked: Will Stay Puft be a recurring character?

Sebastien replied: Anything's Possible.

Orko_is_King asked: Will the GBs be travelling abroad?

Sebastien replied: Anything's Possible.



SoulWrangler asked: Anything else you're dying to show us, and could?

Sebastien replied: Sure but you have to wait.

SoulWrangler asked: How happy is Sony with your current work?

Sebastien replied: They are happy I will say for the record I have a great business relationship with them and I could not hope for better.

Does this mean that we're only getting four issues? Or it's issue one of a four issue story arc?

Number two, bud. Depending on how well the issues sell, it will be an ongoing comic series.

I can't remember correctly, but I thought Sebastien said we'd be getting a minimum of 11 issues next year, and as long as they sell well enough we can expect to see a new issue every month or so after that.

He said dependant on sales we may see 11 issues.

I knew I read “11 issues” and “depending on sales”…

I'm doing the same.
