Important continuity question for Merlin Missy. (Please Help!)

[mattzimmer]

I was reading Merlin Missy's journal about how the new Gargoyles comic is out (my comic book guy is saving it for me) and Merlin Missy referred to it as new continuity. I LOVE continuity but it sometimes confuses me. MM, one of your complaints about Destroyer was that we didn't know for sure if Lois and Jimmy survived

True, but he wasn't the ONLY person involved in making Gargoyles what it was. It feels kind of arbitrary to me to take one person's word on the entire series over the dozens of folks who worked so hard on the original series and TGC.

However if Micheal Reaves, Lydia Marano, Frank Paur and Cary Bates, etc., all agree I can live with it.

Thanks.

This was my main peeve with everyone's taking "Ask Greg" as canon. The comic works beter for me as a concept because it's again a team effort and not entirely What Greg Says. 'Cause I love Greg to pieces, and I think he works better when there's someone there to say, "Don't you think the World Tour has gone on long enough, Greg?"

[mattzimmer]

Gotcha. That's a good thing to know. What is your take on the premise of the Buffy season eight comics?

::Devil's Advocate:: Stan Lee can't take away the past thirty or so years of Spider-Man he didn't write and all of a sudden create new Spider canon that continues from when he left off.

tee hee!

[mattzimmer]

Did he actually do that?

I am SO not caught up on my comic books.

lol, no, I was just providing a counterpoint to Greg's statement that "Creators get to decide what's canon". Stan Lee is the creator of Spider-Man, but his right to decide what's canon went away decades ago.

Yeah, I feel pretty much the same way. Shows are a TEAM effort and one person can't just have a case of takesies backsies.
