Why does Jason hate you so much?
Jason and I have a rich and complex history that goes way back. We were thick as thieves back in the day. We came up together on the mean streets of Omaha, slingin bootleg comics on the corner and scrappin with the 1337 Street Gamerz, a local gang from the other side of the tracks.
So what happened?!? I'm still not quite sure. I believe it was about 9 years ago in the Summer, a few weeks after I had accidentally burned down his house, that I began dating his girlfriend. Or was it his mom? I don't really remember the order in which I dated them... but, anyways, I know I was definitely on a date at the movie theater. The movie? STAR WARS: The Phantom Menace!
I was talking on my cellphone during a Jar Jar scene when I heard someone whisper "awesome" behind me. When I turned around to bitch out this chump for interrupting my phone call I discovered, much to my surprise, it was my boy, Jason!!
"Jason, when did you get out?!", I said. Jason had been in the pokey on a stint of 8-10 years for a bogus B&E charge. How do I know it was bogus? Because it had actually been me that broke into that vault at the Bellagio with 10 other guys. None of which was Jason.
"Grant?! ...DAD?!?!" (Ohyeahhh!! That's right! I was on a date with his Dad that night!)
"Hey J", Mr. Jason's dad said, "can you believe this movie?"
"Wha...what do you mean??", Jason replied.
"He means can you believe how shitty this is!! This movie is absolute garba-" At this point my memory gets hazy. I remember hearing "I will fight you" as the shank slid between my ribs but after that it's all black.
A week later, I awoke in the hospital and that was the last I remembered having seen Jason... until a few months ago when we reunited on a podcast of LEOG. Ever since then we have returned to being the best of buds. I guess, to answer the question, Jason doesn't hate me at all. No reason to.

Not really a question here huh? So did you like them and would you like to see the LOST universe be expanded in comics, or novels after the series ends?

No, that was a perfectly fine question. I just couldn't get to it quicker. As far a LOST comics and books I might be interested but I enjoy the online ARGs more. What books have you read already?

No, I never got those. I did get one of the LOST puzzles which explores the drawing that Radzinsky makes in the Swan hatch, but that is the extent of LOST products I have purchased. I like getting involved in the LOST ARGs though. I am following the DamonCarltonandaPolarBear.com poster sale and I am enrolled at LOST University for the ARG that begins in December.

Yeah I cannot wait for the final ARG to begin.
Cheers for answering my question.
Namaste.

G'day Grant.
I think you're the only one of the League that is up to date with Fables right?
Personally I think since Boy Blues death the series has gotten boring. I stuck with it through the horrible crossover event but as of issue 90 I have given up on that series and I'm waiting on Trades. Do you think this series has fallen into a slump?

I think that it is actually picking back up again. The Crossover was quite a stinker and a lame marketing ploy to sell the other spin-off Fables series, but I am enjoying the "Witches" storyline right now and I love the new cover artist Jaou Raus (sp?). Willingham always does such a great job of taking the unassuming characters like Flycatcher and now Bufkin and turning them into badasses. Hopefully once Witches wraps up we will see the rise of Boy Blue again!

Okay so I bit the bullet and got Issue 91.... and you were right. I Know now that I overreacted it was just because that this was the 1st time in, jesus 5 years that I was disappointed in Fables. Anyway sorry for the lack of question.

Howdy, Grant! Are there any writers and/or artists whom you felt were tailor-made to work on a certain book or character, but have yet to do so?

Now that Avatar has come out, what are you thinking now? I was pretty sure after seeing the movie you'd probably be less hostile towards the special effects(which is, I believe, the best-looking CG yet).

I hope to see it in the next few days and I will eat my own words. I bet the movie will be great but I was drunk and feeling like being quite the contrarian in that last podcast.
