Hi - To be honest, I didn't pay that much attention to the BIONICLE Stars series, since it was just re-releases of old characters and there wasn't much I could do with it, story-wise.

The pity of course was that they were rereleases due to th fact that Bionicle got cancelled.

Just want to say, I'm a HUGE fan of the Bionicle story. Here's my question:

 

Overall, about how many comics have you written. Just a rough estimate, not exact. Joking

Hey Greg, what do you like better Bionicle, Ninjago or Hero Factory?

Are you planning on turing Zane evil in 2014 ?

This is my first day hearing of Greg. So please excuse my ignorance. But I have some questions for you Greg.
1. Can you give us some tips on how to write good stories?
2. Will there be anymore Ninjago sets? Episodes maybe?
3. This is the last one, when will Chima ONLINE open beta come out?

1) One of the important things is to treat your characters as real people, in a way. If you try to force them to do things in your story that they wouldn't normally do, then it  becomes hard to write, because they stop being predictable. And predicting what they do  next is part of your job as a writer.

2) Yes and yes.

3) Don't know


Hi chewchew and all Happy

 

I can answer number 3. The answer is soon....very soon! Cool

It was/is one of the best parts of my job. I should say, though, that I only create story for the Ninjago graphic novels -- the main story for the year does not come from me.

Hi Pacman - Yes, there will be more Ninjago sets next year, but I can't give away any story details. Not allowed.

So close. Joking

So that's why I loved Bio up until Stars!


I think that's not the only reason...

Okay I'm a huge fan of the Bionicle artwork I saw in one of the Brickmaster 2010 article. It looked really cool. Maybe if you had a 2010 LEGO Magizine The Best Of Brickmaster 2010 book you could find what I was talking about. Who did that artwork cause I love it! I even used the style in one of my drawings! I know it'll be hard to find what I'm talking about. Maybe you could get your hand on a copy of the March/April 2010 issue it wich it's in. Please reply!
