This is normal cat behavior, attempting to show who's in charge of the
place. 
Hissing is to be expected; discourage swatting, but if the cat hisses, let
him
hiss.

It's also recommended that when you introduce a new cat into a household,
you
spend a lot of time petting the old cats in the presence of the new one,
paying
as much attention to them as you can.  This calms them down and helps them
understand that they're not being outsourced.

They may have been miffed about my not participating in the documentary, so
they just left that stuff out.  Which is okay.

I've generally declined to do much "expert" discussion of Spidey or comics
writing because I think I'm still sufficiently new at it that it would be
an
act of surpeme ego to try and come off as an expert on...well, anything
related
to this.  Which is why I passed on being interviewed for this documentary
(I
also don't know New York well enough), as well as the first Spidey DVD and
a
couple of books about Spidey writers.  I finally agreed to be interviewed
for
the second Spidey DVD if I could talk mainly about the character and my
thoughts about him, rather than spouting off about the writing or being a
big-shot.  Once I've done it for a few more years, I'll feel a little
better
about being an Expert.

I'm on Spidey 514 and Supreme Power 14 (funny how it works out that way),
and
issue 3 of Strange.

Wouldn't be my call, it would be Marvel's, and I don't think they'd want me
to
do that.

>3) Are current Events in spiderman leading to that future?

Inch by inch, yeah...hence Lamont's question about getting the chemical
composition of his webbing.

>4)Do you have an ending in mind for Supreme Power? Many Many issues
>down the road do you now what that last page is?

I know the ending, but not necessarily the last page.  SP is, however,
intended
to be an ongoing series, so that ending may never manifest itself.

>5) If the Strange limted series is a success would be the one to

That's a Marvel call.

>6) You mentioned in Hawthorne a new series called the book of lost
>souls is there anything more you can say about that?

We're trying to find the right artist for the book so we can get moving.

Difference is that Spidey's been around for decades, and nearly every story
has
been told in one way or another, so there's not much that can be added from
the
discussions that could be said to be owned by the poster...as opposed to
something brand new that is still being shaped.  Also, I don't own Spidey,
didn't create it, so I'm in a less vulnerable position.
