*As a note, Noah's mic had some trouble and did cut in and out at times. He did participate a lot in the Skype Chat so I have included some of his points brought up during the discussion.

“Noah Yuenkel: Its about human characters! We needed to establish a world to disrupt
Noah Yuenkel: we planned a tooooon of stories, there was gonna be that bike gang of sixth graders
Noah Yuenkel: we’ll be able to cover about 15% of the previously planned on page plot for the secret org
Noah Yuenkel: we had some directions we wanted, but ultimately Matt really made it happen (in regards to character design)
Noah Yuenkel: something... NEW
Noah Yuenkel: TERRIFYING: i’m still pretending people have just been guessing at how good it is. i am saving myself for the releases of issue 2 and 3 to get emotionally invested in the reviews and start yelling at commentators.
Noah Yuenkel: what, i mean
Noah Yuenkel: what yeah is there an argument?
Noah Yuenkel: i will watch ghostbusters 2 if it is on tv, whenever that happens because it’s great and fun but the first one, you know, WHO ARE THEY
