1) Co-writing is still writing; it's just writing in collaboration with another. Eastman's been billed as the co-writer the entire time.
2) Eastman is also providing page layouts, which means he's going to be largely responsible for the storytelling in the comics. Panel arrangement, individual panel composition -- this is storytelling. It's essentially a barer-bones version of pencilling that the primary penciller then draws on top of (indeed, some artists go straight from layouts to the ink stage). This is a hugely integral part of the artistic process.
Needless to say, both co-writing and providing layouts are
far more significant than simply "contributing ideas."
