Tom McCraw and Jeff Moy were the guests at AOL's Legion Chat for
Tuesday, February 28, 1995.
AOL Legion chat takes place every Tuesday night/afternoon at 6:00 p.m.
EST. Occaisional guests include Mark Waid, Tom Peyer, Tom McCraw,
Jeff Moy and KC Carlson.
TYPICAL DISCLAIMERS - Take this with a grain of salt. All of it is
subject to change and/or being wrong.
And, as you may have noticed in prior weeks, I will repeat things that
the creators have said in previous chats if they say it again. (Did
that make sense?)
Jeff Moy indicated his belief that L* #24 is shipping on time. (Tomorrow
as I write this.)
The way transuits work will be described in the LSH annual. It involves
ultra-sonic vibrations. (Explaining why Laurel can do the heat-vision
thing.)
Adam Hughes is doing a pin up for one of the annuals.
Jeff is currently working on the Legionnaires annual. He's drawn up
to page 20. Garth appears therein.
The end of LSH #69 was not supposed to have been included in the pages
at the NYCon. The final pages were supposed to have been yanked. To
quote Tom McCraw, "Big oops!"
About Imra's fate: Imra is said to be in good hands. They will show
one of her instructors. She will recover. [Tom added . . . "but not
for long."]
Imra is *not* the person who is going to lose her powers in the LSH annual.
The comment that it might be Ayla was met with the response - "You're
getting cold." Zoe was also mentioned as a possibility. [Speculator
corner - Based on trying to read between the lines of what was actually
said, I think that it will probably be Zoe. But you may remember that
I'm the lamebrain who incorrectly told you that Mon-El was coming back
a few weeks ago.]
Gleek was the name of the Wonder Twins' monkey on Super-Friends. [Hey!
It came up!]
They have plans for Lyle, but they're going to have to wait awhile.
LSH #70 is a Laurel/Brainy spotlight.
Garth is still interested in finding Mekt. They're going to wrap up
his problems real soon. ["Soon," as always, being a relative term.]
Tom is tinkering around with the Legion of Substitute Heroes. The
Wanderers are probably a few years off.
The LSH/Superboy crossover starts in Superboy #17. It will affect how
the Legionnaires pair off into couples. [Tom thinks Lu would fall for
Valor over the clone.] Tom wanted to dust off the old "Superboy
starring the Legion of Super-Heroes" logo to use at least inside the
issue.
Lu will fall for someone and have her heart broken.
Tom's first Legion issue (reading-wise, that is) was S/LSH #203. (He
said #204, but it was clear that it was Lyle's death that he was
referring to.)
They'll follow up with Tinya's mom.
Jeff Moy: "Look in next issue for Valor." (I doubt that means a Valor
appearance, and I don't know if he meant L* #24.)
More Legionnaires' parents will be seen in future issues.
The LSH lettercol will be back in LSH #68. [This one comes up a lot.]
Mike McAvennie will do the lettercols for both LSH and L*.
Star Boy was the representative of Xanthu that crashed off-panel before
LSH #66, and needs to recover before he joins the team.
Tom and Jeff would really like to see a line of Legion action figures.
[Tom and I argued as to whether there should be 3 separate Lu figures.
He wants one figure that pulls into 3 women.]
Tom indicated that the death rule in the pre-reboot Legion constitution
will be examined after the L* annual. [Adding "[hint]" after his comment.]
Tom pitched LSH (v4) #42 as an idea and it was accepted. The Luornu/B5
belt thing "was a bit of a problem that was dumped on [Tom]."
Gim represents Mars.
We'll be seeing old aliens. [This is a comment that Jeff made. I couldn't
tell _when_ we'd be seeing old aliens, or exactly what he meant.]
The LSH will possibly crossover in the upcoming company-wide "Underworld"
crossover.
Jeff wanted to draw the Composite Superman on the cover to L* #25
(which features a Durlan villain with the powers of all the Legionnaires),
but KC rejected the idea.
Tom would like to see Curt Swan do a Legion issue again.
In repsonse to a question about whether the Legionnaires would get to
choose their own members soon, Tom replied that the Legion "already has
friends that they'd like to see join."
We will definitely recognize 3 villains that are coming up soon. One
will be in the L* annual.
Hints given as to one of the villains: From the pre-Shooter Adventure
days and human-looking. It's not the Time Trapper. [My money's on
Lightning Lord.]
