========================
Matt Brady, the author of the article on the LSH in Wizard #59,
was present and indicated that the response to the article had
been positive. He indicated that further positive feedback sent
to Wizwo...@aol.com might increase chances of future Legion
articles.
Tom had finished the coloring proofs on Legion Archives volume 6.
Jeff observed that character deaths were sadly a fact of the
Legion.
Gates real name may show up soon.
The creators are discussing what Inferno's real name should be.
Plans have not yet been made for a Mary Marvel/LSH team up.
Tom would like to see Shadow Lass sometime--he'd like to color
her skin blue again.
Tom doesn't know if Timber Wolf will be normal or in furball form
when he shows up in the postboot.
Tom points out that Wildfire will be in the upcoming LSH annual.
He further observed that no one said the annuals were Elseworlds,
and that the Legion annuals were a little different. They have
put Legion characters in the Legion annuals.
Tom complimented Jeff on the sketches of new characters for L*
#43 that Jeff had done. Tom wouldn't identify the sketches, but
indicated that Tyroc was a bad guess.
The postboot Dream Girl will still foresee events in her dreams.
Her dreams will hint at future plotlines.
Superman will be the first guest star in the 20th century
storyline in LSH. The Deadman appearance was delayed to LSH #86
for the story's sake.
The Legion will be appearing in one of the Superman titles, but
Tom wasn't sure which title. Tom would like to see Stuart
Immonen draw the Legion again.
Editor Kevin Dooley stopped by the chat and announced that the
Legionnaires will be appearing in SOVEREIGN SEVEN and GREEN
LANTERN.
Tom indicates that Shvaughn Erin will be along to act as
adult/mentor for the Legionnaires in the 20th century. Tom
figures her age to be at least 22. She's the only 20th century
bound character that can drive.
Jeff observes that the 20th century characters will not stay in
the past. They will return to the 30th century.
Jeff thinks the better characters are going to the 20th century.
He'd like to keep Spark.
Apparition will show up again in LSH #83. Tom indicates that she
is not dead, never was dead, and still (sort of) has her powers.
She can fly and still go through walls. Her survival will be
explained eventually. LSH #86 will explain a lot.
Tom is glad that LSH #83 will come out after the Chicago
convention, but figures that there will be Previews at the con
for fans to review.
The 30th century team will be adding at least 4 new members after
the split. The characters will be mostly new faces.
