February 21, 1995 « Prev • Next » Summariser Kevin Wohler Participants Tom Peyer Tom McCraw Jeff Moy K.C. Carlson

Tom Peyer, Tom McCraw, Jeff Moy and KC Carlson were the guests at the AOL
LSH Conference this week.  (Mark Waid was on his way to Australia to
attend a con there.)

Typical disclaimer - Believe all of this at your own risk.  While I think
that I've edited all the facetious material out or noted it in such a way
that you'll know it's a joke, please keep in mind that I'm not inside the
creators' heads.  Take everything with a grain of salt.


Star Boy was the representative from Xanthu mentioned in LSH #66.

The White Triangle members are from many different planets.  The White
Triangle is separate from the Dark Circle for now.  (Then, according to
Tom McCraw, they introduce the Pink Squares.)

Watch for Valor in Superboy.

Apparently the latest issue of Previews indicates that there is a traitor
to the Legion in issue #70.  The traitor has been seen in the book.

The theme for the LSH annual is secrets of the Legion.  The L* annual
wraps up most first year storylines with a bang.

No members will be joining until at least after issue 75.

The current arc features a villain that we already know.  (And, possibly
unrelated, the bald White Triangle guy isn't Black Mace.)

A Legionnaire will be losing his/her powers and leaving soon.

Leviathan was a part of the Tangleweb mission to allow him to make up for
the first Tangleweb mission.

Brainy and Lyle are involved in an extended story arc which may produce a
more mature Brainy.

Almost all of the pre-reboot Legionnaires have a possibility of showing up
at some point in the future.

The Legionnaires will age, but there are no plans to do it on a  rapid
basis.  (Sidne Ward and Tom McCraw had a very interesting discussion on
what would happen if a world sent a 35 year old rep.  During the
conversation, Tom speculated about Cham's age and whether Cham--as a
Durlan--was really a teenager.  My impression is that the discussion was
speculative, not authoritative.)  [ASIDE - This has always been a question
with Brainiac Five.  Legion Classic Colan longevity would seem to indicate
that a native who's physically at a stage similar to an Earth teenager is
probably much older.

KC Carlson would like to do a realistic issue of LSH or L* every once in a
while, but doesn't want it to turn into "a very special episode of
Blossom."
