=====================

Tom reported a a coloring goof in LSH #79 that he predicted everyone would
notice.  The seperators goofed up on Star Boy's hair in the two page spread
on pages 2-3.  (ED - I didn't spot it.)

Tom's first LSH issue was v4 #1.

Ron reports that his Showcase '96 story is pretty much set.  He needs to
hear final confirmation from KC Carlson.

The Empress likes killing.  Tom thought it was obvious.

Either Celeste or someone at Celeste's urging sabotaged the transporter in
LSH (v4) #42 so that it would not transport Brainiac 5's clothing.

Tom reports that Roger Stern seems to like being on the Legion creative
team, but he still won't change his name to Tom.

Tom would like to see a LSH/Metal Men crossover, but it's highly unlikely.

Infectious Lass has a bad cold and must stay in bed.

There are no plans for the Substitute Heroes right now, to Tom's regret.

Tom was cool to the idea of bringing back Charma, fearing that fans would
complain loudly about more boob girls.

There will be a few pages set in the LSH cafeteria soon.

Andromeda probably doesn't know that Brainiac 5 was jailed.  Tom pointed out
the irony of that.

Tom Peyer didn't warn Tom McCraw before introducing the points in
R.E.B.E.L.S. #17.

Work Force wasn't brought in to help with the Sun Eater because the Legion
doesn't really get along with Work Force and President Chu didn't ask Work
Force.  The real reason that Work Force wasn't invited was revealed in LSH #79.

Chameleon will surprise a few people real soon.  Tom hopes that Cham will
learn Interlac soon, but Tom Peyer seems to be having too much fun with
Cham's dialogue.  Cham is the Durlan religious leader right now, but Tom
isn't sure if he's a Pope.

Ferro is being saved for something better than the introduction of the Sun
Eater.  We won't see the "iron twins" soon.  (ED - The "iron twins" refers
to Andrew Nolan and Douglas Nolan, the preboot "Ferro" and his twin brother
with identical powers.)

For fans requesting downtime, Ron pointed to LSH #80.  There will be a
couple of short issue stories before the creators jump onto another big story.

The covers for LSH #80 and L* #37 have been withheld from AOL because they
spoil the stories.  Neither of them feature Apparition.

Tom pointed out that no one said Apparition was returning.  He quipped
"would we keep that from you?" then admitted that they probably would.

Dirk Morgna shows up in LSH #81.  He doesn't have a costume yet, and you
couldn't see it if he did.

Ron had just finished inking the scene where the Secret Admirer was
revealed.  He was finished with LSH #81, and was awaiting LSH #82.

Tom predicted some surprises in the Legion Rescue Squad.  One of the members
is female, and it isn't XS.
