Because of the screening process, it's now white rather than
blue.

do have some of the same influences.

There isn't a formal Legion summit scheduled for this year.

Jeff is currently working on Legionnaires #40.

KC shot down Jeff's idea to produce a Legion comic strip for the
books' letter column.

One comic that Jeff would like to work on that he hasn't yet is
FANTASTIC FOUR.

There are no plans for any members of the Legion of Substitute
Heroes yet.

Jeff hadn't yet his the writeup on Moy tongues that appeared in
the DC books that shipped the first week of April.

POWER OF SHAZAM penciller Peter Krause attended, and Jeff
persuaded him to start inserting tongues into his illustrations. 
Legion fan Sidne Ward suggested an all-tongue theme for the 1997
DC Annuals, and Jeff thought the idea was amusing.

Krause seemed interested in the possibility of a Mary Marvel/LSH
crossover.

Peyer is interested in doing a Klordny celebration issue at some
point.

Tom thinks Computo would be cool, but wants to keep it away from
Triad.

The readers don't get to vote on the Legion leader quite yet.

Karate Kid will be showing up again soon.  Tom promised that
Karate Kid won't be killed anytime soon.

One of the characters gets a new costume in L* #37.  Jeff thinks
some readers will be unhappy about the new costume.

Jeff also predicts that some readers won't like the cover for L*
#37.  KC will reveal the cover on AOL this Tuesday, April 9th.

Almost all of the team--more than a dozen--remain with the team
after L* #37.  Gates doesn't want to stay.

Saturn Girl returns to Titan in L* #37.

Live Wire may have to give up his powers to regrow his arm.  The
new arm will be explored in L* #38.
