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

Tom is happy with what cover colorist Patrick Martin has been
accomplishing with the covers.

Michael Collins is assisting in upcoming issues of LSH to get Lee
Moder back on schedule.  Michael is also pencilling LSH Annual
#7.

Colleen Doran is working on a fill-in issue for one of the Legion
books.

There are no plans for a Gates ongoing series yet.

There are no plans for Ferro in the Legion books.

Neither books' title will change to SUPERBOY AND THE LEGION OF
SUPER-HEROES.

Tom realizes that LSH #100 will occur in the year of the Legion's
40th anniversary.  He and Tom Peyer are already making plans for
that issue.  Tom promises that the issue will be something
special.

If Tom could redo anything about the postboot Legion stories,
he'd pace the Kinetix storyline better.

Tenzil Kem could kiss Andromeda without causing her any damage.
Andromeda probably wouldn't let Tenzil kiss her, let alone leave
a hickey.  If Tenzil bit Valor, he could probably break skin.

Tom is responsible for Invisible Kid still wearing a headband in
the postboot.  It's there for nostalgia's sake.  The "Death of
Invisible Kid" issue (S/LSH #203) was Tom's first issue.

Chemical King isn't dead in the postboot.

Roger Stern likes XS.

It's not in Ultra Boy's and M'Onel's immediate future to become
close friends.

M'Onel will use the new costume at least until something is done
about the fanatical level of Valor worship.  Tom misses the old
uniform somewhat, but he also sometimes misses Saturn Girl's pink
bikini.

The other Proteans may not be like Proty.

Tom was pleased that the coloring effect for Dirk Morgna in LSH
#81 had worked out the way he intended.

Tom would like to see Dirk become Sun Boy.

Love is in the air for the Legion.  They have a dating couple in
the works right now.

Tom intends to have fun with the "Spark's Secret Admirer" plot
line.  Jeff is the creator admirer of Spark.
