SPECIAL THANKS - To Edward Douglas for providing the chat log from which this report was generated. ====================== Mark's Legion trivia: (1) Which member of the Legion of Substitute Heroes was first offered Legion membership? (2) Who was the first Sub to actually join the LSH? Peyer named his new puppy "Lucy". Peyer's and Mark's Superman arc begins in ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #536. Peyer is also working on an Impulse issue with Mark, and a Superman special. There will be a glimpse of L.E.G.I.O.N. and Vril Dox in Showcase '96 #11. The Showcase story is a two parter, and is 36 pages long. Maybe plans for Ferro; No plans for the Substitute Heroes; Why do we keep asking if Apparition is coming back; and No plans for a third Legion title at this time. McCraw believes that all the former Legion characters will probably return in time. Mark was curious as to whether anyone wanted to see an Impulse/Legion crossover. Peyer could not say who Phase is. The question will be resolved. The Underworld/Neron/Dox dangler will be dealt with. Neither Tom knew of any plans for a GREEN LANTERN crossover. McCraw indicated that fans would be disappointed if they wanted a GL crossover. Peyer said that he's not opposed to a GL story if the idea is good. Mark believes that the disputed figure in KINGDOM COME is Dream Girl, not Andromeda. The Legion has no further appearances in KINGDOM COME after the first issue. Inferno will meet Dirk Morgna. McCraw thought that it could be fun to have the Legion meet Pete Ross and Lana Lang. We'll see more of the Hag. There will be some nods to preboot continuity during the 20th century storyline. Cosmic Boy will be one of the Legionnaires trapped in the 20th century. The creators will not be revealing any more of the 30th century members. The Legion will meet Impulse. There are plans for Insect Queen, but not Elastic Lad. According to Peyer, "At least one 20th century hero will join the Legion." And, "they keep this hero." The character will kind of be a mixture of new and established. After the split, at least one new member will join the 30th century team.
