Tom McCraw (LSH/L* co-plotter/colorist), Roger Stern (L* co- plotter/scripter) and Jeff Moy (L* penciler) were the guests on America Online's Legionnaires Chat for Thursday July 11, 1996. Legion of Super-Heroes Chat is held every Tuesday in the DC Comics Online area of AOL at 6:00 p.m. EST. Legionnaires Chat is held every Thursday in the same area at 10:00 p.m. EST. (Keyword: DC CHAT.) Regular guests include Tom Peyer, Tom McCraw, Roger Stern, Mark Waid, Jeff Moy, Ron Boyd, KC Carlson and Mike McAvennie.

SPECIAL THANKS - To Tom McCraw, Andrew Woodard and Edward Douglas for providing a copy of the chat log from which this report was generated. =============== The voting deadline for Legion leader was extended due to the printing error that omitted the lettercol from LSH #83. Roger states that DC is planning a company wide tribute to Curt Swan in the books. He wasn't sure if the Legion would be doing an extra tribute. Tom reports that he screamed in horror when he saw the cover to IMPULSE #17. Roger thought that LSH Archives #6 would include stories from ADVENTURE COMICS #350 through #358. Rather than a third title, Roger would prefer to see the Legion titles return to the newsstand with a $1.75 price tag. Tom related Paul Levitz's remark at Chicago that the Legion titles would need to see approximately 25,000 more copies per month to warrant a third title. Tom indicated that a little over a year had passed for the Legion since the reboot. Roger thought that less than a year had passed. No word yet on Universo. Tom thought Tenzil Kem should have his own cooking show. Roger suggested a Tenzil Kem versus Galactus crossover. No official founding date has been made canon for the postboot Legion. No romance is brewing between R.J. Brande and Winema Wazzo. Or as Jeff said, "Yuck!" The creators have plans to address the election depending on whether a 20th century or 30th century character wins the election. Tom had not yet seen any of the voting totals. KC was apparently surprised by the number of votes after the first week. Tom suggests that Dr. Regulus overloaded Dirk Morgna and caused him to expel all of his energy. Tom always thought that Quicksand and Holdur were unique characters, and that's part of why he used them in SHOWCASE '96 #8. Tom indicates that we will see both Leviathan and Shrinking Violet in the next L* issue, but warned not to ask how. Jeff misses Leviathan. Roger indicates that we're supposed to miss Leviathan--that means that the creators are doing their job right. Roger protested that Dr. Regulus killed Leviathan. Tom indicated that if not for the Emerald Eye that the whole sequence of events leading to Leviathan's death might have happened differently. Tom predicts that fans will be happy with L* #43. Lots of characters are showing up. After FINAL NIGHT, the 20th century Legion will meet Deadman and have a two part crossover in SHOWCASE '96 #11 & #12. Ferro is Andrew Nolan--not Douglas. Roger hopes that Ferro will last longer than one month after being reintroduced in conjunction with FINAL NIGHT. Roger's favorite character this week is XS, and that's why she's starring in the L* Annual. He wasn't sure whether she'd keep the spot after the new Legionnaires joined.
