February 01, 1995 Next » Summariser T. Troy McNemar Participants Tom McCraw Jeff Moy

I spent some time on AOL earlier this afternoon in an online chat with 
Tom McCraw & Jeff Moy.  They were annoying coy about upcoming plans for the 
book.  After donating $6 to the cause, I can only pass on a few tidbits:


Spoilers?

- If I read Tom's doublespeak correctly, Star Boy will be the next 
Legionnaire.  Whoever it is, he or she will have a cape.  (But admit it, 
wouldn't Tenzil look great with a cape?)

- No immediate plans for Jan, but the "Alchemist" name isn't highly regarded 
by Tom

- No immediate plans for Dirk

- Chuck isn't being dismissed as a possibility. Tentative new codename is 
Rebound.  (Rather than Kurt Busiek's Image-like suggestion, "Deathboing")

- Tom attempted to put off speculation that Zoe was somehow involved with 
the Emerald Eye.  But his statement was rather suspicious, something to the 
effect that they'd never said that Zoe was tied to the Eye.  They didn't say 
that she wasn't, either.  Read into that one what you will.

- Jeff Moy is going to miss two straight issues of Legionnaires in the near 
future.  He's not doing #25, but he had just finished #26 today.  (For those 
of you who wonder how far ahead these things work.)

- Moy's also doing a Spark pin-up page for the Legionnaires annual

AOL hosts Legion chat every Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. Eastern time.  Tom said 
he'd be there again next week, and I'd be happy to ask any question that 
you'd all like me to.  Nevertheless, I wouldn't expect much information to 
be shared candidly.
