===============
The LSH mini series that follows INFERNO will be entitled LEGENDS
OF THE LEGION.
The 20th century Legionnaires appear in SUPERBOY #45.
KC was polling fans to determine whether "Makeovers" for the
Legionnaires was a good idea. He cited the change from Princess
Projectra to Sensor as an example of a "Makeover." He further
asked how fans would react if they put a character through a
reality warp and they came out different.
Jason's favorite Legionnaires are Ultra Boy and Apparition. He
also likes Andromeda.
Jason's first set of rough pencils were due on Wednesday. He was
having fun pencilling, but observed that there were a lot of
characters to include in every panel. He told a Saturn Girl fan
that the pages featured lots of Imra.
KC indicated that they're considering bringing back Grimbor, but
are looking for a way to make him less "kinky." Tom stated that
he never liked Charma.
Tom observed that Live Wire, Spark and Leviathan are all 14 years
old.
Chameleon is featured on the cover to L* #55 which takes place
during DC's "big head" month. He was chosen in part because they
wanted a somewhat alien head that defines the Legion. The
creators felt that Chameleon was somewhat more representative
than Sensor.
Tom promised that Ultra Boy and Apparition are married. He
observed that Tinya is 17 and Jo is 18. Tom wondered why anyone
would marry a dead person and joked that it would kill the
honeymoon.
Jason promised character development in upcoming issues.
The "H" Dial (as in "Dial 'H' for Hero") will be appearing in L*
#53.
KC indicated that they would be dealing with the link between
Apparition and Phase soon.
Tom promised that alien races would be coming up after LSH #100.
Jeff joked that they should catalogue the races in the issues
that they have.
The title to LSH #99 is "Duo Damsel."
