LSH: AOL Chat for 3/26/98: Jeff Moy
Alex Tam
Jeff Moy (L* penciller) was the guest on America Online's Legionnaires Chat
for Thursday, January 26, 1998. Legion of Super-Heroes Chat takes place
every Tuesday in the DC Comics Online area of AOL at 6:00 PM EST.
Legionnaires Chat is held every Thursday in the same area at 10:00 PM EST.
(Keyword: CHAT DC.) Regular guests include Tom McCraw, Jeff Moy, Jason
Armstrong, Ron Boyd and Mike McAvennie.
Thanks to T. Troy McNemar who originated the Legion Chat Reports; so much
of the format of these writeups was derived from his hard work.
DISCLAIMER: I can't guarantee the reliability of this report. Essentially,
the Legion chats involve about twenty-five fans shouting repeated questions
to the creators. The creators are sometimes unable to answer questions
thoroughly or clarify their responses. As a result, misinterpretations may
occur on my part.
SPOILERS: Information that spoils current or upcoming issues is found
toward the end of this report. There's no spoiler space to separate such
info from the more general comments.

:=========================:
It took Jeff a little over a week to draw twelve pages from L* #64. He's
taking a break by vacationing in Whistler, BC.
Jeff thinks it's a "very very very thin chance" that Inferno might be the
Time Trapper. Inferno isn't returning to her own time soon.
It's not likely that there will be any Superboy and the LSH mini or ongoing
series.
The creators have decided that Tinya will keep the black stripes on the
arms of her costume.
It'll be a while before Ferro is a daredevil again (if that happens); he
still needs time to develop.
Magno isn't getting his powers back anytime soon, but it's always a
possibility.
There won't be new Legionnaires for a while. The same goes for any new
non-villain characters, other than Thunder.
Jeff said that RJ Brande is not the Martian Manhunter.
Jeff noted that the Legion books will feature "lots of intrigue" after this
month's two-part timeslip story. None of the preboot Legion is sticking
around after that story.
Jeff has plans for the return of Catspaw. He also suggested that "Sex
Kitten" would be her postboot name. "I'm a sick, sick man," he added.
Jo's shades in LSH #104 were a fashion statement; he doesn't have any
visual problems. Jeff won't be drawing those glasses on Jo.
Jeff isn't "telling yet" whether Kono is now a villain, or just mischievous.
Due to the anomaly, Laurel is now among the shortest of the past or present
Legionnaires, and Brainy will be more accepting of Koko. Jason Armstrong's
version of Laurel's new costume is the intended one; no reason was given as
to why Alan Davis drew it differently on the cover. The new looks of the
anomaly-altered Brainy, Laurel, and Zoe will remain "permanent" (i.e., for
the foreseeable future), but Laurel will also wear a nun costume again.

Jeff! Think Daytona Beach! Lots of bikinied women who'll go nuts over
your drawings!

Yeah, Jeff sure! Then why did you draw her studying that Advanced Chronal
Theory text?

Okay, rent out her room!

Blast! How about Superboy *starring* the Legion of Super-Heroes?

But eventually, they'll evolve into black armbands of mourning.

Isn't being a Legionnaire being a daredevil? Egad, have you looked at the
life insurance premiums that that the companies are charging Brande?!?
>Magno isn't getting his powers back anytime soon, but it's always a

Magno can be a daredevil.

How 'bout old Legionnaires?
>The same goes for any new non-villain characters, other than Thunder.
Thunder!?! Thunder's never going to show up! Carlin ate her!
>Jeff said that RJ Brande is not the Martian Manhunter.
We don't believe you, Jeff! We'll have to administer the Oreo Test!
>Jeff noted that the Legion books will feature "lots of intrigue" after this

Notice that Legion stories never have a smidge of intrigue?
>None of the preboot Legion is sticking around after that story.
Their Union brought in a bad negotiator. They're barely getting scale.
>Jeff has plans for the return of Catspaw. He also suggested that "Sex

This is news?
>Jo's shades in LSH #104 were a fashion statement; he doesn't have any

That's because Jeff barfed on the page when he saw them.
>Jeff isn't "telling yet" whether Kono is now a villain, or just mischievous.
Maybe she'll be dead? Dead would be good for her.
>Due to the anomaly, Laurel is now among the shortest of the past or present
>Legionnaires, and Brainy will be more accepting of Koko.
Er, can we put her back in the anamoly?
>Jason Armstrong's

But the phrase "I'm not drawing commando pants!" was heard from that side
of the Atlantic.

Is there a special rosary that matches commando pants?

She's a villain. Who else would let loose a horrid Durlan!

The Incredible Shrinking Laurel! I have to say that this a weird development.
I'm intrigued by the Anomaly story, but it's getting weird.

It took me an hour to draw the cat from under the couch. I'm now
vactioning at work...

This is it the sign S.E.A.T. (Sandy's Exploding Attack Team) have been
waiting for! Inferno *is* the Time Traper!

Except, of course, the one that alrweady exists... Or have ret-conned
those comics our of existence as well as their stories...?

And use them as a weapon, in times of crisis!

See, that's why Marz should be writing the LSH. Character development
happens between panels with him... Except Kyle. Kyle's gonna take
another 100 issues to develop a personality.
> Jeff said that RJ Brande is not the Martian Manhunter.
Though it was hard to read what he was writing, since he had his fingers
crossed.

So just XS, Gates and Kinetix?

And her costume...?
>"I'm a sick, sick man," he added.
Sure, that's easy to say... but until I see it in a comic, I won't believe
it.

Or a mischevous villain.

That's just sick.

and Brainy will dress as the naughty schoolboy...

I heard it was Rabid Ancient Traditionalist. Or RAT.

Won't they get a little suspicious if hlaf the ng turn up claiming to be
Jeff?

Look, the fact of the matter is this: Eventually, every member of the LSH
will be the Time Trapper.

You think that MacCauley hasn't been?

No... "Clone 13 and the Future Teens!"

Only for that joke...

Sure, but they're fairly reasonable compared the the ones you have to pay
if you're a member of the SP. Or on a non-UP planet just prior to a major
LSH arc...

Yeah... he could study law, and then knock some turtles out of a young
boys arms while he jumps in front of a truck carrying chemicals to save
an old man's life. That'd make him a Daredevil.
> >The same goes for any new non-villain characters, other than Thunder.

Sure... she's got to be in the "Waiting For Thunder" arc, right?

The creators have decided to get rid of them, and get new ones. They
claim no one will notice.

No. Real news would be what "Sex Kitten I'm a sick sick man" will be
shorten to by the rest of the Legion. I vote for "SICKY"
