===============
Peyer wished everyone "Happy Klordny."
Peyer jokes that he is feuding with Roger Stern. Peyer claims
that all genuine Legion stories are set in the 20th century
because all LSH stories from 1958 to 1961 or so were set in the
20th century.
The Legion will make a guest appearance in IMPULSE #21, but the
story will not be a crossover. Impulse will also be appearing in
LSH.
Peyer stated that the creative team has tentatively planned ahead
for about a year and a half on LSH, but those plans are not solid
because he requires spontaneity.
McCraw indicated that the creators have steered off the direction
of the Silver Age stories that are being reprinted in the Legion
of Super-Heroes Archives.
Peyer claims that he's always leaving paradoxes for Roger Stern
to correct.
When asked "Boxers or briefs?" Peyer responded, "Depends."
Contrary to earlier reports, Kelley Jones will not be able to
pencil any of the pages for LSH #87.
There are no plans for Lightning Lord, but Peyer enjoyed writing
him.
It was KC Carlson's idea to give Nura Nal a "trippy" personality.
Peyer merely supplied the questions marks.
McCraw indicated that the creative team has talked about doing
some kind of "Girl's Night Out" story again. He thought a prom-
ish theme would be fun.
We will learn more about Star Boy's additional powers "soon next
year."
Peyer hinted that Deadman might have something to teach
Apparition in LSH #87.
Upcoming stories in the 30th century include some new members and
the return of some villains not seen for a long time. McCraw
indicated that Shadow Lass may return soon.
When asked if there were plans for Projectra, McCraw indicated
that there were no plans for the "Jeckie that was romantically
linked to Karate Kid."
There are Brainiac 4 plans in the works. McCraw doesn't think
there will be a Brainiac 6 because Brainiac 5 would not take the
necessary time.
McCraw emphasized that the decision to kill Leviathan was not
easy for the creators. Shrinking Violet's shouting in LSH #84
for the Eye to "Take me back!" will not resurrect Gim.
McCraw indicated that Shrinking Violet will continue to deal with
the Eye.

While that would be fun, I'd also enjoy seeing a Boy's Night Out.
Let me join the more Legion in their civies is a good thing group
(if such exists)

Anyone want to fill me in on who Deadman is?

That's cool. Of the few pre-boot characters I remember, I think I
liked Shadow Lass the most.

How long does he think it would take? <G>

Meaning she'll deal with the repercussions of what happened, or still
deal with the Eye itself. Either way, it's good.

Boston Brand, murdered circus performer, who was selected to act as a
ghostly agent of a mystic power. He can inhabit others bodies and
thereby control them.

Now I know who to track down and harangue. "Trippy"? Sheesh.

Supplying the raw materials for artificial insemination takes that long?
Besides, Brainy can multiplex. Have one track thinking pruriently,
have another thinking of how to get back at Lyle, have a third thinking
about new stargate technology, etc.

Deadman is the ghost of Boston Brand, a murdered circus acrobat recruited
by a supernatural force to roam from body to body setting right what went
wrong. Or at least he used to - I missed the 2 Deadman miniseries. He's
a good guy, anyway, and he is about as unlikely a Legion guest star as
there's ever been.

Well, if Brainiac 5 is like Brainiac 1, he'd need at least two weeks to
mix up the DNA and another two weeks to build a gestation chamber. Beyond
which, there's every indication that the whole Dox family is is need of
serious help, so why would the world want yet another member of the brood?
