LSH: AOL Chat for 7/14/98: McCraw & Moy
Alex Tam
the guests on America Online's Legion of Super-Heroes Chat for Tuesday,
July 14, 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.
SUBSCRIPTIONS: To subscribe to these chat reports, send an e-mail to

PLUGS: To subscribe to Lev Kalman's humorous LSH pics, send an e-mail to

:=========================:
The creators usually plot six to nine months ahead.
Tom should start on recoloring CRISIS #10 this weekend. He's all done with
L* #1,000,000, with Keith Giffen's LSH #1,000,000 to follow.
Tom knows which Legionnaires will appear on the SUPERMAN cartoon, but Mike
McAvennie will be the one to make the announcement.
Jeff thinks we'll see the return of Dirk Morgna before we see Inferno.
Tom confirmed that Violet's official codename is "Leviathan."
Jeff knows that one Legionnaire is gay but isn't telling who it is. The
character should be outed eventually.
Tom said there will be a couple stories where Rokk gets into "a good scrap
or two."
Jeff describes the characters in the #1,000,000 issues as the "Vertigo
Legion."
Something happens to M'Onel in LSH #111.

However, with Rokk's magnetic powers, the scrap is easily disposed of.

OK, I should wait to see how they do this, but I'll have to go on record early
saying that this is bad. The writers are having a hard enough time giving the
characters personalities, I'm guessing that whoever is the gay one will have
that become their defining characteristic. Of Course, that's worst case
scenerio; if they could pull it off like Fade in the badly missed Blood
Syndicate then I'll go on record saying I was wrong.

This is good...I hope they aren't being all cutesy in the wording only to
have him end up in a couple of scrap heaps. I want some fights, dammit! (of
course this may be due to my recent exposure to the Cosmic Boy Death Page;)

The question is, did he mean that we've got one or both in the works, that
it's more likely someone will do the Dirk Morgna story, or that seeing
Dirk Morgna is insanely unlikely and seeing Inferno is even more insanely
unlikely?
>> Tom confirmed that Violet's official codename is "Leviathan."
>This is bad
This is cool. Has more pizazz than "Violet" and upholds the tradition of
reusing the codenames of the honored dead.
>> Jeff describes the characters in the #1,000,000 issues as the "Vertigo

Doing different things with the concept is good. It'd be kinda pointless
to do a Legion One Million that was exactly the same as the regular stuff.

Hopefully, he meant that they're definitely GOING TO
reintroduce Dirk Morgna. Oh please. oh please!
He's still the only major character from the early Adventure
years who has been "snubbed" in the sense that he is not a
regular cast member. This bugs me.

Ditto, Tom. I'm also hoping that the LSH appearence will boost the Triad's
popularity, which could only happen if.... >:-)
