===============
KC announced that sales on the Legion titles were steadily
increasing.
Ron had just finished inking LSH #89, which Jeff guest pencilled.
Jeff is currently pencilling L* #47.
Ron isn't happy with the art on LSH #87. It had three pencillers
and was late. Ron is particularly disappointed because the issue
marked his 50th issue on LSH. He's holding a contest in honor of
his 50th.
Jeff can usually draw about a page a day, depending on its
complexity. The 2 page spread in L* #43 took him a couple of
days. He was envious of John Byrne's ability to draw a page in
about 2 hours.
Jeff stated that only a few of the background characters in L*
#43 were based on real people.
Byrne claimed to have always had the mental image of Legionnaires
dangling from their flight rings by their fingers.
Jeff wondered if the Legion really needed Quislet.
Jeff observed that Live Wire will have to see how things go with
Saturn Girl before he gains a new love interest.
Insect Queen appeared on the cover to L* #43.
Jeff thought Sugar and Spike would have destroyed Legion HQ if
they'd been accepted onto the team. It was KC's idea to include
the characters; he'd always liked the teenaged Sugar and Spike
issue.
Jeff liked Lydda Jath's beehive hairdo.
Dreamer will be appearing again in the books soon. Jeff based
her look on sketches that Lee Moder drew.
Magno's costume is a maroon color.
Jeff indicated that he had become used to Sensor being a snake.
He indicates that fans will see that the snake is fun. Jeff
credited Roger for reintroducing Sensor as a snake.
Jeff hopes that Chameleon will not forget about Spark because of
Sensor.
Adding a wink, Jeff promised that Sensor would be able to spell
out words by shaping her body to represent individual letters.
Jeff indicates that he may get to draw the human Sensor, but
we'll mostly see her snake form.
The Legion won't be visiting Sensor's home planet of Orando yet.
Jeff was happy to receive feedback on Umbra's costume. He thinks
that the "S" will remain.
Ron stated that a talking rat appears in LSH #87.
Kinetix will get a new costume which will sport a semi-skirt.

Dear Lord, she changes outfits more than Janet Van Dyne!

This is great news, especially considering that the market in general
is steadily decreasing. I hope this isn't based on inflated Final
Night numbers, though.
>Magno's costume is a maroon color.
Again! What is it with magnetism and purplish colors? Cos, Dr.
Polaris, Polaris (Shi'ar), Magneto, Aura, Magenta, Magnetic Kid, Magno
... I suppose by now it's a tradition.

Just keep it away from Jeka. :-)

Going back to her first appearance, this should be no surprise.
And without Vi to play dress up with, she only has herself to
dress up.

And? Hey, I think it's refreshing to see someone who doesn't wear the
same costume for years at a time. When was the last time you saw a
costume change that wasn't a temporary gimmick thing?
Wonder if this means the Emerald Vi storyline's finally coming to an
end, though...

Fire changed costumes frequently in certain periods of JLA history.
I also liked the fact that Legion uniforms have often changed, and on
major characters (although there were a few that stayed the same
up until Computo handed out the new costumes.)

Are we talking Fire or Dan Jurgens Pod Person Fire?

Just as long as no new costumes look like the late v3 ones. Sheesh,
those were ugly...

That's great but I was hoping she would get at least a mention in the
story. Are we ever going to see her in action again? I'm losing hope.
