===============

Tom's first issue of LSH was LSH (v4) #1. That issue seems like
a long, long time ago for him.

Tom spends more time coloring than writing. He colors six books
and co-writes two.

Tom indicated that the creators are always constricted by the
annual themes, but they try to find a way to work around it.

Tom indicates that he's been getting a lot of questions about the
LSH Annual. A lot of readers were confused, and wanted to know
about the three pages of Wildfire's memories.

The creators may consider the three pages of Wildfire's memories
as canonical. The pages were done on purpose to raise questions
about the Legion's future.

When a fan complained that one panel of Princess Projectra was
not enough, Tom replied that they only teased fans a little.

The votes for Legion leader have been counted, but readers will
have to wait until L* #45 to find out the results. Just because
the revelation is being made in L* does not necessarily that one
of the L* members is the new leader. All members received votes
in the election. Gates got a good number of votes.

Tom is not allowed to tell anyone who won the election. His wife
has been pestering him for a week.

More votes were received by e-mail than through regular mail, but
there were a fair amount of each.

The Legion gets expanded in L* #43.

Expect a change in L* #42.

Tom likes Chuck Taine and Tenzil Kem the way there are, as
supporting characters. And he likes Lori the way she is after L*
#44.

Tom likes L* Annual #3, and indicated that XS will be meeting
someone special to her.
