Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business Matter-Eater Lad: The Series CHAT THREAD

*tee hee!*

Hey, I'm around all afternoon if you wanna wrap # 3 up today!

Next page is done!

Mine coming shortly-- gotta go get the laundry out of the dryer real quick--!

DONE!

I like the homage to old "test/competition" issues of the Legion; Dowal was certainly amusing to write (ad read!); Sun Boy and Thunder got in a little action; Poor Blast-Off and Insect Queen seemed to get the short end of the stick.

Zoe returning to HQ as the Legion's sexy nurse, maybe? I *really* like that idea. Ethel and the Emerald Eyes = real creepy. How long before she goes after the Empress' eye?

And we manage to touch on the Toonar/Calorie Queen/Dreamer/Uncle Sam/captured relatives subplots too. We space-rock and super-roll!

I was worried about Insect Queen and Blast Off getting ignored as well. I kept trying to come up with a way that IQ took Sun Boy's place in the punching scene, but it just seemed like Dirk was the perfect character to do it. And I expect *that* might have ramifications down the line as well.

Well, IQ has a spotlight issue slated; maybe she and Blast-Off can be on a mission together for that?

Yeah, Dirk was definitely the right one for the punch scene.

So I'm hanging out a while; want me to start up # 4?

Go ahead. Let's commit to getting this one out a little faster.

Seeing as I've been Commitment Boy lately, Sure! Let's do it!

I apparently, am sucking at commitments!

I'll hop to it this weekend though!

Jeepers! See that you do!

I can't wait to see how Uncle Space and crew apply good, old-fashioned, home-grown gumption to get down to the surface of Toonar!

Or how and if Tenzil and crew escape the Dominators!

And will Toonar be liberated or will the so-called "Beloved Hub of the United Plaents" be lost?

I'm such a fanboy!

Er... I think I'll be taking two pages, if you don't mind!

Jillikers! Go for it!

So who do I have to have sex with around here to get Eryk to write his next page? Jeepers!! I've been patient long enough! The time for tomfoolery and summer shenanigans is over, the time for hunkering down for a long fall/winter of slamming out MEL&tLSH scripts is now!

Jumpin' fishhooks! Now that Jim Lee's signed on as the new artist for Matter-Eater Lad and the Legion of Super-Heroes, I'm all ready to start churning them out.

New page coming soon!

I think Palmiotti and Gray have been reading MEL:TS! Evidence? UNCLE SAM AND THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS 1&2!

Well, there's a *bit* of a resemblance to Uncle Space and his recruiting, anyway.

Guess who's off to write a page of MEL&tLSH?

Finally.

Gray & Palmiotti were almost out of ideas!

Great Space! At the rate I'm blowing all of our top-secret surprise twists, we won't have nary a cliffhanger at all for the end of this issue!

I love how I beautifully set up that possible way for Lester to discover Tiffany was missing, only to have you beautifully deflate it on the next page!

Heh heh!

Well, I just let the final cat our of the bag in regards to the LSV!

While I just brought back the one character from MEL:TS that no one demanded!

I love the *POOP!* sound effect!

Jeepers! Now there were finally producing new pages, how long will it be before Cobie reads it?

He'd better get to it!

Meanwhile, I just reread MEL:TS # 20, the mega-sized 55-page final issue blowout, and it was HILARIOUS! What fun! Too bad we just didn't have room for the Stupid Stalag characters!
