Legion Insider #034
According to Gizmodo, Ghostbusters’ Stay Puft Marshmallow Man would have weighed in at about 3,870,000 lbs. By our calculations (our very scientific “google the weight of one marshmallow” calculations) that’s 61,920,000 regular sized marshmallows-- enough mega-mallow to make 38 smores for every one of Manhattan’s 1.6 million residents. Sweet, now that we’ve got all that useful info calculated —
The Calculations Keep Coming
Earlier this summer, Legion M partnered with the team at OneDoor Studios to bring Calculated to the screen. It’s Legion M’s first young-adult project, and it’s growing up FAST. As of this week we’ve surpassed $1.25 million in investments for the project. (This most recent number comes from the team at OneDoor and may not be reflected on the Wefunder page yet.) With these funds raised, we’re now actively searching for screenwriters to make movie magic out of Nova McBee’s fantastic novels. So if you’re a really great screenwriter, be on the lookout for an email titled “ATTN: Do you like a lot of money?”
The Man In The White Van
Speaking of great emails, if you’re an investor in Legion M, yesterday you may have received a secret email with some exciting news. We’ve only got one thing to say about it here… “Pretty cool, right!?” For everyone else, don’t worry, we’ll be making public announcements in the coming weeks.

Here’s Looking At You, Cheddar
The rumor about Cheddar Goblin is true. What? No, the other rumor — Cheddar Goblin mac and cheese will be leaving the Legion M Store. Now you might be thinking: “do I have a problem if I eat mac and cheese for dinner every night?” Yes — at that pace, you are in serious danger of running out of Cheddar Goblin. Stock up before it’s Gobblin’ Gone for good! (Save big when you buy in bulk, $1.85/box when you order a 24 pack as compared to $4.44 for single box orders).
Darknights and Daydrinks
Check out this hero sandwich! Indiegogo backers Terri and Kristopher sat down with none other than The Boy Who Loved Batman himself, Batman Executive Producer Michael Uslan, for an exclusive lunch in NYC as part of “The Ultimate Hero” perk. Thank you Terri and Kristopher for your super-support of our Broadway hopeful!
"Best 'business' lunch I’ve had in the last couple of years, as I had the opportunity to geek out for over two hours with my fellow fans, talking comics, movies, animation, and maybe even one or two upcoming things we shouldn’t really have been talking about! What happens in Legion, stays in Legion!"
-Michael Uslan.

AMA Replay
Unless you’ve been living in Hull’s Hole, you know all about The Empire’s Ruin and the kent-kissing AMAs we’ve produced with author Brian Staveley all summer long. You also probably know all about his writing process, secrets to be revealed in later books, and how far he can pull a ride-on lawnmower with his bare hands. Oh, you don’t know how far he can pull a ride-on lawnmower with his bare hands? You’re missing out. Find out in our FINAL AMA with Brian here.
