Oh, lord. They're cancelling LEGION. Again.

On the one hand, upcoming writer Gail Simone--and I suppose being written by her isn't a bad way to end your existence as a title--claims that DC has big plans for the Legion. So this presumably isn't it for them. On the other hand, what exactly the big plans might be...makes me nervous. (No, 'Rith, I don't think it's going to involve resetting to the end of the Magic Wars. Sorry.) Then again, maybe it just means "restart the title under Mark Waid." I could definitely live with that.

Also deeply amused by this quote from Simone in the interview: "Deserved or not, a lot of writers are scared to write Legion, because it has this reputation of being very very harshly defended by the hardcore fan base." Who? Us? Nah, they must have us confused with some other vehemently obsessive and argumentative group of fans... ;)

Yeah, I saw over on legionnaires. Upshot: Restart with Waid, good. Another reboot: bad.

I'm really wondering if they're going to try to tie it more closely to the modern DCU somehow. Which sort of misses the point, but...might draw readers. Dunno.

Eh. I'm not worried. It'll keep being published is the important thing. And I *seriously* don't see them doing a *third* reboot. Either they keep with the current continuity, or they go back to the original one. Either way, I'm happy. I get my Legion.

Probably the Green Lantern people..:P
