Interesting. That's all I can say about the last few paragraphs.

As for the spoiler artwork and Gail's comments...good stuff!

Oy! Must they start with a new #1 every time a new creative team takes over?

Feh!

P.S. The Greg Land cover is super-keen, jelly bean!!!!

I suspect this is just so they can have a new Legion of Super-Heroes #1 for Waid.

I *hope* anyway - if the Legion is ever cancelled for real, they're screwed more than any other comic series. Given the at-most-tangential links to the DCU, anyone reviving the series after any sort of hiatus could do *anything* to it, from rebooting again to the 5YG-on-crack.

At least it looks like the final issue has an absolutely beautiful cover.

Yeah, but you actually gave a link to the story itself.

Jen's been guilty of sensationalist reporting before. She hyped the Darkseid "appearance" during Dream Crime as "the real thing", which I felt ended up cheapening his actual use in Foundations. I don't have any worries about Legion continuing, "Chicken Little" reporting aside.

And my beautiful clown! I agree. Yet another #1. I hope having yet another relaunch is worth it.

Maybe I got mixed up. I was under the impression that Nowlan's was 37, Land's was 38. Perhaps it was just that I saw the KN one first.

And don't you think it's getting odd that the first cover (the AH! one) is the only one we haven't seen yet? Is he stretching his deadlines or something?

If I may be a "chicken little" voice...,

I think the series is done. We're assuming Waid/Kitson are relaunching LSH. Why? Because of a Simone "slip-up" in a previous interview? I keep asking, why hasn't DC announced their long-term plans for The Legion? Waid/Kitson taking over The Legion (or relaunching LSH, choose whatever phrasing you wish) is either the WORST kept secret in comicdom....

or we can take Wacker at his word, "this book is cancelled." None of Wacker's comments suggest a re-launch. You want to tell me that he's being a tease? The re-launch will be announced in San Diego or a bit later? Sure. Maybe. That a pretty $#!&*@ way to treat readers, in my opinion.

Simone's comments also don't directly suggest a re-launch: "I know DC has some huge Legion plans, and what I know about them is amazing. Ours ties in a bit with that, in ways that won't be completely obvious right away, but it's also just big crashing fun on its own." Well, if Waid/Kitson were re-launching LSH where Simone left off, that would be "tieing in" a little more than "a bit", don't you think?

I starting to think Waid/Kitson are re-launching L.E.G.I.O.N.
