I would like to see a back-up feature of 'lost' stories set back in the Legion's past with a rotation of favorite former Legion artists.

Bah. All those "favorites" are probably retired and living it up in Florida now. They haven't got time for us anymore!

I'm amused that Levitz says he can write quickly, because he remembers when it didn't pay well.
But I really have to learn to stop reading comment threads for these things. YouTube and the local newspaper should've taught me that long ago, but I keep forgetting...

It would be great if someone in the know could tell us how to pronounce his name. Is it fairly phonetic?
Amusing in this article that someone (I hope not Levitz) confuses "Lightning Boy" and "Cosmic Lad."
Some interesting tidbits suggesting 1) there's some new dynamics between the 3 founders, 2) Colossal Boy still has a connection to Mars, 3) we can expect to see Officer Erin and/or Officer Cusimano.
I'm not surprised, but it's good to know that Levitz wouldn't have "come back" to the reboot or 3boot Legion, even though he liked aspects of them. What's clear is that Levitz is completely comfortable playing with all of the past stuff, both the recent stuff by Johns, his own prior work, and the ancient history of the Legion. For Levitz, that's a huge resource, not a burden, and he views his responsiblity as a writer to make a Legion with all that history interesting to new readers. I don't know if he will succeed or not, but I think that's the attitude a Legion writer OUGHT to have.

^^^ Judging by the Gim-connection Levitz mentions I'd say it's more likely that it's SP Officer Gigi Cusimano who's making her long-awaited return.
If so, I wonder if that figures into the Legion marriage break-up that I think he hinted at in another interview? That would be unfortunate. This is the first time I've ever liked Yera and Johns really had me rooting for her reunion with Gim in his Action arc.
The "Lightning Boy" and "Cosmic Lad" moments in that interview were jarring. Those couldn't have been Levitz's errors could they?

GiGi was with Dirk for a while, too, wasn't she?
Gah. I know almost nothing about the Action stuff. I've got holes in my personal timeline the size of craters here. [sulk]
