Thanks for expanding many of the characters' personalities more, and not having everybody be so nice all the time.
hanks for making me like characters like Chameleon, Umbra, Star Boy, M'Onel, Kid Quantum, Dreamer, Spark, Gear, Monstress, Sensor. Even though Kinetix, Element Lad, Live Wire may have suffered, at least you did more good than harm in the end.

I believe history will look favorably upon DnA's run, despite expressions of relief that they are leaving the title (relief I have expressed myself even).
Points in their favor:
a) LEGION LOST saved the title from near-assured cancellation.
b) Bringing in new artistic talent such as OLIVIER COIPEL, who brought a look to the Legion its never had before (read: IMAGE-style splash but with substance). Not to mention the plethora of talent that adorned LEGION WORLDS.
c) Who can forget the first few issues of the current THE LEGION series? One cliffhanger ending after another... I quite remember that just about everyone was blown away by those first 6, 7, 8 issues.
d) THE LEGION 31, a comedic issue with LSH legend Keith Giffen, which marked a favorable turnaround for me, a nice way to begin the end of DnA's stories.
While its true I am ready for something different and have been for probably a year, I will never deny DnA's place in the Hall of Unforgettable Legion Creators!

I think DnA should be thanked for at least trying to fix many of the things that were wrong with the previous creative team's run.
They'll most likely be remembered for their one really classic Legion story (Legion Lost), and for their one original Legionnaire (Shikari).
The idea of 'The Second Galaxy' may survive them for the long term as well.
Overall, while hardly in the top tier of Legion creators, I think their place in the second-tier is firmly secured.

Another hearty thank you to DnA! While lately I haven't been biting my nails in anticipation for the next issue, they've hardly been horrible. In fact, it was DnA's work on the title (especially Legion Lost and the start of the new Legion series) which was almost the only time I couldn't wait for the next issue of the Legion in my short (8 years) of reading!
As others have said, they definitely rejuvinated the title. I know it wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I appreciate the attempt, gamble, and hopefully pay-off with the launched 'The Legion' title. I'm also greatful for the introduction of Shikari and Timber Wolf, and the work they put in on Dreamer, Wildfire, Monstress, and many others!
They had a great spark and took a huge risk at the beginning of the work...and even if that spark has faded a little, it's definitely brought in some new fans and set up a deep canvas for the next team. I'm glad it was lit, looking back now.
I'm ashamed to say that I *am* ready to move on to another writing team, due to my love for Gail Simone and Mark Waid. However, that doesn't mean I don't appreciate Dan and Andy for their work. Thank you, thank you.
