How different the LSH would of been? LSH needs a great writer to restore this group as a monthly comic.

Its my dream writer on my dream book. Apparently Hickman was just about to do it, as he attended a DC writer's retreat or somesuch. Also, apprantly he proposed a lot of writing ideas (involving the Legion and Lantern Corps, I heard) that he eventually used when he hopped to Marvel, incorporating them directly into the Krakoan X-Men stories. I heard is caused quite a bit of grumbling at DC, since they already made future plans with his ideas, which they then had to abandon. It isn't much of a stretch to look at what Hickman did with Moira McTaggart, then look at what Bendis did with Rose/Thorn, and see that Rose/Thorn was probably supposed to be the Moira of Hickman's original Legion story for DC.
