I don't know if she's every elaborated on this before, but Gail Simone mentions her 4-issue run on the Reboot Legion that ended up becoming the end of the whole Reboot (with only the Titans crossover to cap it off, after the fact). https://bleedingcool.com/comics/what-really-happened-dan-abnett-andy-lanning-legion/"I was told DnA needed a short break so I agreed to do four issues, just a fun LoSH story. What actually happened was they ended DnA's run and ran my story as the final story in that run. It was not fair to DnA who had been doing a great job. That editor is long since gone but that was a really mean thing to do to the regular creative team. And it was the first time I'd ever been manipulated like that. Otherwise, I loved writing the story and the artists were incredible." Oof.

Oh, that Wacky Wacker! To think someone could actually do an even worse job editing the Legion than McAvennie!
Well, I may not be Gail's biggest fan but I certainly appreciate her sharing this.
Thanks, Alexander.
Still "Fickles" to my friends.

Yeah, it seemed pretty obvious at the time that both she and Keith Champagne were, if not outright deceived, at least not made aware o the fact that their Legion stories would basically be the tail end to the reboot continuity and not further followed up on. It's a really a shame, as both marked a significant uptick in quality from the last few DnA arcs, imo.

I only recently read the Champagne and Simone issues, and found them flawed yet overall decent.

Gail definitely set up a few things that could have been continued --
- introducing rebooted versions of Nightwind and Infectious Lass
- setting Karate Kid up with the Persuader's daughter
- Apparition and Winema reconciling
- the epiphany of Trudi Trusoe
- the wounding and potential death of Dr. Gym'll
as well as some good character work
it definitely was a step in the right direction
