Has Final Crisis really happened, or was it just a dream Pamela Ewing had just after she dreamt that Bobby was dead? Uhm...
... okay as for old villains reimagined, I'm still waiting for a Doctor Mayavale story done right! The first important task would be to get a decent artist this time who would do the bondage scenes right
Maybe he could team up with Grimbor?
Don't blame me for letting my mind go astray, at least this idea would be more original than the umteenth battle with Mordru...

I kind of liked that Mordru was redeemed back in the day, restored to a kind of child-like innocence. It seemed like real character development (along with the developments with Mekt), and Johns pretty much destroyed it for the sake of giving them cameos as part of his Legion of Prime Worshippers.

That's a long time ago... was it after Giffen left 5YL?
I personally liked the redemption of Lightning Lord. Him being a friend in 5YL was kinda nice to see - of course, Johns undid that one as well, though he was not the first - in the end, it was Waid and his henchmen who undid all those character developments with Zero Hour...

He was wiped in pre-Zero Hour Legion, indeed. And DC is to blame for reboot, not necessarily Waid.

I look at it though and the list of artitst that have said they would do the Legion again or like to work on it, is an impressive one.
#1. Mike Grell has said he'd do it again.
#2. Keith Giffen has said he'd do the Legion again.(he wasn't clear on writing or art though).
#3. Jim Lee has said he'd like to do the Legion(although he might have satisfied his urge after working with Levitz on that one story and he's not exactly great at meeting deadlines).
#4. Dan Jurgens has said he's always wanted to work on the Legion regularly and the only reason he's never done it regularly is because he was never asked to. Dan Jurgens is a Legion fan from way back as evidenced by his letters in old 70' s Superboy lettercols...he's an extremely under-rated artist who is extremely fast, and can change his style within his style like few others, and he definitely has a classic clean style.
#5. Oliver Copiel has said he'd like to return to the Legion someday(I was hoping for he and JMS to get a stab at this Legion). He might be the one dirty artist who can pull off the Legion....he was my favorite artist of all the post Crisis Legion artists.
Nice list I'd like to add Gene Gonzales to it,He's a big fan who can't seem to get the Legion bug out of his system.

Our Mr. Kayak asked a question in this week's Q&A with DiDio on Newsarama:
quote:Mr. Kayak wrote: Who will be drawing Paul Levitz's Adventure Comics?
DiDio: We don't have an artist finalized right now, but we guarantee there will be an artist on board, and once we're ready to announce what issue Paul will be taking over with, we'll have the artist attached at that time.
Nrama: Does that mean Paul doesn't take over with Adventure Comics #7 once Geoff Johns' is gone after Issue #6?
DiDio: He will not be jumping on with Issue #7. He'll be coming on a little bit later down the line. There will be a couple of issues and an event taking place, a separate story arc, involving characters tied to the current goings on in the New Krypton storyline that's unfolding in Superman right now.

Sour.
Given this news, I wonder if Paul's first issue will be out in time for us to gush over (and get signed) at San Diego next year.

Oddly enough, with him leaving the book, geoff Johns says in an interview for Wizard that there's plans for the Legion outside of Adventure Comics, that the first six mini-stories are leading to a bigger story, that two Legionnaires will change and that there will be new Legionnaires.

This clearly ties into what Robinson is doing with Superman. Presumably Levitz is letting this run its course.
If the previews are to be believed, a Green Lantern is joining and Blok is obviously changing.
The likelyhood is that the Black Witch persona won't last.

"...all the continuity changes and flip-flops have made the Legion's history an unsalvageable mess. Continuity wasn't "in bad shape." It was Chernobyl. This revision wasn't a decision made lightly; KC Carlson and Tom McCraw and I spent literally hundreds of man-hours over the past year trying to come up with a less drastic solution to the continuity problems than simply wiping the slate clean, and we could *not find one.* [...] I'm sorry if I sound cranky, but this wasn't an editorial fiat from DC. This drastic change was my choice, and DC chose to back me." (Mark Waid, 1994)
