Jonathan Hickman and Scott Lobdell have both stated that they'd like to write the Legion at some point. One, I'd love. One, less so.

I never read Card's infamous homophobic comments, even if I have read about them. I just hope it was some sort of misunderstanding, as it so often happens on the internet. Besides, I never found any homophobic message hidden in his books (otherwise I wouldn't have loved them so much as I did!), and that's what it matters to me: if I stopped reading stuff written by jerks I'm afraid that wouldn't leave many books or comics for me to enjoy

I wouldn't like a Legion written by Hickman or Lobdell, though. The first one is a good writer imho, but I find exhausting his way of building over-complex never-ending storylines. If he just focused on one episode at a time, maybe I'd enjoy his writing more. Lobdell instead I just find mediocre.
