...for those of you sceptical (or worse) I hope you'll give us the chance to win you over.
Okay, I trust you. I'll shut up with my paranoid pessimism and wait until the end of the year for the new series.

I'm thrilled by this news! Mark and Barry are very talented and I have always enjoyed their work, and I have to say the first year and a half-ish of the rebooted Legion that Waid helped guide was the best the reboot has been. The only time it has come close since was Legion Lost!
I look forward to the new series, especially if Garth is back to being Garth (in both body and name: Lightning Lad!).
And I have to say, I'm not surprised at all that Mark and Barry wound up working for this particular editor. Waid & Kitson? WaiKit?...Whack it?...Wacker?
Maybe we can call their era "MarKit"!
Welcome to Legion World Barry and Mark! I know I'll enjoy this ride!

That's a clever name.
Is it confirmed that Wacker will remain editor? I don't recall seeing him mentioned in any of the announcements yesterday.

Oops! I didn't see T.C.'s post until after I posted mine.
Sorry T.C., for repeating your question.

I hope Barry's post calms some people down!
I know I'm really looking forward to their take on the book! I loved their JLA: Year One, Empire and Brave and Bold, and I think they'll work well together on Legion.
And they won't be older, there isn't a reboot, and there *will* be 30 pgs, so I see this as only good news!
I'm going to sit back, enjoy Gail's run, and then look forward to MnB

Hey Barry. Good to see you again. Missed your art since the Titans ended. (Yeah, i got empire just like i said i would, but i cant find the zero issue from dc to see how it started, so i havent read it yet, lol.)
Anyway, yeah, ya'lls interview scared a few of us around here. After the Firestorm debacle, we are kinda gunshy, at least some of us, anyway.
So, since ya asked so nicely, yeah, i will most definately be checkin the book out. Just have Mark make Jeckie a human again and ya have a fan for life.
-------------------- Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

Hey Rick. If you didn't pick the the TPB that was just released that included the whole shebang I'll get you a copy, probably electronic, of the #0 issue.

Uh...weren't DnA leaving anyway, necessitating the change? DC didn't fire them from the book.
Yes and no - they quit, but then were told to leave 3 issues earlier than they wanted to.
So the decision Jorge has suffered this time is to miss out three issues.

Glad my nudge got you over here. Scott watch out I might just get over their one day to take you up on that offer of a beer
Having just bought Empire to see what the new team is capable off I am now a lot more relaxed about the future of the future.
Lots of very very pretty pictures, I cant wait to see Barry's version of my fav, Saturn Girl.

All I can say is thanks Barry. In that one little sentence about not thinking in terms of a reboot or revamp you put my mind at ease. That Newsarama article was so vague and misleading in spots that I was really worried. If it was going to be another reboot then I was leaving the book, but now I will see what you guys have coming down the line. If your pulling our leg and it is some kind a veiled reboot then I am still leaving. I have hung onto Legion since Superboy/Legion 198, but I just can't and won't go through another reboot on my all time favorite book.

Not to be paranoid or anything, but just because they're not thinking in terms of "reboot" doesn't mean it isn't -- does it??
Anyhoo, it's great to see Barry here. Now if only we don't scare him off before the re-whateveritis.
