No need to get into what the book is about or which Legion it is. Just give it to me strait, right between the eyes: YOU are the editor of the Legion comic book and you get to pick the writer/penciller/inker/colorist/etc. for it *right now*, with the guaranty that they would be on the book for 18 issues. Who would you pick? Who could make sales explode, but at the same time not compromise creative integrity? You get one each with an alternate.
Me?
Grant Morrison and Chris Batista.
Alternate pick/Fill-in go to Darwyn Cooke, doing it all.

Karl Kesel inking! And I don't know who are good colorists but please get one of the top notch ones!
(Pacheco is my other choice for artist)
Jim Lee has said he wants to work on the real Legion! He's a huge name. Geoff is a great writer! Make it happen!

Blasphemy! Ronda Pattison is the best colorist out there! She'd be under exclusive contract with DC if I were editor.
And I say either Geoff Johns or Kurt Busiek to write.
Both Chris Batista and Jim Lee would be good. It depends on people's schedules. I want a definite commitment from the creators.

I interacted with Kurt recently on some other board saying how Pacheco's Young Gods look like a Legion scene. He said both him and Pacheco would love to get a chance at the Legion.
I love Kurt as a writer. Sometimes he's too old school. Writers like Geoff and Grant Morrisson I think are better at using the old but defintely being progressive. Still if Kurt comes with Pacheco I would be very happy.
And I would love to see Batista as well.

my Pick for creative teams: Dwayne McDuffy and Paul Pelliter Chris Yost and Mark Bagley and how about Tom Grummet or M.D.Bright on art chores, i hear he's a big Legion Fan also
and i wished DC could find away to lure Salvador Larocca away from Marvel i think his work would rule on the Legion!!!

I can't think of anyone to suggest for writer, but would love to nominate Shane Davis for artist. I loved the slick feel he brought to the Captain Comet series in the Mystery in Space mini, and his upcoming Superman/Batman work looks great.
