Per Comic Book Resources' July 15 "Lying In The Gutters Column":
It’s handy that Jim Shooter worked so far ahead on "Legion," Because, even though he stormed off the book around March (hence his no show with DC at the Bristol convention), things were patched up nicely and he’s back on the book. Without missing a single issue.
Of course, when he does decide to gracefully step down, expect Geoff Johns to jump on that book like a… well, a rude word.

I know a lot of people have a problem with Johns, but I think this would be a _great_ book with Johns on it; he's always brought fantastic new ideas with him on his DC books, and as for his team works, one of the only "Avengers" runs I followed religiously was written by Johns...

Rich's original "source" fed him a line of shite, and this is him (RJ) saving face.
Honestly, there's a good 70% chance Pov is right. Rich can't really be trusted to provide accurate information since he is in fact a vampire suckling on rumor. Mayhap we all were too hasty?
Still, I have my pitchfork ready just in case we need to murder yell at someone.

I don't know, but I think the story is not bogus. Otherwise, we wouldn't see so much cover-up and a deliberate focus on L3W, ignoring the main book. This sort of stuff has happened before at DC AND at a Legion book! (Keith Giffen has similarly left-and-returned due to editorial crazynesses). But it is great to have Shooter still on the book. Finally, a title at DC with a consistent creative team!

I hope he is back on the Legion. That would be great. The news of him leaving made me lose interest.

I also think the story isn't bogus as i've heard a similar story through some people I know who are involved with DC, although I'm not allowed to elaborate for obvious reasons.

The threads building up to Lo3W have been on-going since Justice League #1 (October 2006 cover date), long before Shooter came back, so I can't believe that the outcome of Lo3W and the future of the on-going series wasn't part of the contractual negotiations between Shooter and DC.
Basically, until Lo3W finishes it has to be status quo. After that? Shooter? Johns? Johns plots/Shooter scripts? Shooter plots/Johns scripts? A N Other? What's Giffen doing after Ambush Bug and Dreamwar?
How long is FJM contracted to the book? Anyone know?
