Hmmm...
If there's any truth the story a few weeks ago that Geoff Johns's alleged feet-dragging was what had caused prospective Legion writer Jonathan Hickman to walk away from DC and return to Marvel, then I wonder -- could that have been one of the main things that caused this recent editorial/executive shakeup?
Now, since Jim Lee was reportedly the one who had "snared" Hickman in the first place, might there be another Hickman flip-flop about to happen?
No real difference to me either way. If Hickman doesn't write the Legion, I won't shed a tear (I'm not a fan, and that's as far as I'm gonna go there.) And if he does write the Legion, that'll save me $ 4.00 every month.
To be perfectly Frank(-ie Kane,) DC could hire any one of my favorite writers (Kelly Thompson, Peter David, Hope Larson (who was reportedly in the running at one point,) Mike Carey, Andy Diggle) and I probably would put the first issue back on the shelf after skimming through it.
The shakeup was a good start, but in my opinion, Warners needs to take it all the way and clean out all of what is now the "old guard."
