Wow, it’s for real: Jim Shooter is going to write the Legion for the first time in 30 years.
Read an interview with Shooter on Newsarama.
When I started buying the Legion, way back in 1976, Shooter was on his way out (he’d soon become Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics), but he wrote the first three Legion comics I ever bought (including his last two). It’s been a while since he’s written any comics, I think, so it’ll be interesting to see how it pans out.
