Although, when I heard about this a short while ago I was REEEEEALLY skeptical, after having read this article, this is beginning to sound interesting to me. Although I've personally seen the Legion of Super-Heroes rebooted and/or changed several times since 1985, this current one sounds like a serious update.
No "reinterpretations" of classic Legion stories will be appearing -- no rehashing of stories that have already been told. Waid and Kitson look like they're planning on taking the essential characters from the Legion and writing NEW stories with them, in a way similar to Julius Schwartz's treatment of DC's golden age heroes when he revamped them in the 1950s and 1960s. The characters themselves look like they'll be closer to the original versions than, say, Barry Allen is to Jay Garrick, but I'm hopeful that this exercise in originality will be more than just that. I'm hopeful that we'll see some creativity that doesn't constantly rely on past Legion continuity.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Anyone skeptical about it?
