I first read the Legion of Superheroes while Jim Shooter was writing it. It is one of my fondest comics memories. Before long Shooter would leave for Marvel comics and other projects. His first comic was written at the age of 14, a feat which has never been repeated.
The Legion has ranged from amazing to bland since he let the title, my second favorite run being the Levitz and Griffin era.
To say I’m excited about this is an understatement.
Newsarama has a really nice interview with Shooter here:Shooter Interview at Newsarama
