I don't particularly think the direction has been great for the character, that's just me. If there is no end game, wouldn't the age up and legion thing be wasted? I don't think jon with legion is sustainable at all. There is a limit to what the character scope will be, compared to the potential.This is also important since bendis says he had stayed longer than he planned. Didio who seems to have been rumoured to be the brains of the operation is also gone.
