Al Ewing might be a good choice. He's an interesting science fiction writer and seems to like continuity deep dives.

I just realized something... The fact that the Future State LOSH book happens some years after the current LOSH stories actually makes Bendis' current version also a part of Future State.
For a Legion even further into the Future to be a direct continuation of the current run, the current run would need to be set in the same reality, so things like Jace Fox Batman or Yara Flor WW would already be part of the past of the regular run.
This means Bendis' whole Legion run is effectively a part of an alternate future continuity, no longer needing to be the actual future of the main continuity (since we know Future State will never be the main continuity or be treated as such).
I realize this was not done by design and they'll probably ignore the logic behind this, but it would actually open up the possibility of having the current run as part of a Future State imprint, while also allowing for the return of other versions to be portrayed as the actual future of the DCU (one that isn't so tied to documented events from the past like a FS Legion is).
The biggest problem would be Jon's connection to Bendis' team. But his interactions with them could be explained as him travelling to an alternate future, so it wouldn't be a big deal.
That could be a good way to put it. I thought they could had done something like that when I read about the Infinitus saga in Justice League United and saw a lot of characters of different Legion eras mixed. I explain that as lack of a good editor, but it could had been a good stating point for what Bored propose.
That could be a good way to explain it, but I doubt it. I guess than Bendis will use Future State to make his version of the 5YL era. I mean, Bendis doesn't seem to be a guy who plans in the long term details like Hickman, for example. The guy always leaves a lot of unresoluted plots hanging when he leaves a series.

I just finished reading X-Men 16 by Hickman and god, it was a Legion story in disguise.
The data pages already feel very 5YL Legion and now this "election" is simply repeating a Legionesque pattern.
Sad that over the last few years the innovations of Legion reappeared in different titles (King's comics, Hickman) but never generated a desire for new and ambitious Legion comics.
Go read Generations Shattered.
Cant believe DC is teasing us like that.
For those who saw it, how was the Legion of SuperHeroes animated show?
I guess it wasn’t as popular as Justice League or the Teen Titans. Otherwise we’d still hear about it, and LoSH would still be in other media.
Was it a good adaptation?
It was it's own thing, no more a faithful adaptation than the Young Justice cartoon (and a bit more kid-friendly than that, although not to the level of Teen Titans Go). I enjoyed it, but I've enjoyed several AU Legion offerings. It might come across as *too* kid-friendly at times, more like a Saturday morning cartoon (like Superfriends), than something more mature audiences can get into. But again, not so bad as Teen Titans Go, which I can't really watch, because it's a little too aggressively silly for my tastes.
