Waid on Legion reboot

Just reading Waid say this has me excited:

As readers of the 'Titans/Legion Special' now know, it has no ties to previous continuity. At DC's request, we're taking the same approach with the Legion that Julie Schwartz took with the Golden Age heroes to revive them for the Silver Age, which is to say to boil the concepts down to their essence and recraft them as if they were being invented fresh today. We know that's going to make us some enemies among hardcore Legion fans, but it wasn't a decision made cavalierly or without great respect for what has come before. It's just that the Legionnaires are such great characters that we want them to have every fighting chance in today's marketplace to spark the same kind of interest and loyalty that it did when we were kids.

I'm not much of a Kitson fan, but the preview art alone has got me and my wallet willing to give him a second chance. I'm really hoping this is as successful as I think it can be.
