Marvel Legacy #1

[superboyprime]

'It’s a brand new 50-page story, through the course of which we’ll check in with all sorts of different corners of the Marvel Universe where we’ll see different things brewing with different characters. Many of those elements will then spread out into the assorted individual Legacy story arcs in the different books.' - Tom Brevoort

I eagerly await Norman Osborn's transformation into the all-new all-different Demogoblin.

Given Loki*'s track record of empowering assholes that's very plausible.

* He is scheduled to take over being Sorcerer Supreme and everything Strange currently owns next month.

That Celestial is sporting a Goblin colour scheme...

[malitia]

O.O OMG! You're right!

[broblawsky]

And it has weird spiky goblin-ears, too.

[bruinsfan]

Good catch! I'd wondered why it had such a weird color scheme for a Celestial. The answer is contrived foreshadowing!

[skjam]

"Damn that shrubbery."

[shadowpsykie]

ok that was A LOT of information,,,,

[cyberghostface]

Nice bit of meta with Johnny and Ben.

Wasn’t the hammer specifically made *for* Thor? Was that retconned?

[locuatico]

yes. it was retconned by Jason Aaron.
IIRC, the hammer is now the the physical vessel of an ancient storm that Odin once captured and forged into the hammer. the storm had a will and consciousness of their own that Odin could not control, thus he made the spell that makes it so "whoever holds the hammer, if they be worthy, shall posses the power of Thor".
the spell either weakened or shifted so now the hammer's consciouness has re-emerged and is it they who decide who is "worthy".

Ah yes, The Shrubbery of the Knights Who Say "NI!" What a worthy adversary to the forces of evil.

[gnarll]

So... they are bringing back Logan, Xavier, Jean Grey, Franklin and Valeria. Smells like they got a deal with Fox?

[cyberghostface]

Marvel is never going to get the X-Men back, not even something akin to the Sony deal with Spider-Man. (Fantastic Four might be possible someday but given that Fox is coming out with a new FF movie and a Doom movie I doubt they're going to budge on that either.)

I think it's more to do with the culmination of the Inhumans push being a complete disaster and Marvel slowly realizing how they've been cutting off their nose to spite their face to appease Perlmutter's vendetta.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

IS THAT NATASHA ON THE COVER?! DOES SHE APPEAR IN THIS COMIC?

[kd_the_movie]

sooo the Avengers version of the league of ancients from obsidian age?

[thatnickguy]

The feels more like a previews anthology than a comic of its own.
