Yesterday, Marvel Comics promised an announcement that would change the face of comics. Today, ComicBook.com has your exclusive first look at what that looks like. Marvel has debuted 6 teaser images with only the text “MAKE MINE MARVEL” with “MARVEL LEGACY – Fall 2017.” The images when placed side by side clearly harken all the way back to Marvel’s beginnings. The Astonishing X-Men variant is pencilled by John Cassaday.
In a previous announcement, Marvel Editor In Chief has described Marvel Legacy as the following:
“A new initiative that will take things back to our iconic history, with a firm eye on the future, Marvel Legacy will present stories that remind everyone — newcomers and longtime fans alike — why Marvel stands as the premier name in fiction.”
Given by the look of the covers, Marvel wants to invoke some very key moments of it’s history and re-introduce those concepts for its new, larger audience.
Marvel Legacy is set to kick off with a 50-page one shot by Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic that will set the tone of what the new Marvel Universe will look and feel like. Then, fans can expect some new and surprising creators to be on the company’s top books.
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.
