Rated T+
There will be those on either side of that fence, but that's a good thing. Marvel and DC are both at their best when they're competitive, and both publishers are looking strong right now. If this one-shot is any indication, fans have great things to look forward to during Marvel Legacy. Read Full Review
To this point Legacy has lived up to the hype. I want more, particularly involving Wolverine (and the Thor cover really got me) and Deadpool. Marvel's future looks good, let's hope it lasts. Read Full Review
Although the pacing of the issue is a bit all over the place, Jason Aaron manages to make the most of the whopping 58 pages he is given, providing a huge sense of scale in his storytelling, which is compliment well by Esad Ribi's art. Marvel Legacy #1 is a fantastic starting out point for the future of the Marvel Universe, and after faltering the past few years, it seems that Marvel is back in full force and ready to tell some great stories.

Marvel Legacy #1 is exactly what an Alpha issue should be. In other words, it's the perfect setup for everything that's about to happen. Read Full Review
Marvel Legacy is officially upon us. We now enter a new era for Marvel Comics, it's shaping up to be an exciting and quite healthy one if this issue is any indication. Read Full Review
Marvel Legacy #1 is almost eerily similar to DC Universe Rebirth #1 in many ways, but it also works for the same exact reasons. Legacy allows writer Jason Aaron and his artists to take a step back and reexamine the course of the Marvel Universe, while also just introducing some very fun ideas and bringing back a few fan-favorite characters in the process. It's a little choppy in places, but well worth a read for anyone who wants to see this superhero universe thrive again. Read Full Review
There is a lot going on in this book, but the overall storyline works. all of the additional threads are woven together well into a narrative that is engaging and entertaining. This issue leaves readers both worried about the oncoming threats but hopeful about the heroes themselves. Read Full Review

Overall, Marvel Legacy #1 almost gets it right. In fact, it gets very close. However, it is far from the perfect, emotional and genuinely earth-shattering shocking moment that DC Rebirth provided. But it does come ever so close, and it is certainly enough to renew some cautious hope for the future of Marvel and where this continuing story will lead. Read Full Review
Open your imagination to it, as if it's the first time you ever cracked open a Marvel Comic. Take what you know and give new a chance".trust me it's worth it! Again Jason Aaron did a wonderful job introducing little bits to big beginnings, and the entire artistic team brings new life to old friends. Read Full Review
A very solid start to a major event. The writing is strong all the way through, and the multiple artists all provide wonderfully illustrated scenes. There are a few forgivable hiccups, but overall it achieves its goal and sets up the story well. Read Full Review
It's too soon to tell if the Legacy story will actually get Marvel back on track, but it's at least a solid start on that road. Fans across the globe are hoping for the best! Read Full Review
Overall I have to give props to Marvel for delivering a pretty well satisfying issue. We have been event fatigued for a while and with Secret Empire just ending, it was exciting to read Marvel Legacy and I'm really excited to see where things go. More so though I'm excited for the return of some characters and can't wait to see how this impacts the Marvel universe as a whole. Read Full Review
Legacy doesn’t fix anything. But it has promise. It has hope. It’s been a while since we’ve had anything resembling actual hope in a Marvel comic book and it’s nice to see that returning. Aaron recognizes the things that make the Marvel universe work. It’s more than heroes fighting heroes or heroes fighting villains or who wields a hammer or shield. It’s about exploration and pushing forward and charging into that great unknown to find the impossible. Marvel revolutionized comics book once upon a time and it’s clear that they want to again. Only time will tell if the creators themselves can reach the heights of their legacies. Read Full Review
Only time will tell if this truly is Marvel's reply to DC Rebirth but, if it is, then fans of the big two have plenty to be excited for. The industry needs a strong Marvel and, if Legacy can be the super soldier serum that rekindles our love for the universe, then more power to them. Read Full Review
Legacy still has some issues to address, such as there are multiple versions of heroes running around with almost all the old timers back with their 'All new' counterparts. Infinity Stones are back in the mix as well. It's too soon to talk about anything but as far as this issue go, it's a step in the right direction and a throwback to the time when Marvel was at the top. Read Full Review
Marvel Legacy #1 doesn't fix everything that's wrong with the Marvel Universe, but it is a step in the right direction. Read Full Review
I really enjoyed this book and I am hoping that Marvel sticks to the line of telling tighter stories. If you are a lapsed reader as I am, this book may do well to convince you to come back. Aaron and Ribics work here is a solid effort to win back a lot of the audience who may have been lost in the last few years, and to be brutally honest, I will slowly and carefully with my dollars, dipping back into the Marvel pool. As long as we dont get derailed with yet another Marvel book wide event promising to shake up the universe as we know it, I will stick around. As far as this book is concerned, its a very good start forward, lets hope that it continues. Read Full Review
While the Marvel universe seems to get redefined at least once a month, it's rare for a story to feel as large in scope as it's trying to be. Marvel Legacy #1 succeeds in conveying that feeling. From those disillusioned by Marvel's recent direction and enamored by its past, it offers something to latch onto. The fact it does all that without a time machine, clones, or magic spells makes it all the more astounding. Read Full Review
Marvel Legacy #1 sets out to not only set the course for a universe but to remind fans why they loved it in the first place. To that end, Legacy is a rousing success, and things should only get better from here. Read Full Review
Marvel's Legacyis accessible without reading a ton of Marvel books for the last couple years, and the art was top notch. If you were looking for a way back to the page after the movie screen, this is a good place to start. Thanks for reading! Read Full Review
MARVEL LEGACY #1 does a great job establishing the new direction Marvel plans to take its universe. However, the comic isn't great by itself. Jason Aaron, Steve McNiven, and Esad Ribi's large comic one-shot is much more of a trailer for what's to come rather than a game-changing installment. Read Full Review
Legacy has made me excited for the future of Marvel comics, after the onset of severe event fatigue. The return to the "original" numbering after this is a gamble that I can't quite see the long term benefits of with regards to getting new readers in, and this certainly doesn't feel like a place to start, but with a compelling plot and great art any current or lapsed Marvel fan should check it out. Read Full Review
Like “Freedom Rock” or “20 Original Hits! 20 Original Stars!” theres something in Marvel Legacy #1 for everyone, but not everything for everyone. If you can spare a coffee or a fast food lunch this week, Ribic gives you some fine art in return and Aaron an enjoyable story. Read Full Review
In all, if you're a Marvel fan, this book should excite you, despite its flaws. Read Full Review
A worthwhile effort from some of Marvel's best talent hopefully providing Marvel a roadmap easily followed to draw some inspiration back into their Universe. The title is far from perfect, but the right amount of fun, and good art make it worth a look. Read Full Review
This is by no means a bad comic, and the interstitial single-page glimpses do the needed job of getting us excited for some of the titles coming up. But to get back the many readers Marvel have lost over the past decade, they really needed to hit this one out of the park. And while it's a decently acceptable comic " especially for those who are already invested " it's perhaps a little too all-over-the-map to be the massive shot in the arm which Marvel needed. Read Full Review
Overall: Marvel Legacy #1 earned a higher score than it technically should have from The Revolution. But, anytime an issue delivers the return of Tony Stark, Bruce Banner and Wolverine plus Steve Rogers embracing being Captain America and a Fantastic Four sighting then that issue is going to get a high score no matter the issues' weaknesses. Marvel Legacy #1 is certainly no DC Rebirth #1. But, Marvel Legacy #1 is most definitely a step in the right direction in what is going to be a long uphill battle for Marvel to win back readers. Read Full Review
Marvel Legacy #1 is a solid issue that derives most of its strength from the art team and the Avengers of 1,000,000 B.C. plot. Once things shift to the present day, questionable character and dialogue choices hinder the more interesting concepts. Read Full Review
Whil not bad, it also feels like it's a missed opportunity. The issue plays to those who know Marvel's history with the full enjoyment only really being experienced when you truly understand everything you're reading. This is the trailer for the film to come and like a trailer, it has me interested in what's to come but in itself, it's not a complete story. Read Full Review
In the end, Legacy #1 wasnt the stand to attention game-changer Marvel really need to win over disgruntled readers. Theres potential here, but not the home run to convince readers to explore all of Marvels offerings like its Distinguished Competition accomplished with Rebirth. Read Full Review
Having more of a feel of a preview than a bold new direction, Marvel Legacy leaves a lot to be desired Read Full Review
Marvel Legacy #1 will probably thrill the remaining fans of the former House of Ideas, as its another story that crams in as many characters as they possibly can. Things are returning to a status quo that may appease longtime Marvel Boys (and Girls), and just maybe this is the beginning of things getting straightened out. However, I found it grating and a slog to get through, stellar artwork or not. I thankfully didnt have to buy this, and I wont recommend it to the average fan. Read Full Review
So, Marvel Legacy #1 is, unfortunately, mediocre overall. Its a teaser book. It wants you to buy the new titles. It adds very little story of its own. The characters are cool, and the art is great, if disparate taken as a whole. I cant really recommend it, though. The price point is too high, and it really is just an advert for all the new titles and directions Marvel is putting out there now. Give this one a pass. Read Full Review
So Marvel Legacy #1 epitomizes Marvel's real legacy " the short-sighted, self-serving choices instead of the long term choices that come with more risk and less immediate gratification. Plus, Marvel Legacy #1 is just another comic book, fast food hamburger off the corporate conveyor belt " granted that there is some rather nice art inside. Read Full Review
Marvel Legacy #1 is the first issue of a wide-sweeping arc promising to bring a bit of the classic Marvel back to the fold. I'll believe it when I see it. As for the first issue, I'll stick with my comparison of Final Crisis – it's an awfully ambitious clusterfuck. Hit-and-Miss. Read Full Review
This is a book that tries to accomplish a lot and falls sadly short of most of it. It wants to be a big story that ties all of the Marvel Universe together and looks at both past and future, but it ultimately comes off as advertising and a plea to buy the new books. Read Full Review
If only the rest of Marvel Legacy was as good as this was
As someone who is just recently getting into comics (started about 5 months ago) I can say that I stayed away from marvel. Dc always worked better for me. But after heating all the fuss about legacy I decided to give it a read. This issue was awesome and gave me a reason to buy into every single character. Marvel legacy left me wanting more marvel.
Catalogue just like DC Rebirth.
It accomplished its goal of creating a comic that makes you interested in a dozen storylines. Did I just see a Wakandan space force? I never figured him for a butterfly out of a coocoon type! Are they really going to give us "them" back?!? Very exciting read. Oh, I want more BC Avengers.
DADDY IS HOME!
Great writing by Jason Aaron getting me hyped for the future of Marvel Comics. From Feeling bad for Deadpool to wanting my Logan book RIGHT NOW. The art team on this previewish book was phenomenal. I'm on board for Legacy!
"Marvel Legacy" is getting a lot of comparisons to "DC Rebirth," and they certainly have a lot in common. One of these things is that they both play to their base, respectively giving both Marvel and DC heads a lot to geek out over. Is "Marvel Legacy" as good as "DC Rebirth," in terms of story told, and building anticipation for the future? Probably not; "Rebirth" feels tighter and more focussed, and it's hard to top the idea of the Watchmen entering the DCU. But is it awesome in its own right? Fuck yeah. There is a lot going on here, and, yeah, it doesn't work as a narrative piece as well as "Rebirth" did, but, as a Marvel guy, I loved it. The 1,000, 000 BC Avengers is a great way to open the issue, and I did get a real sense of the heart more
I'm Surprised, and I'm no Marvel SuperFan. It's good, and shakes the Marvel Universe well.
Im on board.
This is not A REBIRTH 👌🏿 It is a Set Up book for the future. I onow the comparisons will be made but IMO they are 2 different things. One nook was anout plucking things from the Past to connect with the present and the other is a set up for what is in store for the future.
Lot's of interesting stuff in this book. There are a lot of mysteries that I am sure will be touched on in the future. Yes, I agree it is more of a trailer for things to come, but what a way to do it. This was a really fun read with amazing art. We get to see where Marvel is headed and I couldn't be more excited.
Wow. This is exactly what I wanted. This book will definitely bring you back to marvel if you have been away for some time. Amazing artwork, great characters, new mysterious plots Also some character makes a return that are awesome. Pick this one up you won't regret it.
For anyone who missed the Marvel reveal I am going to throw a spoiler at you, Wolverine is alive. Anyone who was missing Logan even with the numerous replacements running around your three year wait is over. I thought his death was a great place to leave him, much like Captain Marvel (who would still appear from time to time) so I am not to focused on that. The point of interest in this book for me was the prehistory Avengers and the unusual Robbie Reyes (Ghost Rider) story that accompanies it. We only get a small moment with the team which was a shame. In that small moment though there was some interesting characters. An Agamotto that mentions a knowledge of the cosmos. Odin trying to control a wild Mjolnir. Also the personal favorite a ca more
Marvel Legacy is a solid one-shot with amazing art. The Marvel Universe is a large beast in need of a single vision for the future. This one-shot gives us a glimpse of what marvel Legacy could be for all readers. Jason Aaron does a great job of creating a history that I would love to revisit. The Avengers 1,000,000 BC are an interesting group for how little they are a part of this comic, and the ongoing mystery and figures presented are a chance for Marvel to make an event feel worth the time and effort again. There is a moment when the three main legacy superheroes of Sam Wilson (Captain America), Jane Foster (Thor), and Riri Williams (IronHeart) are fighting side by side. Jason gives a moment of questioning how long these characters will more
Cool introduction to Marvel Comics 4 Old & New fans
The pacing wasnt that excellent. Its sad that this wasnt as good as DC rebirth #1. But still this book had lots of cool moments and reveals. It sets up lots of Marvel's upcoming titles and actually makes u feel excited for it at the same time.
Good because Jason Aaron is good, but a little too haphazard:
- 1000000 BC Avengers are not a good idea
- The Rabid Celestial is intriguing
- Return of Wolverine is welcome
- Does this all cohere into an epic story for the Marvel Univeras? It looks loose but Jason Aaron is great at this, so let's see
The writing and the art was good. Really liked the returns of the characters, especially loved the final page. My problem with this was the, obviously, the price, which is definitely too big for something that more resembles of a preview magazine of the stories to come, than a proper oneshot. Though still, it made me quite hopeful for Marvel's future and I hope it will not disappoint me.
Pick it up for the art, read it for the reveals, but not the dialogues. It is basically a Marvel DC Rebirth. Some have said it's a publicity for their next year's comics, and it's hard to argue with them. Still, even knowing that, I can't wait for what's next! Getting me excited is easy, but I feel it's the right time to like comics right now. An Epic narrative is coming and it will all fall into place in time, but the way has been opened and Marvel just need to walk it down...which could still be something they fail if they stray too far after promising so much.
I would have liked to love this one more. The art was good all through and Jason Aaron's script
is competent, though nowhere near the level of what he's doing on Thor. Truth be told, this comic lacks a bit of focus and sometimes feels like a series of previews, without the coherence of what made DC Rebirth#1 a great reading.
I appreciate the effort but the issue still kind of reads like a clustephuck... I thought it was odd how it looked like Wolverine literally hatched from his adamantium tomb thing. I have faith in Aaron just based on the fact that many of the Marvel titles I still read are authored by him but I'll need to read more or legacy to get a feel if this is in fact the right direction.
Jason Aaron nearly spoils a bunch of awesome coming attractions by trying to thread a story through them. The most preview-tastic parts of his story - the million-year-old Avengers, the resurrection, the revelation of the mystery narrator - are all highly welcome. Robbie Reyes's impromptu African adventure is decent. But Thor, Sam Wilson, and Ironheart stopping Loki's frost giants is terrible. It's not *just* the in-your-face shilling for the "makes sense only to Jason Aaron" Thor/Sam romance; the humor is atrocious, too. But! The previews are awesome and there are great blast-off points here for a dozen epic stories, many of which absolutely *demand* to be followed. The deep and talented art roster does mostly outstanding work; as always, more
Be sure to drink your Ovaltine.
The way this was marketed, I really expected it to be more of a self-contained story. So I was a bit disappointed in that context. As far as what it actually is - a loosely connected narrative teasing the forthcoming books - it works well, though a lot of the teasers were old news. There are a couple of returns of big characters, one that made me go "meh" and the second which surprised me and worked. Overall it's a bit of a mess but has some great moments too.
I enjoyed most of the plots. some didn't keep my interest. but I can see myself reading some of these.
It's pretty good, kinda bland. But a step in the right direction.
This was frustrating. There were some cool reveals and hints at future story lines but most of the book was pointless. To compare to Rebirth (which is impossible not to do), Johns planted the seeds for the future of DC through a unified theme. This, however, was just a bunch of little teases at random story lines without any sense of a connecting thread. I will say that the art was fantastic; artists such as Esad Ribic, Steve McNiven, Chris Samnee, Russell Dauterman, etc. like always are great. Overall, the book is not a complete disappointment and I do have hope for the Marvel Universe moving forward but I wish this was a little more meaningful.
First, I'll admit 2 things. I'm a DC fan first, and I couldn't make it through this whole book. The chopped up voiceover narration bits got to be too much for me, so I skimmed the rest and looked at the excellent artwork until the last couple pages. The B.C. story was interesting, then it ended. The Ghost Rider/Starbrand story was an odd choice to weave everything else around. And why did Starbrand look like an old man suddenly? Why did we have to read random S.H.I.E.L.D. agent banter? I thought the Avengers scene dialogue was clunky. Ironheart hasn't even met Jane Foster Thor, and yet she just appears on the mission with Thor and Falcon Cap? Honestly I was going for a more coherent story, but in the end it turned out to be a longer and mor more
Marvel Legacy's a bit of a mixed bag. There are some really good moments in the book, but overall it feels like a blend of short teaser trailers for the upcoming Legacy series, more than a the definitive, connected story to bring Marvel back to its roots that we were told it would be. And at an asking price of $5.99, that's a hard sell for a series of "sneak peeks". I did enjoy the 1,000,000 B.C. Avengers, and Esad Ribic's artwork is a masterpiece. But I was disappointed that for all the hype Marvel gave these characters, they were really only in about 10% of the issue. Maybe they'll be explored more later on, but in this one-shot they aren't used as much as Marvel's PR advertised them to be. The remaining plots had some highs and lows. The more
The idea is well not bad.
It was ok. Too much previews for my liking especially considering I k we all this from solicits. I would give it a 7/10 but this loses 2 points for the price. This should have been 2.99 because of all the previews. In the end this is a poor mans rebirth.
Decent read but not for the price point it is set at.
The wraparound cover is very beautiful. I love it.
And that's all.
Ok Ribic art is great. But I'm not fond of it. I prefer Del Mundo ^^
The story is really dumb. Once more marvel who didn't know how use a to powerful character turn it as a killer.
Dumb idea ...
I don't like the new Ghost rider so I hopped he will be killed ^^
The story with the avengers is a little more interesting, but hard to understand.
I'm not found of the return of the one with claws. I like more the part about the first family.
There is to much story who disturbs the story Aaron try to tell (Deadpool, Steve bowering Rogers, odinson ...)
For something that talk about legacy that a shame not seen any New Warriors, New M more
The artwork convinced me to pick this up, but with a below average main plot that is repeatedly interrupted by unrelated trivial bullshit, and at a six dollar price tag. I'm recommending readers avoid this issue like the plague. Don't reward price grabs like these with your hard earned dollars.
Soooooo boring. The ONLY good thing about it is that the Four will be coming back!
