11 Reasons You're Wrong About Marvel Legacy

3. More Thor!

Jason Aaron's Thor is just incredible.

It's hard to think that the series has been going for as long as it has, because it still feels fresh even today. With Legacy, Aaron now also has the (awesome) responsibility of ringing in the 700th issue of The Mighty Thor, which, while not only being befitting of his run's stature, further hammers home the point that Marvel have a massive history to be proud of. Considering that Thor might just be the best series they've had for the past five years, it's more than deserving of the focus, especially since Aaron has also been tasked with introducing Legacy in the upcoming one shot as well.

What's so exciting about the milestone is that we'll really get to see Aaron celebrate the character's history, with the cover to #700 showing off Jane Foster Thor, the Odinson, Ultimate Thor, Beta Ray Bill and more. It's clearly shaping up to be something special, and although the Marvel faithful won't need reminding of that fact, it's another aspect of Legacy that seems to be getting lost in all the facile hoo-ha surrounding its marketing.

So yeah, get hyped for Thor, people.
