11 Reasons You're Wrong About Marvel Legacy

9. There Are Some Great Creative Teams Involved

All New Wolverine 25 Marvel Legacy
Marvel Comics

A given, considering the books we've seen this last year, but a fact that's easy to forget nonetheless.

You see, despite all the Secret Empires and Champions out there, Marvel are able to boast a massive amount of talent in and out of their New York office, and Legacy brings its full force to bear. Tom Taylor is still smashing it on Wolverine, Peter David is back (writing Scarlet Spider no less), Dennis Hopeless is writing a Jean Grey book, and everything sounds great, really.

With Legacy, we've got writers old and new jumping on or just continuing their series without the overarching threat of some ridiculous crossover to stand on their toes, which (hopefully) will translate to greater freedom being afforded to them. There are clear positives to be gleaned from Marvel's year of discontent in this sense, and if Legacy can focus on them, then it could just redeem their year and then some.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
