11 Reasons You're Wrong About Marvel Legacy

8. Some Covers Are Actually Cool

Right, we get it, Marvel's marketing for Legacy has been pretty dreadful. The awful treatment of retailers in respect to the relaunch is equally appalling, and, while no one will be losing their heads over alternate covers (bar those loathsome scalpers that prowl Comic Con), it's hard not to admire the intent behind them.

Take Black Panther's lenticular variant for instance: it features a neat little reference to Todd McFarlane's famous cover to the Incredible Hulk #340, with T'Challa taking Wolverine's place with a quartet of knives instead of those adamantium claws. It looks great, and there are plenty of other covers in the solicitations that, while not bound to entice everyone, offer a unique piece of history for certain fans to pick up and appreciate.

And they're just that: a bonus. No Marvel fan will be forced to pick up one of the covers, and even if you don't fall for them, they're easy enough to admire online.
