11 Reasons You're Wrong About Marvel Legacy

6. It's Fresh And Familiar

Silver Sable and the Wild Pack 36 Marvel Legacy

One of the titles that really caught our eye when Legacy was first announced was Silver Sable and the Wild Pack - a series that would focus on the Spider-Man side-act and resurrect her long-forgotten series from the eighties in doing so.

The book, written by Christina Faust, exemplifies the kind of 'fresh but familiar' feel Legacy is gunning for, and indeed, it's great to see Marvel assuaging fears that they'd be pulling another Fantastic Four in response to Sony's continued pursuit of their own cinematic universe, which will have Sable in a starring role. It might just be a one-shot, but still, it's one that people will undoubtedly be curious to check out, especially with Spidey being returned to the forefront of the Marvel universe both on and off the page.

The renumbering also helps the feel Marvel are going for, along with other additions, such as the resurrection of the 'Make Mine Marvel' motto and other classic characters that have gone missing in recent years. No word on if letters pages will be returning, sadly, but it would be another great move to really hit the nostalgia home for older fans, and y'know, get away from that whole Twitter thing.
