8 Reasons Why The Marvel Legacy Return Is Nothing To Be Excited About

Many have felt Marvel have been missing something, but Wolverine was not it.

A big part of what Marvel Legacy #1 hoped to address was the feeling that something was missing from the Marvel Universe, that something has been lost.

When Marvel described the return of the heart and soul of the Marvel Universe in the comic, many assumed immediately that this meant the return of Reed Richards, Sue Richards and probably their kids Valeria and Franklin.

What people felt was truly missing was Marvel's First Family, and that sense of joy, wonder and hope that came with the family of adventurers at the heart of the Marvel Universe.

Technically, Marvel Legacy #1 did let us see the kids of the Richards, and is in fact narrated by the hyper-intelligent Valeria Richards, but they were not the major return of the comic, as in fact, the characters don't return to the Marvel Universe, and are still somewhere out there in the multiverse, apparently dreaming of home.

It's hinted, heavily, that the characters will be coming back, and that the new title Marvel Two-In-One is the book to follow if you want to see that return of the Fantastic Four (Marvel don't put Jim Cheung on just any book, after all), but it wasn't here. The big return we got here was Wolverine, and while he is a fan-favourite, and regularly appears pretty much everywhere in the Marvel Universe at once, he is far from being its heart and soul.
