Marvel Legacy: 10 Things You Need To Know After Issue 1
6. Mangog Is Returning
Marvel Comics
That's right, Mangog - the villain with the most terrifying name in all of comic book-dom - looks to be returning in the epic continuation of Jason Aaron's Thor series.
He's a real nasty fella, and seemingly forced the suicide of one of Asgard's Royal Viziers. That's a pretty big deal, seeing how their job is to foresee the future, and it looks as though the Odinson is in no mood for a fight right now, still reeling from his ostensibly 'unworthy' status.
Aaron's Thor has been the one constant of the Marvel Universe these last few years, and it looks as though his run will be going into overdrive with this latest array of legacy titles. In any case, we can definitely expect Foster's Thor and the Odinson to team up if they're to defeat a threat as grave as this, with the last Mangog appearance having come in what feels like an age ago.
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.
