Marvel Legacy Review

Finished reading Marvel Legacy, starting the next publishing line for Marvel as writer Jason Aaron sets you the next part of the Marvel Universe and where some of the directions the characters and series are heading. The book opens in the distant past as a young Odin scars away a group of Neanderthals in order to retrieve Mjolnir along with a group of prehistoric superheroes as they focus their attention onto the giant Celestial on Earth. While in present day Robbie Reyes wakes up fining himself in South Africa with no memory of why when he is attacked by Starbrand. Meanwhile Loki has gotten a group of outcasted Frost Giants together as they attack an old S.H.I.E.L.D. facility for a mysterious crate which is being prepared for transporting after the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the aftermath of Secret Empire. Luckily the current Captain America, Sam Wilson and Thor along with the help of Ironheart are overseeing the transfer of the facility’s contents when the Frost Giants attack. The book also contains a set of mini character centric stories that retells the origins of multiple heroes and teams within the Marvel Universe that work greatly for anyone needing to catch up on a different part of the Marvel Universe. Overall this was a great book as it sets up the future for the Marvel Universe with the return of characters and concepts that have been away for a little while at Marvel while also weaving an intriguing along the way. The art throughout the book is great as within the main part of the books story does a great job in transitioning between the prehistoric and the present day stories with Loki and the Frost Giants plan along with the fight between Ghost Rider and Starbrand which the art excels at which how the heroes powers are put on show. While the pages that interconnect with the main story by multiple artists does a great job in setting up the tone and character directions for future stories while not feeling completely out of place to the main story. 8/10.
