Marvel Entertainment has announced its launch line-up for Marvel Legacy, its upcoming linewide comic book relaunch, and the future of the Marvel Universe looks\u2026 surprisingly familiar.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of the Legacy line is the same as Marvel&#8217;s current comic book line-up, with a few additions \u2014 revivals of Marvel Two-in-One and Spirits of Vengeance, both series pairing fan-favorite characters (Fantastic Four&#8217;s the Thing, and Ghost Rider, respectively) with other heroes, and a solo title for The Falcon, AKA Sam Wilson, who currently headlines the Captain America: Sam Wilson series \u2014 and a handful of interesting omissions: Guardians of the Galaxy is losing its spin-off titles, fan-favorite title The Unstoppable Wasp apparently disappearing, and most interestingly and surprisingly, a complete lack of Captain America altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Marvel Legacy will begin with a 50-page special issue in September by Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic that will set-up the status quo for the comic book line moving forward, with the initiative rolling out across the line the following month. Marvel is aiming high for the relaunch, following months of lower sales and reduced buzz for its output. Beyond the comic book stories themselves, the publisher intends to add value-add items for fans including revivals of in-house fan club F.O.O.M. (Friends Of Ol&#8217; Marvel) and its 1970s &#8220;value stamp&#8221; program.<\/p>\n<p>(Marvel&#8217;s website ramps up the hyperbole for the initiative, with the headline Marvel Legacy Changes the Comic Book Industry, although the related story doesn&#8217;t explain how, exactly, that will happen.)<\/p>\n<p>No details of creative teams for any of the Marvel Legacy titles have been revealed. The list of titles announced today is:<\/p>\n<p>Incredible Hulk<br \/>\nAmerica<br \/>\nX-Men: Blue<br \/>\nMoon Girl &amp; Devil Dinosaur<br \/>\nAmazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows<br \/>\nAstonishing X-Men<br \/>\nIceman<br \/>\nInvincible Iron Man<br \/>\nLuke Cage<br \/>\nOld Man Logan<br \/>\nSecret Warriors<br \/>\nChampions<br \/>\nHawkeye<br \/>\nGuardians of the Galaxy<br \/>\nJessica Jones<br \/>\nUS Avengers<br \/>\nAvengers<br \/>\nCable<br \/>\nThe Despicable Deadpool<br \/>\nMoon Knight<br \/>\nThe Punisher<br \/>\nRoyals<br \/>\nBlack Panther<br \/>\nThe Mighty Captain Marvel<br \/>\nDaredevil<br \/>\nDr. Strange<br \/>\nGeneration X<br \/>\nThe Unbeatable Squirrel Girl<br \/>\nVenom<br \/>\nShe-Hulk<br \/>\nMonsters Unleashed<br \/>\nBlack Bolt<br \/>\nAmazing Spider-Man<br \/>\nAll-New Wolverine<br \/>\nSpirits of Vengeance<br \/>\nThe Defenders<br \/>\nJean Grey<br \/>\nX-Men Gold<br \/>\nSpider-Gwen<br \/>\nSpider-Man<br \/>\nBen Reilly: The Scarlet Spider<br \/>\nThe Unbelievable Gwenpool<br \/>\nThanos<br \/>\nThe Uncanny Avengers<br \/>\nSpider-Man vs. Deadpool<br \/>\nMighty Thor<br \/>\nMs. Marvel<br \/>\nThe Falcon<br \/>\nPeter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man<br \/>\nWeapon X<br \/>\nMarvel Two-in-One\n<\/div>\n<p>\n[instagram-feed id=&#8221;1785926422&#8243; showheader=&#8221;false&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost 50 series confirmed to continue as the publisher pushes its new initiative across its superhero line this October.
