Snyder shares the cover to Metal #1. Devil horns can't be trademarked.

That's a terrible cover lol

 

[Malyse]

Another Castke is my favorite thing. God that art is so gorgeous.

Also, Disney should let Amy Mebberson do digital shorts.

 

[LordOfLore]

That's a terrible cover lol

DC agrees.

 

[Wanderer5]

The concept for that cover is great, but yeeeah I don't know.

 

[Dusknoir]

I can see the devil horns but it's still a bad cover.
Edit: The more I look at it, the more I like. I'm expecting silly and epic things in this event.

 

[Messi]

I'm not using that in the OP. Lemme tell you that much.

There are three people in my Wonder Woman screening

When Marvel Legacy #1 spins out of Generations, it won’t just team-up modern Marvel heroes with their predecessors – it’ll go all the way back to the dawn of Marvel’s timeline to introduce the Avengers of 1,000,000 B.C., featuring some surprising and familiar faces.

According to Marvel, the Avengers B.C. (consisting of Odin and Agamotto alongside ancient versions of Iron Fist, Black Panther, Ghost Rider, Phoenix, and Star Brand) are just the tip of the iceberg for Marvel Legacy #1.

“Marvel Legacy #1 isn’t simply a history lesson,” said Marvel Senior VP and Executive Editor Tom Brevoort in a statement. “Rather, it’s the starting gun to a bevy of mysteries and secrets and revelations that will reverberate across the Marvel Universe in the weeks and months to come! No character, no franchise will be untouched by the game-changing events that play out across its pages. Jason and Esad pulled out all the stops to fat-pack this colossal issue with as much intrigue, action, surprise, mystery, shock and adventure as possible!”

You know Marvel, this would have been good if you haven't told me Generations, Legacy and the SE Omega were all happening weeks of each other.

 

[LordOfLore]

I'm not using that in the OP. Lemme tell you that much.

Just use the inevitable variant by Fabok or arrange the DC covers to form horns.

I typically like Capullo but that cover is straight garbage. Looks totally phoned in.

 

[LordOfLore]

You know Marvel, this would have been good if you haven't told me Generations, Legacy and the SE Omega were all happening weeks of each other.

And all are spinning out of each other so you need like 25 issues to be caught up, most of which are $4.99 or more.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Oh awesome, I can't remember if it was Thor of Strange, but Aaron referenced some of these characters before right? I remember the Iron Fist and Ghost Rider references and thinking it was cool he was playing with that mythology.

Edit: that's right. Different era as the Legacy issue will take place, but you can see his intent to explore the legacy aspect to these characters in mighty thor #6-7, the strongest viking there is two partner. Very cool.

You obviously don't have to read all of that stuff.

Yup.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Yup.

Haha, it was bugging me so I went and checked, just edited my previous post. Thanks though, I knew it rung a bell. I really liked that story and the stuff he was tipping his hat towards.

 

[flaxknuckles]

Completed cover


You obviously don't have to read all of that stuff.


Yup.

I don't understand why that Legacy cover has everyone but Captain Marvel in their old costumes. And if the event is about returning characters to their regular status quos why is she on there in the first place instead of Mar-vell?

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Metal cover is a good reminder that Capullo is not good at being subtle

 

[Sandfox]

I'm guessing it's branding-related. Carol is a part of that era, but want her to be seen as Captain Marvel

 

[Captain Skeleton]

DC agrees.

HAH!

 

[Freezasaurus]

The concept for that cover is great, but yeeeah I don't know.

That cover is fucking dog shit. It's so fucking bad that I'm offended.

I'm not using that in the OP. Lemme tell you that much.

See? That cover is even too shitty for Messi.

 

[ElNarez]

Metal cover is a good reminder that Capullo is not good at being subtle

yeah, and that's why it owns

you gotta picture it with the cover gimmick too, like, look at the finish on the cover of The Forge, get hype for maximum bullshit and a damn fine object

 

[IrishNinja]

Disney honoring Jack Kirby more than Marvel.

"The problems with Miles Morales atm"

the former: ouch
the latter: a few points (weal villain cast, not wanting to be spidey etc) are dead on..the racial stuff that "sounds like a white guy that doesn't know about racism" is straight bendis

BC: Oh god, yet another extra Secret Empire issue added.

ahahaha jesus Spencer, just wrap it up man

DC agrees.

capullo can do good art but damn this ain't it
watch him blame the sjws somehow

You know Marvel, this would have been good if you haven't told me Generations, Legacy and the SE Omega were all happening weeks of each other.

I wanna be surprised but after secret war's ending literally bleeding monthis into ANAD I'm not

aw what - that's awesome, gotta reread those now
cool that Aaron planted these seeds, cant wait for generations & legacy now

also is esad ribic just covers or interior too? cause I love dude but his work isn't usually timely

Ribic is doing the interior and Quesada did the cover.

 

[IrishNinja]

Ribic is doing the interior and Quesada did the cover.

hoo boy
I'm getting em mixed up now though - when do generations & legacy start, and how long are they both going for?
also isn't October typically when we see a shakeup of cancellations & new titles?

Generations is 10 one-shots releasing August-September and Legacy #1 releases in September. They haven't released details about the line yet.

Nah. I mean, you're probably partially right, but I think something about her resonated with the fans and DC just ran with it. So it was smart marketing on their part once she began gaining popularity. I doubt the intention for her to be this big was there from the start.

It's a shame they couldn't do the same for Static and John Stewart when they were on TV.

DC caught the wave, nobody could blame them.

Yeah thats a bad and boring cover. Also, I find the logo's lighting to be inconsistent!

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Because, as Messi has pointed out before, Harley is basically a female Deadpool. People love that.

okay cool, do we know that one's creative team too?

okay but imagine if she was just a spoof of another company's villain, no way the cosplay crowd could prop that up

 

[mreddie]

Deadpool > Harley > Gwenpool

 

[Freezasaurus]

Yeah thats a bad and boring cover. Also, I find the logo's lighting to be inconsistent!

The logo looks like they used a shitty default texture in Photoshop. And there's just too much empty space in the picture. They really shit the bed on the composition, here.

Wonder who it could be lol. It has to be Franklin right? I mean after Secret Wars he's the one that created the current MU.

Kinda wish this wasn't just a one-shot though, eve if it's 50 pages. This better bring back some of the OG classics.

How many casuals even know who Franklin is? I'd wager the whole affair is going to be underwhelming, in any case.

I really need the Fantastic 4 back, though.

Ike and his buddy Trump can both fall into a pit.

Sorry FOX bailed you assholes out by buying the movie rights when you were going bankrupt...

You are wrong then.

Because, as Messi has pointed out before, Harley is basically a female Deadpool. People love that.

She was super popular before DC Deadpooled her.

The only possible choice.

It's gonna be Banner. Ike still has that FUCK FOX shit,

The X-Men seem to be doing pretty well in that regard lately.
