Pymtron is such a cool concept. His underuse still hurts.
Partner him up with something cute, have Hope drop in every once in a while and you have an awesome solo on your hands.

Rebirth is great and all, but Marvel didn't really have a nu52 that necessitate it. Honestly, I love the focus on the next generation of heroes. I'm hoping that Legacy will further push them in the spotlight rather than placing the focus back on the old guards.
Pymtron is on one of the Secret Empire covers so something is happening with him at least.
I think that will depend on the book, though I expect a good number to continue their runs.
I agree but how they did some of them was shit. Mainly the Ironheart push but I'm getting her book and Iron Doom because hey, Demon in a Bottle happened and Tony wasn't Iron Man for a minute.
It does seem both old and new will get a shared view and not fucking Solo.
Yeah I feel like If anything they are taking the newer generation of popular alternate characters and bringing them to the world of the Originals so they can be held alongside the Popular Originals and coexist.

It's like they never learn.
They are but to some it's too late.

Jason Aaron has been writing an ongoing Thor epic since 2012.
Dan Slott has been writing Spider-Man since 2008 (first part of a collective, then solo).
Brian Bendis has been writing Ultimate Spider-Man since 2000. He wrote it all the way through the end of that Ultimate Universe and is still writing Miles Morales, who has now moved into the main Marvel Universe.
People bitch and moan about the constant reboots, but those "reboots" are just promotional campaigns. They launch new books, bring new creative teams to existing books, and try to line up the beginnings of big new chapters of long runs to try to get new readers onto those. These are all things that happen naturally as things go along anyway, but they just try to line a lot of it up at the same time so they can slap a name on it and promote it all together.
Long runs in progress can and do stay in progress. Even if they get a new #1 along the way for a sales boost, the runs continue if things are going well creatively and financially.
This specific news sounds like they are learning, so I'm not sure what you're issue is on this one.
- No big events for at least 18 months.
- Returning classic characters while maintaining the new legacy versions
- Returning to original numbering so likely no more #1s every year
I wish Marvel would drop the teen OG X-Men and get back to Hope, the Lights, and the Wolverine and the New Young X-Men: Academy casts.
Also double triple quadruple RIP Runaways, Anya Corazon and the Avengers Academy alumni.
Two of these (Squirrel Girl, Black Bolt/Inhumans) are already headed to TV. Moon Girl will probably not get a screen adaption
Kamala? America Chavez (her solo might be bad but there's nothing wrong with the character)?
This is the only piece of Marvel art by Alex Ross I think I've ever really liked.

So this is separate from that Marvel Generations thing?
Edit: nvm

you didnt like his secret wars art?
I didn't remember half and hadn't seen the rest. Looking at them now, I really like the Dr. Doom one. Not as much as the Marvel Legacy one, but still. The others, well, he's an amazing artist, no doubt, but I can't say I really like them. They're cool, but it stops there for me. I don't know why. I guess his style and sensibilities just don't align with my own preferences and perspective on comics, superheroes in particular.

Really does look like OG Logan is coming back
Also the Mar-Vell version of Captain Marvel too.

If they brought back OG Logan and gave him *that* costume I'd flip

Despite her powers, Kamala seems better suited for tv although I personally don't like her regardless. Lol at America Chavez.
Constantin, to the best of my knowledge, holds the movie rights to Fantastic Four. There is an ongoing (legal) battle about the future of Constantin and its divisions. It's pretty ugly.
Now I have no idea what their exact deal with Fox is, it is not impossible that they have full active control and don't need to involve Constantin, but I would not get my hopes up.
Is Moon Girl popular or just being pushed? Personally love the book, but always feel like I'm the only one reading it. However, I admit that I'm not the intended audience of the book. Just wondering if she's actually successful in her target demographic?

I'm in no hurry to get Mar-Vell back, ever. People around here say Carol is boring but ooof. Mar-Vell is such a redundant cookie cutter Silver Age square jawed white guy empty suit that they even realized it back then and offed him because they had no clue what to do with the character.
A powerful space guy who flies around and has vague, flexible, super overpowered powers? At this point what purpose could he possibly serve that isn't better told starring Adam Warlock, Thor (either one), Nova (either one), Quasar, Surfer, etc.

When you realize the Novas were there and now aren't even in the Generations maxi.
Rider fans didn't show up.
It's gonna be a cocktease like all the other times we thought he was brought back.

All 4 of them?
Personally I think Guardians should be Marvel's only cosmic book at the moment, though Thanos seems to be doing decent enough for them.

Really? Why is that? Other than sales of course.
I haven't touched Guardians in a while but both Nova and Thanos are pretty much my favorite Marvel titles right now by a wide margin. Sam and Ryder are a fun duo.
Sales are pretty much the sole reason. I loved the latest Nova run, but I don't think he or the Guardians are capable of carrying solos right now. It would be better for Marvel to try again in the future. I'm excited for Duggan's Guardians run based on interviews and his past work though.

i like it, sam deserves a book but maybe put spencer on just one of em
yeah of who marvel retained he's good, wish we had more of em back though
id be okay leaving him gone too but yeah, not happening
now see OML in a younger body i'm down for, he's a more interesting character
..maybe we should leave him in chains
x-men as a team hasn't been interesting since messiah war or so, and that feels a good 10 years back - well, wolverine leading the school was a surprisingly good book but mostly it's not a great corner of their universe & hasn't been forever now
god i hope so!
this really is the best news

ASM #252 is of course itself a homage to Amazing Fantasy #15

Honestly, the biggest reason a fair number of people I talked to had faith in Rebirth is that the leads at DC did a press tour where they were fairly honest and candid about their failings. Even if it was just PR, it was hard to not come away with the sense that they knew they had messed up, and wanted to do it right.
I have zero faith in Marvel to do the same, just because it's Marvel and the attitude I've seen from their editorial team and leaders like Alonso, Brevoort, and Quesada brings to mind the image of people getting high off of their own gas.
It has been long enough to where I'm sure there are people buying Marvel Comics right now who think that the number of events they do, a title going past 12 issues, and all of the stuff that marvel does right now is how they've always done stuff. There's even people who aren't aware that Spider Man has been written by people other than Dan Slott. That's how long they've been doing it. I really have a hard time not seeing them simply continue to do business as normal.
"Marvel's Rebirth"? *laughs* I'll believe it when I see it, and we're talking a full twelve month period here of all killer, no filler, and especially no bullshit.

I'm pretty sure the Moon Girl cover is referencing this:

Wait, so these are just the current runs with "retro" style covers?

Yep, that gif caught me off guard too before I realized they got it wrong.
Aside from that, these covers are okay but the only way for Marvel to make me care about Legacy will be the creative teams. I was expecting a lot from the X-Men relaunch but... Yeah. Cable could be alright at least.

These both cannot be true. Generation is an event, they just don't call it an event. Look for more of this bullshit during that 18 month period.

Bendis has been writing Spider-Man for 17 years...

In for ASTONISHING X-MEN, though I thought Mystique was on the team.
