Marvel Legacy rumours continue to eke out ahead of San Diego Comic-Con and with them comes the shape of the beast. Like blind men surrounding the elephant, it's taking time but we're getting vthere after a few false starts. This is what I think I'm seeing. A few previous rumours, with updates after discussions had. Remember, these are rumours. Sourced from good people, but rumours nevertheless and also subject to all sorts of changes.

Marvel Legacy will see many titles revert to the classic numbering and start new storylines with those issues. There will be lots of fuss around the storylines and the creators but they are paving the way for what is to come in 2018. That is when you will see a lot of those Legacy issues hit the big anniversary issues, and that is when you might see bigger changes to the books.

So Captain America will have the Chris Samnee/Mark Waid run from #694, but then followed by Ta-Nehisi Coates from #700 or #701.

Dan Slott will write The Fall Of Parker up to Amazing Spider-Man #800 and then Nick Spencer will write the series from #801 onwards.

Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic will indeed be taking over Avengers but not until the Spring 2018. They're building a buffer of material and planning ahead for the book. Expect an Avengers "event" (but nothing linewide) from December to April leading up to the movie. Thanos may be involved but is not the villain of the piece.

On and Chip Zdarsky on Marvel Two-In-One I just mentioned. Whether he will come on with The Fate Of The Four or later, I don't know.

So, that's what we have so far. Maybe some of this will be confirmed or scotched by whatever gets announced at San Diego Comic-Con.
