Marvel Has Already Messed Up Legacy Numbers on X-Men…

Published Thu, 25 Apr 2019 12:30:45 -0500

When Marvel launched Marvel Legacy, they brought many titles back to their 'legacy' numbering, with the issue number that would have been if the comic in question had never been relaunched. Then with Fresh Start, they relaunched them all again with new shiny #1s again. But the cover also included their legacy number in a small box. It was an attempt to appeal to both the collector and new readers attracted by a shiny new issue 1.

There have been a few hiccups along the way, with mini-series such as Avengers: No Road Home being counted as part of the ongoing series, seeing the Avengers ongoing comic jump ten points on its Legacy numbering as a result.

But the new Uncanny X-Men and the mini-series X-Men: War Of The Realms have a new trick – both having the same legacy number. That of Uncanny X-Men #635.

Take a look….

Oops…

Which will I'll count as the real Uncanny X-Men #635? Will Marvel issue a sticker that collectors can place on the cover of one of these? Or will one of them have to be #635 1/2? only time will tell…
