Guide to Marvel Legacy Era (early access for ALL Patrons!) (Patreon)

Here's part two of my one-two punch of Marvel Era guides, and oh my goodness was this one a lot more complicated than the first!

Marvel Legacy Era (2017 - 2018) - The Definitive Guide 

Log in to CK to access this page. Because this is not one of my typical full-scale collecting guides, I am making it available early to all patrons! Leave a comment if you do not have access to your CK login (or if your login will not allow you to access this page) and I'm happy to help.

This Marvel Legacy page covers every series that was released during Marvel Legacy, a brief six-month period of Marvel continuity that followed the ending of Secret Empire. 

For each series, it lists the launching creative team, explains where it continued from and where it will continue to, and links to the guide that contains the full reading order details.

Marvel Legacy was a peculiar period. Unlike most Marvel Eras, it didn't include the launch of many new series. In fact, that was it's selling point: stability. Less new stuff, fewer events, and a general refocus on some of the classic elements and heroes that make Marvel awesome.

To emphasize that last point, Marvel undertook a confusing and uneven tact of renumbering the series of long-running franchises with "Legacy Numbering" to reflect every issue ever released. This not only advanced some series hundreds of issues higher than they had ever been before (Avengers, Doctor Strange), but Marvel inexplicably didn't apply the numbering to every eligible series (Jessica Jones, Runaways, Secret Warriors, Thanos, Weapon X).

Despite that modus operandi, Legacy wound up being not much more stable than any previous era. Many series got the axe in this period, some after barely an arc into their Legacy renumbering (Generation X, Luke Cage, She-Hulk). And, there were multiple events in this period - they simply weren't line-wide and didn't involve many tie-ins.

Putting this page together proved just how few gaps I have in my Marvel coverage - especially of their line-up of "Legacy" titles. Aside from a lack of a Falcon page and a Spider-Man Spinoffs guide, all but one title were already covered on CK!

This era guide is just the second in a series. I'm hoping to launch them regularly - maybe once a month? As I get to older and older eras, the guides will require increasingly more research.

What's up next for comic guides? It will be a while (a month?) until the massive era guide covering All-New All-Different Marvel. Until then, you're in for one big DC guide and a few smaller Marvel guides in the coming weeks. 

(Honestly, one of the big challenges of this campaign is not giving you a ton of guides at all once when I get slightly ahead! I'm working on my pacing this month.)

As always, I value your feedback - both on this new guide and in general. Don't hesitate to comment to let me know your thoughts.
