After months of teases, Marvel Comics is finally revealing the titles that will make up their Legacy relaunch this fall. Legacy will include a mix of current, relaunched and entirely new comics, all of which seek to embrace Marvel's core heroes and ideals while looking ahead to a brighter future for the Marvel Universe.
Marvel is announcing these books in a unique way. Over the course of the day, different websites will be debuting a series of animated images that morph from a classic, iconic Marvel cover into a modernized update, each one spotlighting a different piece of the Legacy puzzle. We've put together a round-up of all of these animated covers. Keep checking back throughout the day, as we'll continue to update this article whenever new covers are revealed.
Also note that Marvel isn't revealing the creative teams for these new books yet. Look for that information to hit sometime between now and SDCC next month.
