Marvel Comics Going Retro for 'Legacy' Relaunch

And there's no reason they can't still push a progressive agenda with new books, if they so desire. Make a team book out of the new characters.  If they don't sell, it's the fault of the readership. You can't blame the publisher for lack of diversity if the product is available and nobody's buying it. I just think it's counterproductive to hijack existing heroes in some kind of literary affirmative action attempt. 

It's just too much at once.  In theory, I prefer the idea of 'legacy' heroes; meaning, the name lives on through a new character as they're doing now.  But it reeks of pandering when you pull stunts like they have in recent times with Iron Man, Thor and Cap all at the same time.
