Os quadrinhos “Marvel Legacy” podem ser lidos sem o conhecimento de quadrinhos antigos?

Essa é, certamente, a ambição, pelo menos de acordo com a lança comunicado de imprensa . O objetivo é que a linha Marvel Legacy tenha o Legacy # 1 como uma entrada única -point para todos das novas histórias e, em seguida, para ter um ponto de entrada separado para cada um dos linhas separadas.

A new era of Marvel Comics kicks off in the fall with MARVEL LEGACY #1.

...

“This one-shot honors Marvel Comics’ past and it’s a good window into the present day Marvel Universe and then also sets the stage for where we’re gonna go in the future,” comments Aaron. “The main goal was just to be able to give this to someone who’s got no idea what’s going on in the Marvel right now and have that be a good entry point for them and I think it does that.”

...

Beginning this fall, long-running Marvel Universe titles will revert to their classic legacy numbering, honoring and restoring their long history, as new and epic storylines launch under the Marvel Legacy banner. Featuring clean entry points for every series, titles resuming their original numbering will be clearly marked with special trade dress and cover treatments. And that’s just the beginning!

"Whether you’re a fan of the core characters or all of the amazing faces we’ve introduced over the past couple of years, whether you’ve been there every Wednesday or you drifted away from Marvel at some point in the past, Marvel Legacy is your easy-access gateway to the future, a shot glass of the Power Cosmic!”

Um objetivo do Legacy é que ele será acessível e estimulante para novos leitores

O editor-chefe da Marvel, Axel Alonso, disse isso em uma entrevista (ênfase minha):

Easter eggs -- hidden nods to longtime fans -- are at the core of what "Legacy" is attempting to do, Alonso said. The content will be exciting for new fans, but will also pay off in a different way for hardcore fans of the Marvel Universe.

"With 'Legacy,' we want to tell stories that are accessible to all, but remind readers of Marvel’s rich history,” he said. “To drive that point home, a number of our titles will return to their original series numbering, and our stories will invoke that history, reminding readers of connections between characters they may have forgotten about, and ushering in the return of some big characters who’ve been missed. Above all else, we want to inject our comics with a massive dose of fun."

Apesar de Alonso deixar claro que os leitores antigos terão muito do Legacy, ele disse que será acessível e excitante para os novos leitores. Assim, você não deve ter para ler quadrinhos mais antigos.
