    Default 9 more books confirmed to continue during Legacy

    According to Newsarama: Runaways, Rocket, I Am Groot, Nick Fury, Infamous Iron Man, Dr. Strange & the Sorcerers Supreme, Ultimates˛ and Inhumans: Once & Future Kings. It looks like those weren't cancelled, but they are not going to be given the ''Legacy brand'' for some reason. The 9th title hasn't been revealed yet.

    I actually am very surprised that they're giving She-Hulk her own book again over Black Widow, considering how the Hulk sales are so rapidly declining.

    That's in general. Majority of books that were released more recently haven't been doing well unless it's an X book. Even then, sustainability of Generation X and the solos are quite questionable. Much as I'd love a Black Widow solo, I don't think it will be immune if it were re-released at this point in time.

    Marvel has both unit and dollar market share but that's primarily thanks to Star Wars, events, renumberings/#1s and higher prices. Secret Empire may be doing very poorly compared to Civil War II but it's still a lot higher than the next best Marvel Universe ongoing that's not a #1-3 (ASM #27 ~50K).

    Seriously, a lot of their lower selling books are probably sub-only by now that they should just do day and date Marvel Unlimited. Might even help improve preorder trade sales.

    Well, Waid and Samnee's book ended, so that's probably part of it. I may be too charitable, but I wonder if Marvel is trying to let the books it currently has get a chance to find its feet even if sales are poor. The corresponding other side is they ruthlessly cut books right before this, so they don't have too many poor books.

    ...How is Infamous going to continue? The September solicit sounded pretty final and from the covers it seems Victor will be appearing in the Invincible book until Tony comes back. Also, wasn't O&FK a mini?

    Yeah, I'm just assuming this means it will still be wrapping up but the last couple of issues will be published while legacy is starting.

    Same here. As a sidenote, I really hope Priest gets to write something Marvel related. His Deathstroke is one of the best books in the market.

    Once & Future King's a limited though right? I mean it sounds like a limited.

    I'll believe those books aren't cancelled when they turn up in the October solicits, and no sooner.

    Agreed....considering how Marvel has handled canceling books in the last year or so, I bet they just don't have the balls or courtesy to say they're done.
    Plus, most of these books are near the bottom of the barrel for Marvel...can't see them keeping most of them around, Legacy or no Legacy. (In fact, I thought it was already confirmed that Sorcerers Supreme was cancelled. I am curious, however, how they're going to wrap up Ultimates in two issues).
    And, yeah. Once and Future is a mini!

    The 9th title is Runaways.

    Also
    When asked about the remaining eight Marvel Universe titles, the Marvel source said that those titles' placement will be revealed in time.
    I don't take that as a "no, they aren't cancelled", but rather as a "can't say anything now".
    But I sure hope they are still going, since 2 of my 3 favorite series are on that list.

    That doesn't confirm they aren't cancelled outside Runaways...
    (I'd also assume Inhumans: Once & Future Kings is fine since it's an out of continuity mini-series, it wouldn't make sense to be in legacy)
    Current Pull: Lazarus, The Realm, Seven to Eternity, Aquaman, Flash, Justice League Dark, Justice League Odyssey, Sideways, Black Panther, Captain America, Daredevil, Death of the Inhumans.

    Future Pull: Killmonger.

    I'd be genuinely surprised to see those Rocket and Groot books keep going.

    The Inhumans book hasn't even come out yet, so it's no surprise that it's still planned. Same with Runaways, obviously.

    I was expecting Ultimates to continue, but not covered under Legacy ?

    I wonder if the fact that these books aren't covered under Legacy while still ongoing means Marvel have different end points in mind for them, which is why they're continuing at all?
