Marvel Legacy Gets Its First Crossover As X-Men Blue And Gold Go "Mojo Worldwide"

Marvel Legacy hasn't even started, and we've already got word on its first Crossover. Writers Marc Guggenheim and Cullen Bunn will team up with artists Jorge Molina and the prolific TBA for the crossover. It's unknown if TBA will remain on the book past the crossover, which is only scheduled now to run between the X-Men Blue and X-Men Gold books. Fear not, though; there's still time to announce an Alpha and Omega issue for $5.99 each. We would be remiss in not mentioning that Bleeding Cool first told you about this back in April.

In an interview with ComicBook.com, Bunn explains the premise(s) behind the story:

Let's tackle this one from a story perspective AND a meta perspective (hey–you brought it up). From a story perspective, Mojo is experiencing crashing ratings in his home dimension. The reason for this ratings nose-dive will have to remain a secret for now, because it's fun and I don't want to spoil the surprise.

From a meta perspective, we knew we wanted to do a Mojo story, but some of us worried that readers don't find Mojo to be much of a threat because his stories always take place in the alternate dimension of Mojoworld. Well, we decided to blow that misconception out of the water straight away by bringing Mojo to our world. We want Mojo to be sort of quirky and weird, but also scary and threatening. And we're bringing him right to your doorstep.

The basic concept is that Mojo invades New York and pulls villains and storylines from the X-Men's past, allowing for a lot of possibilities to tug at those nostalgia strings by revisiting the X-Men's "greatest hits." Some specific stories teased include Days of Future Past and Asgardian Wars, along with characters like Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix. Bunn also teases Kitty finding out that Jean's team of original X-Men is working with Magneto during Mojo Worldwide.
