• ALL-NEW WOLVERINE: Cover by Kris Anka is a homage to John Buscema's Fantastic Four #112. The cover is shows a battle between Laura and Daken which is a stark contrast to the warm sibling embrace they shared recently in the pages of All-New Wolverine.
• AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: Cover by Alex Ross is a homage to John Romita Sr.'s Amazing Spider-Man: A Rockomic. This album cover homage gives no clues.

Next up are six exclusive Marvel covers: 

• BEN REILLY: THE SCARLET SPIDER: Cover by Mark Bagley is a homage to John Romita, Sr.'s Amazing Spider-Man #51. The cover falls in line with September Solicitations  showing the Slingers standing over the Scarlet Spider.
• IRON FIST: Cover by (unknown artist) is a homage to Dave Cockrum's Iron Fist #14. The original comic featured the very first appearance of Sabretooth, and it appears that this is "Reintroducing The Savagery Of Sabre-Tooth." Could this mean the Axis effect has worn off of Sabretooth?  
• SPIDER-MAN VS. DEADPOOL: Cover by (unknown artist) is a homage to Steve Ditko's Amazing Spider-Man #34. The cover and title would suggest a return to a more antagonistic relationship between Spidey and Deadpool instead of their current bromance.
• THANOS: Cover by (unknown artist) is a homage to Mike Zeck's Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #12. The cover show Thanos emerging triumphant just as Doom did in that classic story. This could mean that will emerge victorious in his battle with his Phoenix-Powered son Thane from the September Solicitations.

Marvel saved the best for last with six Comic Fronltine exclusive covers: 

• MS. MARVEL: Cover by Jake Wyatt is a homage to Jack Kirby's Captain America #109. From the newspaper headlines she is breaking through it seems like all of Ms. Marvel's social activism has people calling into question where she stands.
• PETER PARKER: THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN: Cover by Paolo Siqueira is a homage to Al Milgrom's Captain America #260. Is Peter Parker going to jail? Could this be related to Parker Industries?
• THE FALCON: Cover by Elizabeth Torque is a homage to Ron Wilson's Iron Man #71. This is a new series, and The Falcon's first ongoing title, showing Sam Wilson in his new Falcon costume. What does this mean for the current avian-looking Falcon, Joaquin Torres? 
• THE MIGHTY THOR: Cover by Stephanie Hans is a homage to Jim Starlin's iconic cover to The Death of Captain Marvel. "The Death of The Mighty Thor" could be literal or symbolic as Captain Mar-Vell died of cancer, which Jane Foster is currently fighting a losing battle with thanks to the power of Thor.
• Assuming this cover is meant to be taken literally, Jane Foster's time as Thor may be rapidly coming to a close. Perhaps Marvel Legacy won't have two Thors co-existing after all.
• MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE: THE THING & THE HUMAN TORCH: Cover by Edgar Delgado is a homage to Rich Buckler's Fantastic Four #159. Marvel Two-in-One seems to be the series Axel Alonso teased earlier this week with the up-close shot of The Thing wearing a belt buckle with a "2" on it. This appears to be the closest thing fans will get to an actual Fantastic Four comic in Legacy so far.
• WEAPON X: Cover by Val Staples is a homage to Barry Windsor Smith's original Weapon X mini-series. Interesting note, while most of these covers feature redacated creator credits, this cover confirms that writer Greg Pak will remain on board Weapon X this fall.

It’s truly a connection that spans the expansive Marvel Universe as we honor the past while embracing the present!

It all begins this September with MARVEL LEGACY #1, an over-sized 50-page one-shot special that sets the stage for a brand new future – and beyond!
