Venom #150 |
According to a brief report at The Beat, it sounds like that may be on the table. Marvel Comics reportedly spoke with retailers about "the legacy numbering returning post-Secret Empire." This occured during a closed-door meeting with retailers Thursday at Diamond Comics Distributors' Retailer Summit.
If Marvel returns titles to their original numbering in some form, it would follow in the footsteps of Venom - a new ongoing launched in January 2017, which will jump to #150 in May and continue with #151 in June and #152 in July. Previously, Marvel had reverted to so-called 'legacy' numbering for special issues of certain titles like Uncanny X-Men and She-Hulk, but reverted back its previous, lower numbering after one issue.
DC Comics' two longest-running titles, Detective Comics and Action Comics, reverted back to their original pre-New 52 numbering in June 2016 as part of "Rebirth," and both are within a few years of reaching issue #1000.
