- With the "massive" success and lack of backlash from DC rebooting...now it is Marvel's turn right? Does this mean that we will only get one year of ASM before it is rebooted?
Honestly this is all the collector/readers fault. We are enabling the publishers to bring back the gimmicks of the early 90's.Favorite Quote: "You're not just some guy in a bat costume are you?

- Yawn...I sometimes think the reboot is now the excuse for "We screwed this thing up so badly even WE don't like it and can't figure out what to do with it."

- I would think that. However, in this case I think maybe they are running out of stories and having to have all of the history so why not do a 100% reboot and nothing applies anymore. Ultimately I would look at this as a money grabbing initiative.

- link not working.
Man, I hope this turns out to be false. Unlike the DC universe pre-crisis, the Marvelverse is pretty coherent. Besides some timeline issues (Punisher serving in Vietnam would make him at least 60) everything makes sense.

- Well if this does happen, Marvel won't have to worry about bringing Wolverine back from the dead after they kill him off in a few months. Reboot the Marvel universe and presto - Wolverine is alive and well.

- I think I would be ok with this. When they "rebooted" with the Ultimate universe I liked most of the storylines. Of course those did not really take the place of the normal universe so it wasn't a true reboot, but it did show what they could do with starting fresh and bringing the stories into the current day.
Might be a little too soon after the Ultimate universe for a full reboot, but maybe they will do it well. DC had a decent run with the New 52, I enjoy most of the stories and it let them clear the slate. I guess we will just have to wait and see.Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on: we set up your computers, we deliver your email, we connect your calls, we backup your files, we guard your networks while you sleep. Do not %@&# with us. - paraphrased from Fight Club

- I've said for years that at this point, the comic books seem little more than a handy way to make sure they maintain the copyright on the characters so they can make oodles of money off of the movies, television, toys, etc - basically everything else.
And yes, it's probably a money grab too.
Honestly, as I've said before on these boards. One of the things I LIKED about the older universes was the sense of history and continuity. But then, in those days, people tended to settle into a title for a few years (or more). Now, people are on a title for a year, maybe two, then everything changes. No one seems to know what the history of the characters is...or even seems to care.
