Brace yourselves: Marvel comics 'attempts' a "reboot" but not really.

[Cosmicman]

Is it just me or does this article pretty much say that Marvel comics is attempting some kind of reboot or new era?

Avengers/X-men forming one team?

I'm confused. Is this Marvel Comics idea of a reboot? An official black Nick Fury it looks like in the regular universe.

So confused.

It's going to be a half-assed "reboot" just like DC's... "Uncanny Avengers" is just one title, there will still be two separate Avengers and X-Men teams but there will be at least one cross-bred team featuring members from both.

The black Nick Fury is Nick Fury Jr., the white guy's son...

Bad ideas stay bad... ugh...

This is more of a marketing strategy than a continuity reboot. It seems Marvel is shuffling its creative deck on a lot of titles, introducing new No. 1s and changing a bit of the status quo without changing continuity.

Really wish DC hadn't been as radical and done something more like this.

I hate new #1 issues....I like the "legacy" numbering...

DC stole some thunder so they are just fighting back.
Plus The Avengers movie was so big they need to tie the Big X-men universe tighter to it so they can overwhem DC again.

I agree. But for whatever reason put a No. 1 on the same story and it generally sells better. If I had an active collection going, I'd be more irritated. It's got to be crazy to keep track of all the restarts and resets. I just read em and try to get rid of them, now.
