    Default Marvel Universe To Be Completely Rebooted, DC Style? *RUMOUR*

    http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/05/...onths-in-septe

    I've put it here rather than make an article so far, as it's just speculation, but what are people's thoughts?

    Ugh....I hope it never happens (and there is really no need for it).

    I don't see a complete reboot as happening. As per usual with Marvel, they want you to think that all their "events" drastically change the status quo for all of their titles, forever; but they never actually do - it's all an advertising smokescreen to get you to buy more titles for a few months every year. If you believe anything that Marvel says, they'll sell you a bridge every month.

    I am completely against it in every way without even clicking on the link. The whole point of the universe is continuity. Start an Ultimate Universe or something but keep the 616. Period.

    I'd be interested in a universe where Peter Parker got bitten by a radioactive chicken, where Mjolnir is a magical stapler, where Wolverine killed Hulk when they first battled, and where John Byrne never left Alpha Flight. Anything short of that, and I'll pass.

    Yeah...

    I think that if it happened I'd probably just use the opportunity to draw a line under my collection.

    I'd possibly pick up an Alpha Flight title in digital form, but it just wouldn't be the same for me.

    Unless of course it meant Byrne coming back to AF - then I'd be crusading for the reboot.

    Hello, rug. *YANK!!!*

    Funnily enough, I use Uncanny #544 in exactly that way - I have those 528 issues (as of my recent trip to the US), but I don't think I have a single one of the rebooted series.

    Like Rob, I'm against it without even clicking on the link. DC managed to make two series that got my interest - out of 52.
    It managed to make 0 that kept my interest.

    If Marvel goes back to the 90s, too, too bad.
    If it just reboots, without doing it that way - I'm not a fan of that, either. Also, isn't that what the Ultimate Universe was for?

    In today's Thanos Annual #1, there's a huge reference to all time stopping soon. The time frame Avatar Thanos gives is a few years. Sounds a hell of a lot like a re-boot scenario to me, or maybe it's just another one of Starlin's "Thanos does some existentially bad thing to the entire universe" "Then it gets un-done" things.

    I think that might be a lead in to Starlin's Thanos OGN.

    Cool if that's all it is...
    but the Nu52 started out as nothing more than a The Flash crossover.

    I'm sick to death of DC's reboots (which the latest one can't even keep it's new continuity straight)...Ugh.

    Such as? (I am curious because I feel like I collect 90% of the New 52, and not sure what is broken?)

    I was going to ask the same thing, as I haven't heard much continuity complaints from DC fans (once they got over the reboot itself).

    I know the Robins' continuity was messed up: Tim Drake being referred to as a former Robin, yet he supposedly was always Red Robin and "never a Robin". The original Teen Titans were referred to in "Red Hood and The Outlaws", yet they supposedly never existed.
