Heh, just goes to show how ridiculous this whole idea is. I think Aaron is in way over his head.
Continuity died a long time ago. I don't think they really care about the details of a relaunch or a major shift. Six months later it'll all revert back to normal anyway.
"Your book isn't selling high enough so we're relaunching it with someone more WORTHY!" On a nitpick continuity note, Thor loses his hammer in this issue and Steve Rogers still has the super-soldier serum. In Captain America #22 Steve Rogers has lost the super-soldier serum, yet Thor still has his hammer. They can't even get this relaunch **** right.
