    "Read and find out," Alonso said of the possibility of a reboot.
    In other words:

    "Yes, it's a reboot."

    And the commentary about "not needing to fix history" is just a smokescreen. Nobody (except possibly Geoff Johns) was clamoring for Flashpoint to "fix" anything. It was about sales, pure and simple. And so is this.

    So it sounds like some books will be replaced (either temporarily or otherwise) with focuses on the Alternate Universes, certainly sounds like ASM will be where we have Renew Your Vows, and the X-Men books might focus on the umpteen alternate universes there. Maybe GOTG and Nova will have Infinity Gauntlet?

    As long as Hickman, Spencer and Waid are writing books during and after Secret Wars I have no reason to worry.

    Hickman is leaving Marvel after Secret Wars to focus on his own projects.

    Ugh. I will certainly give this a try, but really? I read these stories for the characters, and the only thing more corrosive to character integrity and development than time travel is alternate universes.

    I bet the titles that will be 'trimmed' will be mostly X-books.

    Why does everyone keep calling it a reboot? It's not. Reboot comes with reworking or completely redoing characters backstories, there is absolutely no indication this is happening, it seems like all characters are keeping their histories intact, it's just that some alternate universe characters will be joining the main universe. There may be a reLAUNCH after Secret Wars is done, but that's not the same as a reboot.

    I guess Hickman wants to go out with a BANG. His run has placed a huge focus on science fiction and multiverse than at any other period of time in Avengers history. To think that it all began with the Fantastic Four, only to be outclassed by the X-men, Avengers, and now Spider-man(Thanks to Dan Slott)....

    So....not really a reboot. More cherry picking the best stuff outside of 616 and folding it in?

    no doubt WW2 characters will be erased or updated, and Frank Castle too.
