COMICS: Axel Alonso Talks Post AVENGERS VS. X-MEN Marvel "Reboot" Speculation

Oh sweet, another "game changing" super-event. Because you're so good at them marvel.

Glad Marvel's not doing that stupid shit that gave DC a half point margin sales more its first month. LOL.

Its kinda entertaining to see heroes fight themselves, much different than always going after the bad guys.

Interesting he didn't say yay or nay though... lol... Personally while in a few years I'd say that Marvel could use a reboot, I'd at least let them finish AvX, and maybe the Age of Ultron before I even thought about a reboot. The biggest thing that why I'd like a reboot is because the messed up Spider-man soooo bad and there is no way to go back really. Which is sad because Marvel was doing most everything right till "One More Day" happened. It's sad.

@Batmanrises: They take their leads from one another. They've always been healthy competitors.

They sorta kinda need to tone down the "...And Nothing Will Ever Be The Same!" kind-of speak. They always seem to be promoting something that's gonna be a real game-changer.... and then it seems like it kinda fizzles.

From the Skrull Invasion to the Civil War... did anything really change? Aren't Cap, IM, and Thor still kinda buddies? Thor is only gonna be dead for a few minutes, as we all know. Hell, when he killed the Thing in Fear Itself that DID look kinda cool.... but then they brought Thing back in the very same issue!

They say these things "transform" the Marvel Universe, but all they do is 'transform' Wolverine from one magazine to another. Kinda shameless marketing. And like some have noted here earlier, it would be really nice if they just got back to good storytelling & dropped all the bells & whistles & gimmicks.

Thank GOD reboot the X-Men... No other comic movie needs a reboot as much as that one. I don’t even care if this last movie was ok, they Fu%*ed up that series so bad a reboot is in order. I would rather have an ok movie with everything comic correct than some sh*t director’s visionary art piece of dog crap like we always get with X-men movies!

I like his enthusiasm, but this is very predictable. They battle, someone dies (or returns from death), a villain watches in the shadows and plots his takeover, they realize the fight is stupid and come together against a greater threat. Or not. I can even see Professor X returning as an elite villain. Does anyone even care anymore? These stories have become a group of irrelevant pages of dialog full of eye candy. Marvel is the new comic-strip club...

*On- damn edit lack...

Marvel cant and shouldnt ever do a reboot...Marvel is all about the continuing story line...look at brand new day...

Just bring your A game to rival DC and all will be well..

Wasn't Marvel's Ultimates line a sort of DC reboot before DC ever rebooted?

Still give the promotional and financial success DC has had with the reboot, it will be hard for Marvel not to follow suit in some way. And the comic book game has always been a copycat league.

I think the writers are just too young or perhaps haven't really read & absorbed the older stories --- you know: the stories that made us actually care about these characters in the first place.

I go back to how badly they've ruined the X-Men in recent years. Colossus USED to be solid organic steel... yet now he only has "steel skin". Bleeds all the time. Fail.

Wolverine USED to be this cool character with a dark past & uncontrollable rages.... now he acts like he can't remember that he used to kill at the drop of a dime. Schizm was crap. Wolvie forgot that the X-Men started out as teenagers fighting for their lives; he forgot that he taught Shadowcat [and Jubilee] how to be killers if need be... and comes off as this naive wanna-be peacenik & splits up the team? Fail. Garbage.

Cyclops used to be able to kick the entire team's ass, INCLUDING Wolverine's, but nowdays it's like the writers don't know that he's a tactical genius & has depth/angular perception as part of his power set, so the Cyc/Wolvie fight lasted way too friggin long.

And why the hell is Wolverine in every issue & on every team? SHAMELESS bullshit.

They rarely show Storm as powerful as she is.
They've got convoluted X-Titles falling out of everyone's butt.... Really, what is X-Men Legacy supposed to be about?? Just another title that they can throw "X-Men" on?

Marvel needs some mature, old-school writers to come back & do this sh*t right. They're all about extreme-this and extreme-that, and the stories suffer.

And they cancelled The Hidden Years?? That was one of the best X-titles they'd had in years.
Guess it was too good and they had to dumb down the reading pool a bit.

@noRegrets: ikr?

I know it's a business for these guys, and they're pretty much just interested in selling millions of copies. I don't fault them for being entrepreneurs & making money at their craft. It's just that there's a percentage of collectors out here who do actually enjoy a good story and the reason we come back for more is on the hopes that there'll be another gem in the works. Unfortunately, it seems like the really good jaw-dropping stories come out only around 25% of the time, if that.

There have been moments during the Whedon/Cassaday run on Astonishing that made me holler out loud with delight. Same thing with Bebdis' Daredevil run years ago.

The current OMAC series that DC is doing is friggin awesome, imo ---- very, very large tip o the hat to the Kirbyesque stylings and the "comic booky" storytelling.

Different books can be appreciated for different reasons, and you hit the jackpot when you've got the right artist teamed up with the right writer.

Unfortunately, most of it on the stands is kinda sub-par. I'm just glad they let us leaf through the books at the comic shop ---- I've dodged many a money-wasting bullet by previewing 'em first.
