Newsarama point out the following question posed to Tom Brevoort, along with his response. With many speculating that Marvel will be keeping a close eye on how DC does with their relaunch, it seems that the company do in fact have absolutely zero plans to head in that direction. In fact, the site quite rightly point out that they're currently doing the opposite, making the Marvel Universe ever more interconnected with events like
Fear Itself,
Schism and
Avengers: The Children's Crusade all wrapping up at the same time in preparation for a big 2012 event.
If DC controls market and money profit for a full year, would that make the reboot successful? and would marvel consider its own reboot at that point?
You and folks like you seem to consider the only answer to a successful DC reboot to be a Marvel reboot. I don’t think that’s even in the top ten–not that I think we’re going to need to get there long-term in any case.
A few days ago, I actually ran a poll asking you guys what you would think of Marvel rebooting their entire line of characters, and the overwhelming response was that you don't want to see that happen. Well, luckily it seems as there are most definitely no plans for such an occurrence in the MU. Although you do have to imagine that the bigwigs at Marvel and Disney are keeping an eye on just how well this is working out for DC...
