User blog comment:99spidey99/What are your ideas of Marvel rebooting with "NOW"?/@comment-5586119-20121207012147

To reiterate what ADour said, no, no continuity is changed. Only DC pulls stunts like that (i.e. the whole Crisis trilogy). Technically, it is a re-boot. Or just a fresh start with new #1's. And I know what you mean about the '90s. Those story-lines were rough. Especially the new female Doctor Octopus ones and the cyber war ones that were huge cross-over sagas. To me, at least. And Seward Trainer. I didn't like him. Nor did I like Norman's "resurrection". ASM #701 is bound to happen (in my hopes at least) but maybe not in the near future. Superior Spider-Man (ugh, it hurts typing that) will probably be taking over for a fair amount of time. A year and a half, maybe? [SPOILER AHEAD] After switching minds, a lot of plot holes are left dangling. Like maybe Pete switches minds with someone else so someone else takes HIS body to do Spidey stuff while he's in that OTHER person's body living another life. Slott's been teasing us with stuff but he says this Spidey will be set firmly in the Spider-Man history. Buuuut there's always that chance that Slott was just trying to trick us (yet again) by saying there'll be a NEW Spider-Man. Keep up that hope.
