User blog comment:AskaniSon/Marvel Comics Will Use Avengers vs X-Men to Reboot its Universe/@comment-1671874-20120619150321

One thing that really helped me officially enjoy Marvel over DC (besides just the awesomeness of X-Men) was the fact that Marvel didn't reboot their material every 20ish years. While a reboot could be extremely confusing and possibly negative, DC recently had one anyway. It didn't end up too badly on the negative side, but the continuity mistakes and confusion is everywhere... I would almost never want to see a reboot, and I hope Marvel would never do one. But believe me, if they wanted to, they could. However, Tom Brevoort and others have said multiple times that this will not be a rebooted universe, so you have nothing to worry about...maybe. Who knows, maybe they'll pull an Onslaught-like move and "kill" off all the heroes again? Maybe the Phoenix really does restart the mutant race? Hmmm...
