RaijinK: "I wouldn't be surprised if they declared an end to the entire universe numbering system though. That's going to be a fun day around here, won't it?"

One of my first thoughts was that it would create a LOT of work for the Marvel wiki...

I think the primary effort here is to stop having their comic books separated into Ultimate comics and regular ol' Marvel Comics... This won't stop them from having parallel universes in the future, or from doing "What If"s and time travel-spawned universes (like Age of Apocalypse). I kind of felt this was coming ever since they destroyed the Age of Apocalypse universe.
