User blog comment:AskaniSon/Marvel Comics Will Use Avengers vs X-Men to Reboot its Universe/@comment-4206371-20120624095940

In the end there wont be a huge reboot like DC, if anything it will be just like how what they did with the Ultimate Universe, which is to rework some charcters and storylines, but all with what they have.

PLUS for anyone still wondering about your favorite charcters being dead stop worrying, really i get what you mean, really i do, but this is 616, not the Ultimate Marvel, your fav charcters will be back. Like its been said Marvels stories have been going on for a really long time. 616 is very heavily influenced by the many different universe theres no way a reboot fix both 616 sotryline as well as reworking and missing in all the other different universes. The real main truth is that after the reboot DC is doing way better than where they left off, maybe even making more money than Marvels comics, but Marvel always finds a way to bounce back.
