But continuity isn't being erased. That is the difference. This is a retooling and not a reboot. Since you know Marvel doesn't do complete reboots like DC does.
Got me thinking, who will be Marvel's Cyborg, post Secret Wars? You know the dude that is suddenly big leagues.

Except they specifically aren't referencing ONLY this event when they say they are mixing and matching parts of other universes with the mainstream universe.
You think Marvel can't/won't issue another brand new #1 once the event is over? You underestimate their business tenacity.
I'll call this a reboot and you can call this retooling. Again, semantics. It's not a Crisis on Infinite Earth reboot, but it's a New 52 reboot/retooling/whatever you call it.
That's actually the thing I love most about Marvel. Sometimes they just don't give a fuck. Captain America dies, the storyline in the book continues for a whole year before someone else even becomes a new Captain America, and then it continues for another 2 years after that before Steve Rogers returns.
patriot. dude has been awol since childrens crusade
Nothing was really announced. It wasn't even a press conference. It was a streaming event for fans to promote Secret Wars and hype it up.
Marvel is going to have some fun, then merge the main universe and the Ultimate Universe.

DC launched Red Lanterns, a new Justice League International spinning out of Brightest Day, and modified several other #1s to fit the new continuity when they rebooted. They even allowed Morrison's Batman and Geoff Johns's Green Lantern runs to continue even though everything else was rebooted holesale. The big 2 can't seem to reboot properly. Valiant did it right by starting the whole universe over from scratch but I think Marvel and DC feel they can have their cake and eat it too by doing the ol' "soft" reboot routine.

Well here's to hoping Nico joins the Avengers how Cyborg joined the JLA.
Yeah, lets go.
Yeah, lets go.

No matter what happens, I'm fairly hype. I read the original Secret Wars back in the 80s and it was fun enough. Can't wait to see what they do here.
The only thing I don't think Marvel is doing well is communicating what comics to buy to lead up. Is it just Avengers/New Avengers? Nothing else? They need to drop a list/timeline.

Isn't it more like select parts of the ultimate universe are joining the 616?

are there like 7 superheroes left in the universe? I mean you could probably put the cast of the whole universe in a studio apartment.
Main stuff is just Avengers/New Avengers. Might want to read the older stuff Hickman has written too, like Secret Warriors, SHIELD, and his Fantastic Four run. He loves playing the "connect everything" narrative game towards the end of his storylines.

Basically, yes. They're applying their own spin on what DC editorial attempted with their Nu52. The difference being they saw what didn't work, and are attempting to avoid the same pitfalls with tweaks on the overall strategy.
People are mostly arguing over the somewhat fluid definition of "reboot" as it pertains to fictional universes now. But the basic gist of what's going down can probably be distilled into "Marvel's New 616" as a descriptor and be, more or less, accurate.

More like replacing bits and pieces of the Marvel Universe with bits and pieces of the Ultimate Universe and other alternate realities.

Doctor Strange and Black Panther have movies in the next two years, so those would be two of my bets. Clearly they also have plans to push Miles, but I am not sure how well he will take in the long run. Derivative characters have the deck stacked against them. Maybe he'll be a War Machine or a Ms Marvel, but most of them end up getting offed in the first issue of some crossover or new creator arc when their creators leave the company.

Have you read Ultimate Marvel lately?
So what I hearing is The Fantastic Force is coming back.

Yeah if Powers is high ratings. And then he will go to tv/movies and all the film buffs could put up with his bad dialogue and episodes of nothing happening.
you just described the blood pack.
They did them extra dirty. They got killed by the bootleg Prometheus.
Black Panther has a good shot. Huge character with a huge role in the current events, hasn't really had his own defining book in forever. Going to be really familiar to general audiences starting from next year too, thanks to the Civil War movie.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Is Hudlin available?

This feels like a Disney World-esque theme park. Here's hoping Mojo will live stream all the action or something.
Over the line.
Probably not willingly. But the comic industry hasn't had the best record with their senior creators (even ones that were widely popular/influential) and Bendis is in his late 40s. I don't think he is going anywhere in the immediate future, but how much sway will he have 15 years from now?
ehh, they were on borrowed time from a garbage event. but i think anima was still around
its like you want to be tossed in the bushes
Nah, it sounds like the majority of the 616 will remain intact
Nope. Prometheus chopped her in half using a portal. You might be thinking of Sparxx
I think Bendis is fine as long as he never decides to jump into editorial. As a writer there's always going to be work, and he's been working with Marvel for so long that I don't ever foresee him not being to find something to write. Once you get into office politics, that becomes more volatile.
Most of the other popular and influential writers over the years simply don't want to stay exclusively at Marvel. It's not that they get kicked off, they just have better things they could do - like create their own series at Image and own the rights.
New Quack City, Killville, Marville, what?
Maybe if he was a villain in a Disney movie.
marville is definetely a disney attraction. at least the one their using for this event

From newsarama:
"Marvel seems reluctant to use words such as reset or reboot, though Marvel Senior VP of Publishing Tom Brevoort says that The Marvel Universe as you know it is done. The language seems in conflict, just as Conway feel some fans may feel internally."
