so much for this not being a reboot, eh marvel...
I knew Captain America was going to finish up since Ed Brubaker is done with him now, Bullshit with some of the other titles regardless of how well they're going restarting books up again.

I don't buy it.
Of course people will rush to buy things after a reboot, but I expect sales to level out again in a while. Had Marvel held their nerve, they would have been fine.

Marvel has shed 28% of it's sales in the past 3 years, while DC has increased. It's a desperate move, but necessary.
Maybe it's not the titles, the problem. Maybe the problem is that the main books sucked horrifically in the past years.
Seriously, only Wolverine get out almost unscatched:
Spider-Man: OMD-BND-OMIT
Hulk: The beginning of Rulk
Chaos War
Thor: My God, where are we beginning!?
Siege
And some awesome books got cancel.
Basically, they cut the great books, and fed us shit.
How do you cure that?
You give the boot to Bandis and Fraction, and you put great writers like Mark Millar or Hickman on your "flagships" series.

That was only when Joe Quesada was writing Spider-Man just for those story arcs, Regardless Dan Slott has been doing great on Spider-Man
doesn't matter with you anyway "they touched continuity" an't touching that with a 10 foot pole now.

Wasn't JMS heavily involved in those arcs, and even part of the controversey?
Spidey aside, X-Men has been bad for a while now, and Avengers... It's barely passable, especially when you have some pretty shitty events to go with it.
