COMICS: AVENGERS VS. X-MEN Will NOT Lead To A Relaunch Of The Marvel Universe

Some have speculated that Avengers Vs. X-Men will result in some sort of "The New 52" style reboot of the Marvel Universe. Well, think again! Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso teases the impact the event will have on the future of their titles.

The past ten years or so has seen The Avengers disassemble, the wiping out of nearly the entire mutant race, a Civil War between the superheroes, a Secret Invasion, Norman Osborn's Dark Reign, and the superheroes reassembling to take on him and later Fear Itself. These stories have all been connected and there has been plenty going on with the X-Men too. Now that all comes to a head with Avengers Vs. X-Men.

"We have some moves planned," teases Axel Alonso in an interview with Newsarama. "The Marvel Universe is changed by AvX. It is not a reboot or a retcon. It is the Marvel Universe that you grew up in. But this story in many ways sort of serves as an endcap to a decade's worth of stories that we've been telling, and I think it begins a great first chapter for the next decade's worth of stories we're going to tell."

He adds, "I'm very excited about what we're doing. We had a fantastic summit. Some long-running creative shifts are occurring — you've heard about Brian, for instance; there may be others. We're very excited about where we're headed." Be sure to click on the link below to read the interview in full.
