Everything is a reboot of a reboot at this point. I can't see how that would bother anyone. Superman meant something different to a 1930s audience than he does today, and everywhere in between. The publisher adjusts the characters for the era. Always has. A company wide reboot like this is particularly ambitious. DC has done it twice to my knowledge, with varying degrees of success. I'm glad Marvel is being quite ambitious with its all-new universe.
Agree.

I think this speaks to the investment question right. I'm mean getting drawn into a character or title is awesome....until it ends. That, at least for me, has always been the difficult part of comics. I'm willing to jump back into Marvel at this point, other than casually reading over the last few years, I've mostly been going back to old stuff - Korvac, IG, just finished Civil War for a second time - (haha Civil isn't old, ok yeah it is) - but I've only casually browsed new titles, picked up digital issues here or there and kept up to date at best.
I want to go all in, so I kind of hope it sticks. Plus, I think grizzled Steve and Logan will be a ton of fun to move stories forward.

I think well-defined "seasons" have helped smaller characters even if they only get a short run. I keep going back to Warren Ellis on Moon Knight but... Jesus. It was awesome. It also is contained in 2 trade paperbacks and requires literally zero knowledge of the rest of the Marvel Universe. It's perfect for the casual fan.
Hawkeye went 24 issues and She-Hulk only went 12, but they were both brilliant arcs with an easy-to-trace story. And once the story was over, the book ended. There was no need to keep trying to pump out issues to keep the title going. The willingness to end books has really helped attract great writers, who will only commit to a shorter run under corporate's rules.
