I'm stil not clear. Is this a separate universe like Ultimate? A simple re-branding with new books/creative teams?

John Cassaday AND Remender AND Red Skull? If you'll all excuse me I have to go cut my head off. I can't exist in a world where this perfection exists.

This is gonna be a REAL hard sell for me. Thus far every cell in my body says "DO NOT WANT."

They had best have some serious aces up their sleeves or I may finally have a good enough excuse to drop even more titles from my pull.

pre DCnU I was at about 15 DC books a month. post DCnU I'm at about 7. Maybe Marvel just wants to save me money? That's nice of them...

Didn't Marvel recently do something similar where they restarted a bunch of titles at #1?

EDIT:
Also, is Captain America wearing armor?

EDIT AGAIN:
AND THOR HAS SWORDS ON HIS BACK?!

Not a separate universe. It sounds like a marketing push of the 616 universe more than anything else.

It's 616 in a makeover.

And Dark Avengers (Songbird) still better exist in some capacity!

Is Marvel completly relaunching the universe like DC did? If that's what this means I would actually be ok with it as there are some Superheros/Teams I'd like to read about but there are waaaaay to many backstorys etc. I don't mind reading, but sometimes it's just too much :P

an ugly Red/Black, Bendisy 05 makeover...

I would vote this makeover off the show if this were one of those shows.

Not a reboot. Just a relaunch.

Yeah, its oddly reminiscent of the Alex Ross design from 2002, which I just want to point out was a decade ago.

As far as the bit in bold is concerned - it gives a whole new definition to have at the!!! for me at least lol.

Is it a makeover that includes glitter and sparkly stuff? Because if it does than I'm out of there! lmao

As for Dark Avengers they probably will is my guess.

So is that robot-head thing somehow in control of the Hulk? The armor Hulk is wearing looks like it could be connected.

enjoy rereading what happened 30 years ago with the x-men if there is a relaunch

This Decade will be defined by everyone trying to be Gears of War.
