It's really not difficult to follow along at all if you've been paying attention to all the interviews and articles involved.
Well, I haven't. I stop following them once everybody and their momma had a different explanation for it being a reboot, or a relaunch, or some of Batman stuff happen, but this character doesn't exist, and blah blah blah.
It would be even worse for Marvel, who has never had a big ass reboot like this. Its one thing to s*** on 25 odd years like DC, its another thing entirely to do it to 50. Not to mention the Ultimate Universe being more irrelevant then ever. I have little interest in rehashing the same song and dance in the vain hope of attracting people who don't give a damn about this industry. Continuity isn't the issue, at least not the main issue. You can relaunch as much as you want, but if you still charge $3.99 for 20 pages of content, you still do stupid ass stories, you still use an archaic form of publication like Diamond's direct market, you still can't advertise your comics worth a damn, you still can't get them into venues normal people would actually walk in, you still have crappy digital distribution that doesn't put things in trades or discounts on prices, you still do gratatious Geoff Johns fetish limb-cutting and bloodbaths that scare parents, and you still keep around the same f***s like JT Krul and Tony Danial that caused a decline in the first place, then it really doesn't matter. Same s***, different day.
I could seriously see myself dropping pretty much all of Marvel's books if they pull some s*** like that.
