With a lot of these characters 'modernizing' them is a really difficult thing.

An Example: the Fantastic 4 would have a harder time stealing a shuttle to get them to the necessary cosmic rays in this day and age were you get x-rayed just to fly. Often with reboots you end up with a disjointed mess ala Hawkman after CoIEs in other words Characters that recognize characters they have supposedly never met.

Let's just say that I appreciate that there is 30-40 years already in the bank that I can enjoy and just skip this crap. I can not really convey my seething displeasure at these turn of events. This from a collector of 20+ years with 17 long boxes full of comics, I mean with the price hikes for the minimal substance they offer these days I'll spend it on back issues and call it a day and save my money.

No disrespect intended to anyone who might be excited about this I'm just going to avoid this trainwreck waiting to happen

It's not a "Heroes Reborn/New 52" style fuckover reboot though:

Marvel.com: Is this a reboot of the existing Marvel Universe?

Axel Alonso: It is not a reboot. We don’t travel back in time, into the future, or to an alternate universe. Marvel NOW! respects the investment—emotional and financial—that long-term fans have made in the Marvel Universe, and this story takes place in a Marvel Universe they can recognize, one that grows out of Avengers Vs. X-Men. That said, these stories will be accessible to lapsed readers—the guy who likes, say, Captain America, but doesn’t know where to start—and anyone who saw a Marvel movie or heard the buzz about Marvel NOW!

I's been said that contunity remains the same- not a new origin of everyone or whatever- and my favorite titles- Daredevil and Punisher- are untouched, while my favorire new character in a decade, young Loki remains unchanged, though sadly, Journey into Mystery (Marvel's very best title) is cancelled.
There a nw book slated with Loki, Wiccan and a new Miss America rolling out along with ongoing titles for Ant Man (Scott?), Hawkeye, Cable, Nova and some kind of Starlord/GotG book slated- each with a "Point One" issue before the first issue.

Man, they better have some explanation how Starlord is alive and what happened to Richard Rider, since the Nova seems to be that lameass kid made for the Spectacular Spider Man animated series and shown briefly in AvsX #1.

If they had really rebooted Marvel, I'd have dropped every title, I swear.
