So I'm taking it that after Secret Wars it wasn't so much a reboot as a recreation with a few additions (new characters that Marvel wanted to add in from other universes.) Characters that were dead are still dead. So it's really not like I though it would be, it wasn't really the end of Earth 616 more like...the universe had a hiccup, it ended for a moment but came back just slightly changed?

So confusing in a way. But if I ever chose to get back on board (aside from UXM will I think I will try out) it wouldn't be like a whole new reality.

Nooo. It's the same 616. Although Tom Brevoort hilariously hates that moniker, and insists on calling the post-Secret Wars MU "Earth Prime," but yeah, it's exactly the same. In fact, the only changes are the Terrigen Mists harming mutants (which isn't covered in EXM at all, really. First arc was to do with Sinister and recruiting O5 Jean and OML, and the second is about Apocalypse), Cyclops' death, and Miles crossing over from the Ultimate line.

If anyone can think of any major change that's happened during the eight month gap, feel free to chime in! Oh, and the FF are no more. Reed, Sue, Valeria and Franklin are off rebuilding the omniverse, essentially.

If you want to still read X-characters but be "in the know" regarding the wider MU, Uncanny Avengers is a surprisingly good read.
