I know, it’s a little confusing, so let me try to explain.  Some comic book companies use various ploys to get you to buy more books.  In the summer it’s usually some universe shattering mega event covered by not only major titles, but also titles you would never normally pick up.  To understand what’s going on, you buy a number of “Red Sky” books that really do nothing to contribute to the the main story.  The other thing that happens every once in a while is the dreaded “reboot” this can go a couple of different ways it could be just renumbering causing everyone to run out and pick up the collector’s #1 issue, or it could be more drastic.  Last year DC Comics went the “more drastic” route by deciding that they would start everything over… retell every origin tweaking it for the modern world and worst of all- superheroes would no longer wear their underwear on the outside.  DC comics took some heat, but has as of now, stuck to their guns rebuilding readership.  Personally, I have tried a few of the rebooted titles and am still trying to figure things out.  So now Marvel has decided to make changes at the end of their last massive universe changing event.  As with most comic book events we shall see how long this lasts before things start going back to the way they should be and superheroes wear their underwear on the outside again.  Like when any hero or villain dies, its just a matter of time…

As for My Geek Odyssey’s reboot… Only time will tell.

Don’t Mind Us… We’re Being Trendy.
