how is a reboot like DC committed to, much different than simply ignoring a majority of the stuff that went before and continuously revamping your material like Marvel does? The odds that someone will refer to FF vol. 1 issue 21 are pretty much a zero, so why is it much different than just having a new universe?
Answer:
Well, one approach throws out every story that you’ve ever read about a given character, good or bad, and the other one doesn’t. So that’s a pretty central difference.
But flipping the question around on you for a second: if there is no difference, then why do you care which way we go about things? Aren’t they functionally equivalent?
