After going through all the Legacy renumbering stuff last year, Marvel decided it was too complicated, so they're launching a bunch of new #1s.
Is Marvel in danger of alienating their longtime readers?
Here are the details, including the video trailer for what they're calling the Fresh Start initiative:

Quit trying to second guess the collectors. Focus stories on the characters and letting the stories grow organically. Let the characters encounter a few things and then logically progress with the implications of their actions. Quit trying to make everything some event. If the sales don't sustain themselves on stories that progress logically, then shut the doors and quit publishing. The writers are just lazy. The publishers are idiots. What's next? A glaucous Hulk? The Fulvous Goblin?

DC gets most of my money these days. The only Marvel title I read is Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows. I enjoy it because it actually feels like I'm reading about the Spider-Man I once knew and it's a progression, not a step backwards. Reboots have made Marvel into some schizophrenic company. What exactly was the purpose of "Legacy" now that "Fresh Start" is going to happen? What was the purpose of "All-New, All Different", "Generations", and "Marvel NOW"? Investing my time and money into something that isn't going to be around for more than a year or two is exhausting.

I was originally irritated that "Fresh Start" was getting rid of the legacy numbering. But at this point I don't really care. Even my all-time favorite title (Amazing Spider-Man) has been rebooted multiple times and the legacy numbering at this point seems kind of meaning less. Same goes for some of the other titles on my pull list like Venom, Captain America, and the Mighty Thor. At this point, given the consistent writing and art in these titles, I'm going to keep buying them regardless of the number on the cover. Of course this may change if I don't like the new creative teams on the next volume of these books (except for Amazing Spider-Man).
On a side note it does make it harder to remember in which specific issue and volume something happened versus just remembering one specific legacy number.
