In last week's Avengers we learned of a significant split between Reed Richards and Susan Storm, indeed with the latter hunting down the former, in the

Ever since the DC New 52 reboot of 2011, Marvel folk have been asked if they would ever reboot their universe as DC have done (a number of times) and have said no, they prefer sliding changes in continuity when necessary and they like to make everything that has happened, count.
