I have been collecting for few years. For what ever reason Marvel has decided to reboot once a year. I am not sure if they are doing this to help new collectors hop in are if it is a money grab.
Also I am not liking how much they are changing the face of the Marvel Universe. If you want to add new hero's for a younger generation that is fine but do not get rid of the Hero's that i grew up with.
Riri may make a good Iron man but she is not Iron Man. Tony Stark is. Riri could take the place of Rhodey. Let me know what you think.

Comic publishers only make money off the front end so they will do whatever it takes to milk the front end trends of money. Historically first issues always sell the best and after that lower numbers. As issue numbers climb there is natural attrition of readership until the base is set. that base can move up and down but if it moves too far down the title is canceled or, nowadays or if the character is a top tier, rebooted. Also, variant covers are now a huge source of front end earnings as they almost always mean selling extra copies of an issue.
So far I have been fine with the changes Marvel has done. I have no major attachment to specific "people" carrying on forever in a mantle. If done right mantle changes can work really well. As far as I am concerned Marvel has done a great job of elevating the profile of many characters in their universe especially females and young heroes. It has, imho, created a much stronger and diverse Marvel U and one that reflects current society more appropriately.
Don't like Tony Stark, never have never will so anything they do to eject his character out of the Marvel U I am fine with. Sorry.
