Alonso has now stamped out rumours of a full reboot, describing the series as the "first chapter for the next decade's worth of stories".
He told Newsarama: "The Marvel Universe is changed by AvX. It is not a reboot or a retcon. It is the Marvel Universe that you grew up in.
"But this story in many ways sort of serves as an endcap to a decade's worth of stories that we've been telling, and I think it begins a great first chapter for the next decade's worth of stories we're going to tell.
"I'm very excited about what we're doing. We had a fantastic summit. Some long-running creative shifts are occurring - you've heard about Brian [Michael Bendis], for instance; there may be others. We're very excited about where we're headed."
Avengers vs X-Men, which debuted last month, sees its fourth issue arrive in stores today (May 16).
