Does the sentinels universe have a continual continuity like Marvel or does it have periodic continuity resets like DC?
I think it might be the latter. Wraith's bio lists her age as 23, just a year after finishing college and adopting the Wraith persona. However, she's one of the longest running heroes, having first appeared in Mystery Comics #27.

Doesn't that make it the former? Spiderman hasn't aged much over his years of superhero-ing.
There has been no hint at a reset, and a continuous numbered series like the Freedom Five seems to point at a continuing universe.

If I remember correctly, Christopher and Adam have both make comments in the past that it's a continual continuity.

Spider-Man went from being a high school student (around 16) to being in his 30's before being struck by One More Day.

Yeah, I was going to say, the last time I remember reading spiderman he was a 30-something school teacher instead of a struggling college kid (or teenager) like when he started out

Yeah, but it took Petey ~40 years to age ~15.

Well, Marvel also has a floating timeline. Also, I think they've said that approximately 2 years real time passes for each year in the marvel universe.
Sometimes it's closer to 5 years of reality to one in the Marvel U.

On a slightly relevant note, doesn't the Marvel U run on a "10 years ago the Fantastic Four #1 happened and we update our characters history to reflect that", e.g. Reed Richards and Ben Grimm fought in World War II. Then Korea. Then Vietnam. And now Desert Storm.

Yep. And Tony Stark was injured in whatever conflict America was involved in within the last 5-10 years.
