Basically, a point in an ongoing series or a series in a Shared Universe that exists primarily to provide a place for new readers to begin with without needing to know the entire history. This is especially common in Comic Books and other media where Continuity Snarls are common. If a point in a series, it will often restart the numbering -- instead of Spider-Man #237, it'll be Spider-Man volume 2 #1. It may be just after the resolution of a massive storyline, and it'll almost always show something similar to the general status quo of the series. Examples of Jumping on Point include:

If a series in a Shared Universe, it may be set in an Alternate Universe or be about a new set of characters in the same universe, somewhat removed from the rest. It will often end up having its own Spin-Off, so that the new fanbase can diversify their reading without ever having to get fully immersed in the Universe. When a whole new continuity is created, it's an Ultimate Universe. Examples of Jumping on Point include:
