In order to attract new comic sales, DC has announced that starting next month they will begin monthly reboots of their entire comic book universe. All future issues will start at #1. DC hopes that by starting over every month, they will avoid the need to have a major reboot event every 3-5 years. Marvel comics had no comment, because they wouldn't stop laughing.


Far,

Uhm not sure that's accurate. Since they're killing Marvel atm thanks to lack luster CW II.

I hope every #1 issue becomes a collector's item.

Oh, they've decided to slow things down a little, have they?


Paul,

They've at least kept Detective and Action at their normal numerical run pace.


DC is starting over -- again? Didn't they just do that less than five years ago?

You got this from The Onion, right?

I for one am more enthralled by DC's Gothem and rather than a comic book series endlessly focused on the rebooting Batman's early days, I'd like to see them work backwards, starting with a issue 0 pre-origin story about his delightful night at the theatre, then back from there.

How about create new and exciting characters or bring up some that aren't used much.

or someplace similar. Either way it's not true

Rebirth is getting a 5th reprinting and by and large the rest of DC's books are selling pretty well right now.

Plus the Rebrith story line is supposed to be planned out for the next two years.

Now admittedly there will be new #1s during that time for certain. DC seems to be adding a few titles to their list each month right now but they are doing it gradually. They started with their big guns and have added other series as they go. Raven and Cyborg started their own books last week, Teen Titans should be in the next month or so and Super Sons is a few months away still


Grey is correct. Rebirth blew CW II out of the water. I would also add (even as a Marvel fan) rightfully so.
