So even tho this is not a comics related forum I figured I would ask opinions from fellow fanedit members.
You might be aware that coming September, DC is rebooting/relaunching their whole line of comic books - yes every single title that they publish is going to start again from almost scratch.
Explanations and motives behind this move must be many, ranging from netting new readers and making older ones come back into the fold, to cleaning up decades old continuity issues that could bring problems to the potential future of their characters - but that argument sounds all too familiar.
Despite a full blown restart, the current powers that be at DC, Eddie Berganza, Bob Harras and Jim Lee explain that the most important/popular pieces of continuity will be kept. I can only put this face :shock: as on how they plan to pull it off, as work from brilliant writers such as Alan Moore and Grant Morrison to name a few will be kept or tossed out the window depending on what parameters I wonder?
I've never been too much into DC's properties myself aside from the usual suspects, the only characters of theirs that I care about are Batman, Green Lantern and such offbeats like The Spectre and of course Sandman and related topics, but those fall outside the regular output and even in other DC owned imprints.
But I know there are many Superman fans roaming around here, and I'm sure many others will have an opinion about the rest of the DCU.
I for one, think that will be taking a plunge in a few of the titles, some of which interest me because of their huge profile and others because they are an integration of the Jim Lee kickstarted WildStorm imprint which is now being merged with the regular DCU. I really like WildStorm specially with such greats as Planetary and The Authority, let's see what happens now...
Will anyone here take a chance to check it out? Perhaps checking out the titles and voting for which actually interest you might be a good start.
So, what does everyone make of this? I for one will be picking up a few titles and give them a chance.
