Put it back in the box.

The last time they rebooted everything after a major battle against Darkseid I stopped buying comics altogether. Comics are really suffering from what I call "reboot fatigue" these days. People lose interest in a particular line or company and they say: "Hey! We're changing everything! All-new!" Except "All-new!" really just means "The way it was before, with superficial changes." I'm a big fan of DC and Marvel in their TV and movies, but I just can't get interested in the comics themselves anymore.

Of course comic book fans are ready for change. This is a group known for their willingness to embrace progress and diversity.

Didn't they already try that approach for Superman with JMS' stupid idea that completely blew up in their face?

Not afraid of the change - but please remember, not ALL change is good. We don't HAVE to like it just because it's new. It may be awesome. But it also might be the biggest pile of crap, meant solely to scarf up a quick buck.
Have to wait and see.
But I'm certainly not going to passively endorse it just to prove I'm not "afraid."

It's the 30th anniversary of COIE. We've known for at least 2 years DC had something up their sleeves. Everything will go back to normal in a few months and then there'll will be a new costume tweak for everyone to get upset about all over again.

I'm completely fine with DC's new direction in turns of focusing on story over continuity.

Hopefully it's rewarded in making good stories.

Dog shit. Change is not necessarily but this this change sure is. [frick] you DC.

Runaways is coming back tho, but I do like Gotham Academy

I just hope it's an actual complete story, and not just setup for the next story...

Here's something fans need to think about.

Think about your favorite comic book runs.

Mine is Morrison's JLA.

Then ask yourself this. Did you ever care once about what's happening in the runs universe?

Did you care what Ultimate Iron Man has been doing all this time while reading Ultimate Spider-Man? Did you care what Flash has been doing all this time while reading Snyder's Batman? Did you care what the Avengers are doing during Miller's Daredevil? Did you care what Wonder Woman was doing during Johns's Green Lantern?

All those answers are likely no.

So why care now?

As long as it means way less crossovers this time around I'm so ready for this run.

The amount of crossovers made some of the graphic novel's downright unreadable because the story was either wrapped up in another series volume or two different volumes bounced back and forth between each other. Justice League Dark had this problem a lot.

I feel like I haven't read a DC or Marvel comic in ages. I've been going a different route lately. I'm liking different stories, and not having to trip off of reboots.

I stopped buying comics recently because of all the reboots and unnecessary changes being made.....I tried to hang in there with the new 52 from DC but they are destroying my favorite hero of all time, Superman. The lack of creative writing within DC has changed an iconic character into nothing more than just a regular ol guy. I think this reflects a lot around us in our society and the times we're living in. 40, 50 yrs ago, people believed so much more in the concept of an average regular guy who was able to magically shed that identity and reveal himself as a hero in a god-like manner. The world was different then and people looked to Superman as an ideal of truth, hope, and the inner strength and greatness of what anyone was able to potentially be. Now there is Batman who has grown in popularity because of heartache, loss, and pain......and he represents vigilantism to the 10th degree. Although he is only human, most Bat fans need a god.....so Batman is written as if he is a god. Not a god of hope or promise, but a god of darkness and vengeance.....

NI have to leave DC......thanks for the movies. I'm still waiting to see an epic DCU movie but the comics have made a turn for the worse. Thumbs down DC.......... BIG thumbs down!!

Section 8...?

Im for substance over continuity. but without continuity you can't care as much for the characters. Not sure about this new direction, but I guess we will see how it turns out
