DC was taking a beating back in the 90's huh ?


Yes... yes they were. But now they don't have to worry about Spawn as a major force in comics

Specially since they killed off the original Spawn *Sighs*

Seriously Kirkman, what the fuck were you people thinking ?!

Other than that, I'm really intrigued about several of the new titles, we got westerns, we got Sci-Fi, we got war comics, a little bit of horror, medieval hack n' slash, and of course, our beloved (as well as hated) superheroes, good times are coming.

Well, I'm just being realistic, until I read these titles... I'm not getting excited for any of the new ones. The existing ones carrying over I'll remain amped for

Why ? They're getting revamped too !

And word to the wise guys, I'm sorry to say this, but I would stay away from Detective Comics, Tony Daniel can't write a good comic to save his life !

Yes, but the ones that are keeping their writers/artists that I like I know that I like the writing/art.

They didn't already try that with Superman: Earth One ? I mean it had everything but the "put Superman back into his throne" thing.

Superman Earth One bears no resemblance at all to that pitch.
All-Star Superman is pretty similar to it though.

As awesome as All-Star Superman was, they are NOT going to get him on this "throne" if they go that way.

Well, yeah, because Batman is sitting in that throne. Not to mention all of Marvels characters that are selling well right now

Well, sure, but it's also a problem about the pre-conceived notions of non-superman readers, and going with the Morrison treatment is not exactly the best way to get the character to the top, it's just too weird for newcomers.

Yeah, and the pre-conceived notions of non-Morrison readers who find him incomprehensible

Yeah I'm on your side with this one Feli, I have no idea what Brooklyn was trying to do there.

Well he constantly says I don't understand RoBW so I try and strike back with juvenile non-insulting insults so there's no actual hurt feelings, implying that his saying that the things I don't understand is akin to just saying "you smell bad" a baseless claim that is quite juvenile and unfounded

wait, so...
if I'm understanding this correctly,
they're rebooting the entire DCU, from its origins?
Why the massive do-over?
In my opinion, DC is just being an attention whore cause they can't contend with Marvel.
