There's been hints and speculation regarding this piece of news for weeks, but
Bleeding Cool report today that September will see DC renumber every single one of its titles as a #1 issue. Here is an excerpt of their report, although you can head on over to the site by clicking on the link below to read more details.
Every comic continuing from September will be relaunched with a shiny #1. Every. Single. One. With no current plan for the renumbering to reverse to any so-called "legacy" numbering.
And with those issue one renumberings, will come a new rejigged status quo. And yes, characters will be changed. Some may no longer exist. There will be new books, new creators, new teams, new characters and new...new. With no current plan for the new status quo to be undone or reversed.
So, what do you guys think of this? Personally, I'm pretty pleased as despite having spent the past year catching up with the
Batman and
Green Lantern series of titles, I still find it something of an ordeal to get my head around DC's convoluted and confusing continuity. Regardless, be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
