Please God, Satan, Buddha, that dead salamander under the bridge, let this mean what I hope it means.

Most people are assuming that this will mean a return to the pre-Crisis universe, but it's probably going to be a relaunch of most of their current titles under new creative teams. frown

I actually hope it's the latter. I don't want the clock to be turned back, I just want good stories free of schlock and gore.

I agree in theory, but the last 13 years of DC comics have been a continuous torrent of schlock.

We won't get good schlock, or good ANYTHING, from DC until they're under new management, IMO.

That's very true. Unfortunately, I don't think relaunches are going to do them any good. No matter how talented the creative team is, the higher ups at Warner Bros. are more interested in maintaining these characters as IP's. DiDio and Johns could be fired right now, but even with new blood, they're still under Warner's thumb.

I've thought about that myself, and I've come to the conclusion that the editors and writers need to adapt like they did during the Comics Code era and find subtler ways of being creative and subversive.

Changes at DC. Whatever. Past the point of caring.

Though I must say that I'm liking some of their current stuff better than Nu52. Superman: American Alien is great.

They should just relaunch everything and see if anyone notices.

TV and movies will be driving the comics, what's left of them. Why read a $4 comic when you get more story out of a single TV episode?

I didn't even click the link to read further, despite Sarky being great to let us know smile Another sad plea of reinvention from Decreasing Circles.

I'm not picking up any titles following the sneak peeks, DCNu and various past events. Another restart/reboot/reimagining isn't going to get me interested. They seem to be coming faster and faster too, which makes me even less inclined to bother. Why invest in something, that as Cramer indicated, may not be value for money, if it's just going to be rebooted in five minutes. I'll come back after any relaunches have had a at least 52 issues under their belts. 52 more, if they have sneak peaks as poor as the last lot.

Legion aside, as I don't think I couldn't look. Well, squint expecting a car crash.

Considering I dumped nearly ALL DC after a few months of that horrible New 52, I'm going to wait to see what they do.
I figure, at this point, they have to prove to me they're worth getting back into bed with

Not content with just their comics, WB brass have decided to unleash Didio and company on the Hanna Barbera properties as well. Behold:

That Scooby Doo book looks horrendous. puke

That Johnny Quest book, on the other hand, has my interst piqued. It feels more in the spirit of the show than the Scooby Doo book.

"Scooby Apocalypse" sounds like a really horrible attempt to duplicate the success of Afterlife with Archie.
