Will Dc Reboot Their Universe In September? Yes.

What about Earth One ? We saw designs for batman and we've already had a superman GN. Could it be that they're just bringing out issues for all the characters in Earth one.

I hope they know what they're doing either way.

I don't like the idea of rebooting (seems like there desperate or something)! I don't mind when a single book is cancelled and brought back right after, but rebooting nearly all of the titles? I mean come on!
Note: I'm never persuaded to buy a book just because it happens to the first issue.

Beyond any other logical arguments I could make, ask yourself, would they really reset Action Comics back to #1 before they hit #1000?

No. No, they wouldn't.

If this is any kind of clean slate reboot with everything back to #1, it's a 2-3 month gimmick or a side thing.

When I first heard of this rumor, I thought o Zero Hour. Could it be that every book involved just get's a #1 issue in September, then in October they continue with the original numbers?

I can't see them renumbering, maybe all the books are going to be secret origin type stories starting in September...?

Kinda a waste for Superman, GL, Aquaman and Flash.

just to throw this out there but i think it would suck big time if dc turned every comic they had into all movie tie ins.

videogames have done such a thing but who's to say comics cant do the same?

i'd prefer to see a year one jump forward rather than reboot.

clearing up clutter is fine but the first crisis created a lot of problems as did zero hour, as did infinite. dc should lay down what is canon before rebooting it.

Flashpost: The Issue One Renumbering Of The DC Universe

In September, all the DC Comics published set within the DC Universe will be renumbered with new issue ones.

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.
The current Flashpoint story running through the DC Universe and ending in August has rewritten the history of the DC Universe. How much of it, if any, will be reflected in the September titles?

“The first rule about FLASHPOINT is, don’t talk about what comes after Flashpoint” quotes Chief Creative Office of DC Geoff Johns. And I think we can take that literally. DC creators have been asked by their editors to sign rather restrictive NDA agreements to continue working on titles.

But Bleeding Cool hasn’t signed anything. More today on what this might mean for specific books. Some of it will be accurate. Some of it will be warped in the telling. And some of it will have changed…

Geoff Johns And Jim Lee’s Justice League #1

In September, Bleeding Cool has been told that DC Comics will publish a new Justice League ongoing comic book by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee, the first title these two have worked together. Even if it’s been a while coming.

It will feature Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and several other characters following the current Flashpoint crossover. It’s the return of the World’s Greatest Superheroes to the book for the first time in years.

Geoff Johns is the Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment, a Co-Producer of the upcoming Green Lantern Film and the writer of many of DC Comics bestselling titles of the last five years, including Green Lantern, Blackest Night, Brightest Day, and the Flashpoint event.

As well as being Co-Publisher of DC Comics, Jim Lee is best known for revitalising the X-Men for Marvel and co-founding Image Comics in the nineties, for his Batman work for DC in the noughties, and designing the DCU Online MMORG right now. While his comics work has been sporadic, it remains some of the best selling in the industry.

And it looks like he might have been spending some time preparing this comic. I first reported its existence over two years ago, well before Geoff Johns and Jim Lee had been promoted, and have been keeping up with it since. So if nothing else, Jim Lee’s had some lead time.

Not International. Not Dark. And also not Of America. Just the League.

More to come…

Well, JLA I can agree should have a new #1

Well, JLA I can agree should have a new #1

May as well, if they are going to totally change the line-up and creative team.

I could careless about the numbering. I purchase books based on the story and have never chose a book over another because the numbering changed. If they maintain good story lines I'm good. But I would like to see.
Captain Marvel returned (Billy Batson by himself)
Superman OFF the ground finally
Martian Manhunter back in the game.

I t honestly wouldn't matter to me either way if they renumber them

[W.West Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close W.West]

Its not the numbering you should care about anyway, its the idea that they are so okay with stopping EVERY SINGLE STORYLINE just to do it. Creative teams are going to drastically change, which is great for some and horrible for many because there's nothing to show that they have a clear view of WHY they are changing and how these teams are significantly better. Especially for books like Batgirl who's got nothing but complimentary reviews since its start.


In semi related news, I am looking forward to Justice League with Johns. Especially if he's HONESTLY been WRITING for almost two years. Same for Lee though I highly doubt either.

[Marvelous Iggy God Of Turtles Find all posts View Profile Close Marvelous Iggy]

Geoff Johns is perfect for JLA, big action sequences galore. With Jim Lee on art, it should be JLA heaven.

They'll renumber...and still be mired in events.
