Hey all you long time readers... tired of having to constantly suspend disbelief as more and more stories and more and more characters pile up on each other in a never ending clusterfuck of serialized story telling?
GOOD NEWS!!!
We're going to do the sensible thing and honor the craft of story telling by NOT pointlessly clinging to things that are high profile or carry some nostalgic value for a bunch of basement dwelling hoarders!
If these stories are told well and there's a consistent editorial vision that is maintained then this could be the best thing that ever happened to the DCU.Comment

Maybe it is time for DC to stop pandering to "long time readers"
Besides its not like DC is going to you're house and burning all you're issues.
Also what Naysay said.Comment

A LETTER ON THE DC UNIVERSE AND SEPTEMBER 2011
To our comics retail partners,
In the time I've worked at DC Comics, I've witnessed any number of industry defining moments. But today, I bring you what is perhaps the biggest news to date.
Many of you have heard rumors that DC Comics has been working on a big publishing initiative for later this year. This is indeed an historic time for us as, come this September, we are relaunching the entire DC Universe line of comic books with all new first issues. 52 of them to be exact.
In addition, the new #1s will introduce readers to a more modern, diverse DC Universe, with some character variations in appearance, origin and age. All stories will be grounded in each character's legend - but will relate to real world situations, interactions, tragedy and triumph.
This epic event will kick off on Wednesday, August 31st with the debut of a brand new JUSTICE LEAGUE #1, which pairs Geoff Johns and Jim Lee, together for the first time. (Yes, this is the same week as FLASHPOINT #5.)
We think our current fans will be excited by this evolution, and that it will make jumping into the story extremely accessible to first-time readers - giving them a chance to discover DC's characters and stories.
We are positioning ourselves to tell the most innovative stories with our characters to allow fans to see them from a new angle. We have taken great care in maintaining continuity where most important, but fans will see a new approach to our storytelling.
Some of the characters will have new origins, while others will undergo minor changes. Our characters are always being updated; however, this is the first time all of our characters will be presented in a new way all at once.
Dan DiDio, Bob Harras and Eddie Berganza have been working diligently to pull together some of the best creative teams in the industry. Over 50 new costumes will debut in September, many updated and designed by artist Jim Lee, ensuring that the updated images appeal to the current generation of readers.
The publication of JUSTICE LEAGUE #1 will also launch digital day-and-date for all ongoing superhero comic book titles - an industry first.
On Wednesday, June 1st, this initiative is expected to be announced in a nationwide feature article, and we're hopeful the news will be picked up by media outlets around the world. Throughout the month we'll reveal more details of our plans with articles in both the mainstream and comics press and on June 13th the Diamond catalog solicitations for all of the September titles will be released, followed by the June 29th street date of the print version of Previews.
DC Comics will support this initiative with an innovative mix of publicity, promotional efforts and retailer incentives designed to maximize your opportunity to increase your DC sales. We will discuss additional details of these incentives when we get closer to solicitation later in June.
We'll be updating you more through email as September nears. But today, I hope your share our enthusiasm for this historic news!
Sincerely,
Bob Wayne
SVP, Sales
DC Entertainment

So is War of the Green Lanterns going to end up being totally irrelevant no matter what happens in it? That "This was a chance to start, not at the beginning, but at a point where our characters are younger and the stories are being told for today's audience." quote sure SOUNDS like the titles aren't just being renumbered, but rebooted back to an earlier time in the heroes' lives.

i admit im still new to the comic world but renumbering and even rebooting has people like me get lost into what is what.
the idea to make such a big change to touch a younger group of readers is one thing but to basicly give the middle finger to readers who followed these charachters for over 30 years are getting shafted................................................... ..........................
