So DC comics is planning a big relaunch, wow never seen that happen before, at the end of the summer. Several major characters are getting revamped and several minor characters are getting frontline status.
And just like most fans I'm not thrilled by what they are doing. I realize that DC is doing this to attract new younger readers, but Ithink they don't realize how much this is going to drive away loyal readers from them. Everyone has seen the pictures going around and maybe even the preview comic showing pages from a few of the new titles. Now I must admit the one with Batman running over the roof tops and Green Lantern blundering into him and going all shocked at discovering he's real is actually quite good and reminds me of Jim Lee's Allstar Batman. but Superman in a tee-shirt jeans and construction boots kind of leaves things well f@#*ed.
So I write this having just picked up the first new issue of Justice League and the final issue of Flashpoint. We'll see which one is better and I'll post my comments on that soon.
