DC Comics Reboot

[Villano]

Captain Marvel returns to the DCnU. He will be written by Geoff Johns and drawn by Gary Frank. However, it's going to be a back-up feature in Justice League and will be called "The Curse of Shazam".

"Curse"? God, I hope they don't plan on making it grim and gritty and full of death (considering the way DC's been treating him lately, I have a terrible feeling they will).

I have been greatly disappointed by this reboot. Some titles are a complete reboot, some are partial reboots and some (Green lantern) seem like there was no reboot at all.

Some DC news (old and new):

John Rozum quit Static Shock.

George Perez is leaving Superman after issue 6.

Ann Nocenti is taking over writing Green Arrow.

Gail Simone quit Firestorm.

Bat Editor Janelle Asselin quit DC for a job at Disney.

DC is reporting that is sold 5 million comics in the first 6 weeks of the reboot.

This is not a good sign either......

I like Gary Frank's artwork but Shazam.... and not a regular book..... I doubt I'll be shouting "Shazam!" anytime soon.

This is one think I like. They didn't rebooted the things that already worked.

except for Green lantern in GL has been and lost the title of being a Green Lantern where in JL he is just starting out. There is no cohesion.

Current JLA, Action Comics (not sure about Detective Comics) are stories from the past.
The JLA isn't forming at the same time as Hal was de-powered. Have you read the comics you criticize?

The structure goes as this:

5.5 years ago: Action Comics (but will catch up eventually).
5 years ago: Justice League.
Current: Everything else.

JL 1,2
Deathstroke 1
Batgirl 1
Green lantern 1

Then from there I just read threads and listen to folks talking about it.

I missed the fact JL was in the past. My bad.

No problem. Sorry for sounding maybe to antagonizing with my question.

Does this change your opinion on the reboot? I personally miss some good serials and be a bit disappointed the JLA has Cyborg instead of the Martian Manhunter as a member. But I disliked the last JLA anyway and J'onn is at least in another team now (Stormwatch).

Another topic. Voodoo 2 has the Blackrazors coming after the title character. Were they part of the DC universe before the reboot? I think I remember them from Wildstorm.
