Is that the outcome of Flashpoint? Another, somewhat permanent reboot of their characters to earlier younger forms.

This is why I can make the move to DC, the sudden invalidation of decades of stories? Not cool. And I was liking how Morrison had worked on Batman to make all those wacky 60 and 70s stories canon again.
I'm positive about it to some degree.

My only concern is GL as I love it in its present state and would hate to see all that disappear.

But I think overall, this is basically DC's hot at ultimatising their entire universe which I think has merits. Coupled with the digital strategy, I think it's a good strategic move

The comic book industry is dying. Sales numbers of the top books get smaller and smaller by the year. Having a clean slate is the way to go. My question is how do they manage it online with their back issues inventory? It's honestly their biggest stumbling block. How do they create a voice when there's so much immediately competing with it directly in the online store of a smartphone / tablet? These screens aren't optimised for complex browsing of thousands of issues.

I can already see myself giving a fair few titles a go. Teen Titans, Aquaman and the JLA would be all thumbs up for me. And keen to see next week's solicitations too to find out more.
