you would think that it might happen! As you know the DCU
is being rebooted after the flashpoint, and they are restarting Beginning on Aug. 31, every major DC comic
will be going back to issue #1. Major characters' costumes will be altered, their backstories changed and the entire DC universe will never be the same.According to DC's press release:
"This year, change is in the air at DC ComicsBig words. But why now? What's the use? And is this causing fans to actually boycott the DCU?. On Wednesday, August 31st, DC Comics will launch a historic renumbering of the entire DC Universe line of comic books with 52 first issues, including the release of JUSTICE LEAGUE
by NEW YORK TIMES
bestselling writer and DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns and bestselling artist and DC Comics
The publication of JUSTICE LEAGUE issue 1 will launch day-and-date digital publishing for all these ongoing titles, making DC Comics the first of the two major American publishers to release all of its superhero comic book titles digitally the same day as in print.
DC Comicswill only publish two comic books on August 31st: the final issue of this summer's comic book mini-series FLASHPOINT and the first issue of JUSTICE LEAGUE
by Johns and Lee, two of the most distinguished and popular contemporary comic book creators, who will be collaborating for the first time. Together they will offer a contemporary take on the origin of the comic book industry's premier superhero team.
In the hours, days and weeks to come, we'll have more news about the other titles. Tomorrow, we'll hear from Co-Publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee about this momentous occasion. Keep checking THE SOURCE for updates about the other first issues.
This year, make history with us."
On the facebook page the group has posted this...
But when looking around I found that this isn't the only group! There are others like... "Boycott Starting Over DC Comics" and "The Reboot? WTF?" so this leads me to ask the question! Will this change the minds at the heads of the DCU/WB? Or will sales themselves start to change their minds? If the later is what might change their minds then the 30% decrees in sales since the reboot was announced might be cause for concern.Why they have the right to do this to us. The "MAN" thinks is going to make them money,but we know its a big FU to our face. We should not take this BS. We should fight. I know what you guys are going to say you will not win. Its a lost cause. You know your maybe right, but I want to see if I can do something about this.
In all honesty this reboot is not needed, and it's stupid... You want to make these characters more relevant? Or you want the readers to buy more comics? Well here is a simple solution. Put out better quality material.
But honestly nobody wants to see Action Comics rebooted to number 1 again! There can only be one number 1, and this is a big mistake by the DCU. The backlash it's having should tell them that the fans don't want this reboot.
Let's hope they listen to the fans for once... lol As I type that I laugh because they will never listen to the fans.
Sad but true...

Are fans really going to boycott the DCU reboot?
gee let me think....as a long-time superman/DC fan,YES!!!!!!
Dan Didio is an idiot! If he thinks for one damn minute into thinking if he can make the money into making younger people in reading and buying the comic books, by white-washing everything, including Superman's horrendous suit with knee pads, in which he does NOT need them, he's the man of steel for god's sake! And i don't give a damn what other people say, i miss the red undies, I'm use to them! And wonder woman wearing the pants with her outfit looks HORRIBLE! She's NOT suppose to wear pants with her outfit, she's suppose to not be afraid to show some leg! It was fine the way it was before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And getting rid of Lois and Clark's relationship.....that's bullshit! i happen to care about their love relationship! And erasing a lot of it's history, including Superman's 1st issue#1 from 1938 IS THE STUPIDEST THING TO DO! YOU CANNOT MESS WITH HISTORY, DAMNIT! YOU CAN'T!!!!!!!!!!! AND ERASING POWERGIRL IN THE PROCESS IS JUST WRONG! I HAPPEN TO LIKE POWERGIRL!!!! DAN DIDIO AND JIM LEE IS MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE IN DOING THIS AND IS THE WORST REBOOT I HAVE EVER HEARD YET! WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING?! THEY SHOULD BE FIRED FOR THIS DISGRACEFUL MISTAKE! I HAD TROUBLE SLEEPING BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THIS OUT OF MY HEAD! THATS HOW UPSETTING THIS IS! IT SQUEEZES MY GUT AND MAKES ME SCREAM! I WAS PLANNING TO INTRODUCE MY LITTLE NEPHEW TO DC COMICS WITH SUPERMAN AND THIS GOING TO RUIN IT FOR ME AND MY LITTLE PHEW AND THATS NOT FAIR!
THEY SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY NEED TO STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THEIR DOING AND THINK ABOUT HOW BAD MANY ,MANY, MANY LONG-TIME READER ARE BEING EFFECTED BY THIS AND THERE ARE MORE UPSET PEOPLE ABOUT THIS, MORE SO THAN THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT AND I CANNOT SAY I BLAME THEM AND I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH HOW DISTURBING THIS IS. IF DAN DIDIO, JIM LEE AND DC WANT TO MAKE THE DOLLAR, THEY NEED TO STOP SCREWING THINGS UP, GIVE US BACK THE ORIGINALS AND SIMPLY MAKE BETTER STORIES, INSTEAD OF WHITE-WASHING EVERYTHING AND ERASING ALL OF IT'S PAST HISTORY, WHICH IS JUST INSANELY RIDICULOUS AND A NO-NO!
I am NOT going to read or buy anything that reboot-related until they come to their senses of what many of us fans don't like and how badly effected by this disgraceful reboot and find a way to reverse this crappy reboot.
Totally agree Anthony; its a totally mad mind that came up with re-writing thing; hey why dont we do the bible while we`re at it!?!? :/
