First Post Flashpoint Picture: The New DC Universe

See anything different?


What is this...HAS DC GONE CRAZY?

No Super undies?
No Bathing Suit?

DC is truly going to new places...

More than 52 new books are coming out in September as they introduce "a more modern, diverse DC Universe."

Per CBR in an interview with USA Today, Dan DiDio said "We looked at what was going on in the marketplace and felt we really want to inject new life in our characters and line," "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."

I am sorry but to be a complete fanboy here....I am totally hooked and can not wait to see what DC has in store for the fans.

The book that kicks off the new DC U will be Justice League #1.

Today, DC via there blog made it official stating the following,

"This year, change is in the air at DC Comics.

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 Co-Publisher Jim Lee.

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 Comics will 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."

I am pretty excited. DC needs a major shake up.

I am looking at this like the new 'Star Trek' film. Its just a another universe. Not replacing the old one.

For the comic book line, this is incredibly big. But I'm going to be cautious until I hear more.
