That's interesting, and somehow reassuring. It makes the whole reboot seem redundant, but it's still a cool idea. :)

Maybe this will be massively successful and show DC how stupidly wrong they went with the ugly, dark, violent, dismembering Identity/Infinite/Final Crisis debacle. Maybe this will show them the pre-New 52 comics could be fun, and cause a complete reversion. I very seriously doubt it, but maybe. :lol:

Probably not but I do think they wonder if they made a mistake with these constant nods to the past universe.

Looks like they'll be releasing a Blue Beetle SHOWCASE with the full 24 issue run, too.

I didn't get that part - are parasites like synth-clones, or are they more like replicants?

I think they're more like cop-outs.

Beetle and Booster aren't synth-clones in the story, though. They are the actual JLI characters according to the article.

:ohyes:

They'll have to do a DC De-Boot to bring everyone back. Perhaps Superman's red speedos are punching their way through reality, pursued by Krypto (who's been linked up to the speed-force), and....

Meh. Plenty of back issues out there for me to find and read yet. And for cheaper than
new comic cover price.

Beachy has just articulated the whole conundrum quite beautifully.

I haven't read the article and don't know exactly what's being referenced here, but I love that this is the sort of comment you'd surely see only on a comic book discussion board.
