Dick Grayson replacing Bruce Waybe was the best thing to ever happen to that character and they botched it due to Crisis Policies.Just a correction on HEROES IN CRISIS — Wally isn’t a psychopathic murderer; he accidentally kills a small group of people when his grief over his lost life and family results in him losing control of the Speed Force for a second. I wouldn’t be reading comics without it, and numbers don’t really support the idea that droves of fans left the company.
As I think the key phrase above is “mix of Hypertime and Crisis.”Although I haven’t mentioned it until now, Hypertime was yet another method for a different generation of DC editorial to deal with continuity headaches: all stories were true. DC Comics. He was originally supposed to take the stage at DC's "Meet The Co-Publishers" panel on Friday, but that was canceled due to the recent outing of DC Co-Publisher Dan DiDio. Just leave the our iconic ones alone!!! Although I’ve been hearing bits and pieces about it for months, the plans seemed to keep morphing and changing.
A complete jettisoning of everything between 1935 and the end of CRISIS would have been far more merciful to DC readers and to DC as a company.
Hopefully the stories and storytelling will be good, while this initiative lasts, and DC doesn’t shoot itself in the foot with a clumsy launch. I have no idea how No Justice fits with Dark Metal fits with Doomsday Clock. It’s ALL Elseworlds. Even as a longtime reader I avoid monthlies so much because it’ll be traded soon (even though I know that new titles need monthly reader support to even garner a trade) but I’d be more interested in monthly books if I didn’t need more than one issue to know who is who and what’s going on. What is DC's '5G?' Billionare, real-estate tycoon, and de-stroyer of cherished childhood dreams! What happened?! I don’t think you’re going to be too shocked to learn that behind the scenes, planning for the 5G reboot/retcon/ultimate hypertime was incredibly stressful.
Part 1 of Days of Future Past – Claremont, Byrne, Cockcrum — and it cost me a buck.
Arrowverse’s multiverse seems to be separate from the comic book’s, and with the COIE in it, suggests then this is a third multiverse outside of the two in current DC continuity. The stories, the dramas, the fights, the triumphs.Dan DiDio may be gone from DC, but it is safe to say that he will never be forgotten. Repeat until the readers die, either of old age or boredom.Actually I neither attend these things or take much stock in fannish speculation in what was said but concentrate on the mini series and one shots. A great short term way to boost sales by making people buy double the titles of their favorite characters, obviously disastrous for comics, as much as I adore Ben Reilly.There were a lot of good comics during Dan DiDio’s but I hope the they get Dick Grason and Wally West to replace him, because I’m sick of comic books characters not letting younger team members have a go. Writer Geoff Johns has been attempting to fix things these past few years. An initiative that will age everyone up and replace them with younger folk. Johns is loved and respected by fans. My comics class is getting this assigned to them tomorrow.Of course, I’ll have to explain “Bat Penis Crisis” now, but it’s still worth it.Geoff Johns character additions to Shazaam influenced the movie which was a hit for WB. “If there are characters that came about way back when, what does that mean today?

Some of the Earths referenced in Doctor Manhattan's exposition over the back half of the series include "Earth-1985," an extension of the pre-What shape 5G will take is anybody's guess, although for a while we have all understood it was more than just rumors, since the "generations" of heroes, including 5G, appeared on a timeline projected on a screen at New York Comic Con in October.Picking up on a plot thread writer Geoff Johns had left in The revival of that hideous ’90s style (which basically meant an imitation of that decade’s Image style) was the last straw for them. Supposedly, the event would have allowed writers to tell stories from any point in the company’s history. A few new ideas & characters will last, and the rest will be looked at as a passing phase.I’m looking forward to seeing how this shakes out. After making some updates from new information, I stand by my reporting.“Thats right, Dan DiDio! If they want to create some new heroes, fine!. just scroll down to the section called The Dirt. It always does in corporate superhero comics.In short, DC are once again addressing the same “problem” with the same solution which has never worked and never can work, mainly because of A, comics’ inability to let anything from the past be forgotten, and B, the hierarchical DC universe in which the same three characters dominate always and forever. I remember reading about the rumored Shooter’s Big Bang in “Marvel Comics: The Untold Story”, and honestly wishing that had transpired. Why do this?
