Come June, DC Comics is doing, I guess you could say a soft reboot, as they don’t seem to be exactly ending The New 52 line, but not promoting it at the same time.
DC just announced 25 of their New 52 titles will continue, but they are launching 24 new titles with all-new #1s, which brings the total to 49.
The info also noted that DC will be “going back to basics” with characters such as Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. It’s unlcear exactly what that means, but most fans of Superman are hoping for the pre-New 52 version, I would imagine (at least I am).
Above, DC All Access released a video regarding what they feel are the top new eight DC series just announced.
There are some huge changes in store for the DC Universe this summer, and DC All Access has the lowdown. After this morning’s big comic announcement, we list off the eight new and returning summer titles you absolutely cannot miss. So which one has you counting the days till June?
