It’s one of the biggest publishing company overhauls ever, and a forward-thinking embrace of internet publishing.

But alll these new DC number one issues–52 titles (including the venerable Action and Detective) renumbered as if they’d never existed before, as a way of promoting the new simultaneous releases of the print and online editions– has not overwhelmed me at all. I haven’t bothered with any of ’em. And I’m a diehard longtime DC fan.

After Batman’s death and rebirth, the Flashpoint nexus, Brightest Day, Blackest Night and Grayest noon, I’m completely new-concepted out. The new DC number ones don’t swirl their storylines together as avidly as those other stunts have, but they do reinvent or reinterpret a host of heroes (again), and I’m done with that for a while.

To add insult to ubiquity, in launching all these new books, they’ve canned or stalled a bunch of my favorites. Bryan Miller’s brilliant take on Batgirl? Over, replaced by the return of Barbara Gordon in the role. Superman’s year-long stroll across country, scripted by Michael straczinsky? Out of step; Supes flies again. Batman Incorporated? Its stock has split.

The only new DC title that really interests me its the latest revelation of Swamp Thing, but I’m more curious than especially of true (or new) quality there. Luckily, I’ve been cleaning the basement and have baskets of back issues to dig through. I’ll take rediscovery over reinvention any time.
