USA Today hat geschrieben:Starting this summer, the publisher will re-number its entire DC Universe of titles, revamping characters such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and others from its 76-year history for a more modern and diverse 21st century.

The first book to be released under this new era: Justice League No. 1, out Aug. 31. The series by writer Geoff Johns and artist Jim Lee reunites the famous lineup of Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Wonder Woman and Aquaman.

Johns promises a focus on the interpersonal relationships within DC's trademark superteam. "What's the human aspect behind all these costumes? That's what I wanted to explore," he says.

In September, an additional 51 first issues will make their debut, introducing stories that are grounded in each character's specific legend but also reflect today's real-world themes and events. Lee spearheaded the costumes' redesign to make characters more identifiable and accessible to comic fans new and old.

MJ hat geschrieben:Naja, mit allem was Johns geschaffen hat, hat DC Marvel um Lichtjahre überholt.

Ein Reboot tut gut naja...launch...warum nicht? Ist, wie ich finde, ein mutiger Schritt, sich nicht auf den hohen Nummern auszuruhen, sondern mal was Neues zu probieren.

Das einzige, was mich skeptisch stimmt: alles soll kinderfreundlicher werden. Aber machen wir uns doch nichts vor, 70% der Leser sind älter als 20!
Ich selbst lese nur Trades und überlege bei den #1 nach Jahren wieder in den Floppiekauf einzusteigen!
Aquaman wird soooo gut!

CBR hat geschrieben:“Its not just renumbering all these books, its about going systematically through the DC universe and reenergizing and re-imagining a lot of stuff that formed these characters and their back stories,” Lee told the packed audience.

Johns and Lee then divulged details about their new “Justice League” comic book series due August 31st. Johns emphasized their comic would get back to basics by focusing on the League’s core team members: Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, and Aquaman.

“I did a run on ‘Batman,’ I did a run on ‘Superman,’ but this really is the ultimate book,” said Lee. “I was a huge DC fan as a little kid; ‘Justice League’ back when Cary Bates was writing it [with] that kind of classic, iconic seven members, that was the run on ‘Justice League’ that really inspired me.”

Revealing that the first “Justice League” story arc will take place in the past and sees the formation of the League, Lee stated that their intention for the comic was to give the League an “awesome” modern reason for existing as well as reestablish the characters.

The pair also reiterated their commitment to drawing in new readers as a large part of why they are undertaking the renumbering, reminiscing about how they first got into comics. “I remember when they relaunched ‘Superman’ #1 back in the days of John Byrne, that got me super excited about that storyline – even though everyone knew the origin of Superman, the fact that it was being done in a contemporary fashion made it feel special. it made it feel like my own version,” said Lee.

Johns also took the time to address fans concerns about the relaunch, comparing it to the initial backlash he received for his “Green Lantern: Rebirth” storyline, which brought Hal Jordan back into comics continuity.

“The funny thing is, comics are always changing. If Superman didn’t change from 1938 he wouldn’t have super villains, he wouldn’t be able to fly,” said Johns. “I think if you do it with care…[and are] true to the emotional ideals and the morality ideals that are in the heroes, that’s the goal.”

The audience cheered when Lee and Johns dimmed the lights to present a special video message from comic book writer Grant Morrison, who the pair officially announced as the writer half of the new creative team on the relaunched “Action Comics” (Ralph “Rags” Morales will handle the art side). Calling Superman the “greatest idea we’ve had as a human species,” Morrison stated that “Action” would serve to retell Superman’s origins, bringing a modern perspective to the title that first introduced the character in 1938.

“Its time to make a new language for comics, a new kind of philosophy, a new kind of propulsive storytelling that will do things that the movies can’t even catch up with,” declared Morrison. “We hope everyone’s going to get involved and join us in this voyage into the unknown.”

NBC New York hat geschrieben:After 15 years of wedded bliss (or as close as comic books get to it), are Superman and Lois Lane about to be single again?

DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan Didio hints to PopcornBiz that, on the heels of the recently announcement of a line-wide revamp that will involve both wholesale changes and subtle tweaks to its entire roster of characters, the long-standing marriage between the Man of Steel and Metropolis’ most intrepid reporter just might be wiped away in the new continuity.

“Let’s just say it's being reexamined,” says Didio, who oversees the 77-year-old comic book company, which relaunches all of its titles with 52 new #1 issues in September, “because it's something that I think is something that is so valuable to the character's story that you really want to explore all facets of it. Not just as it exists currently.”

MJ hat geschrieben:Ich hab jetzt nach Jahren wieder Comichefte für September geordert.
15 DC Comics werden den Weg zu mir finden.
Der Relaunch wird genial

MJ hat geschrieben:Weil ich endlich wieder monatlich Hefte lese und es endlich eine Möglichkeit für Einsteiger gibt.
Denn Superheldencomics sind sicherlich die mit Abstand schwer zugänglichste Kost. Ich hoffe nur, dass alle Titel ohne Vorwissen entspannt zu konsumieren sind.
Was hast du denn geordert?
Holst du dir deine Hefte aus nem Shop oder übers Netz?

Ich bin gespannt wie schnell was rausfliegen wird. Vielleicht kicken sich Serien auch durch Einstellung raus, wer weiß.

Übrigens spielt es keine Geige, dass das Cover von Superman #1 nicht das Richtige ist (Fake ist es schon mal nicht, da es ja eine echte Zeichnung ist und nicht von einem Fan!), denn es geht ja um das grottige Design Supermans und das ist ja leider sehr echt, wie die ersten Zeichnungen der JLA beweisen.

MJ hat geschrieben:Echt du wirst DETECTIVE COMICS komplett von Tony S Daniel lesen? Der Typ ist ein einziger trainwreck. Und was reitet dich, dass du OMAC probierst?
Bei Hawkman hoffe ich einfach, dass es nicht ganz so scheiße wird, da mag ich den Charakter sehr.
