I'm a fuddy-duddy.
True. Very true.
And mind you, if you reboot some titles or characters...but not others...well, it's A REBOOT. Superman was rebooted in COIE...but Batman really wasn't. Flash (with Wally) wasn't. That was a direct continuation.
DC has "rebooted" a few times, taking the history of their universe and just wiped it away and moved past it with new origins or beginnings all around. Like you stated, even though GL and Bats stories didn't change, DC still rebooted. Of course that Bats/GL thing still just baffles me how they thought that would be the way to do it. Yes, they were the only titles selling well (comparison wise) but to walk into a meeting and say "We are starting completely over. Again. Except for Bats and GL" just seems crazy to me
But with Marvel, they my be casting one or two new characters (we are suppose to get a new Spider-Man ... not Miles, but another different one), but from my understanding the history of the Marvel U, what has gone on before, is not vanishing. And if that is the case, this is not a reboot at all.
However, I must say I am excited about this. Which scares me as I was excited about Convergence and worried about Secret Wars and that turned out to be a total swap in the product, but yeah, I am totally stoked. If for nothing else but for the reason I think I am getting my Dr. Strange title finally
Here are the two posters for the "All-New All-Different" -
Nothing really new that we didn't know on this one, but some comments -
I am not a fan of the new Iron Man look. I would prefer, if they were to go more simplistic, for them to go back to the fantastic 1980s look he had.
New western title? I see that Indian whose name I forgot. taking over for a Hawkeye title?
Black Panther to get his new title?
Female Thor is still around, which makes me both happy and sad.
And
A couple ... days(?) ago, Jimmy mentioned the Thunderbolts. That makes this image of Citizen V so exciting.
We already knew Johnny was going to be in the Inhumans titles, dating Medusa I suppose (which is still wrong to me. Plus he dated an Inhuman already in Crystal, is that his in? Medusa a cougar? Yuk. But here we get Ben ... in a costume with a symbol I can't make out. Almost looks like the new Daredevils' outfit, doesn't it?
and speaking of ... Daredevil gets a new costume?
Hyperion? Is Marvel still trying to make their own Superman? Still? (EDIT - and finally recognized the girl in the upper left. That is Dr. Spectrum. So Marvel going JLA/Squadron Supreme again?)
Who's in the green hoodie? Please not Dr. Doom. Maybe Karnak?
Dr. Strange !!!!!! With a double-sided Ax? Ummm, can't wait for THAT story.
Looks like Old Man Logan is getting his own title. Yeah. Love that world.
And on that same line it looks like X-23 will be the new Wolverine? Guess Logan stays dead for awhile. That is reall smart for Marvel. They get to keep an ongoing Logan title (man does that character sell) while at the same time they get to not only keep a Wolverine title, but they make her a girl, filling the current "let's change everyone sex or race" motif
(Not saying it isn't time, just saying ...)
So what are your thought?
