DC says 'enough' to continuity.
I'm not really the best guy to write about this, I'm not a huge DC guy. News is news though, so here we go. I just won't have really in depth commentary on the subject.It was announced earlier today that DC, in the aftermath of their Convergence event, is cancelling a slew of books (27 of their 52 to be exact) and launching 2 dozen new ones in their place. They are also dropping the "New 52" label from all their titles.
Supposedly, this move will also bring about a shift in DC's storytelling.
"In this new era of storytelling, story will trump continuity as we continue to empower creators to tell the best stories in the industry," DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan Didio commented.
There are a couple of strange moves in this new strategy. Supergirl is among the titles cancelled, even though a TV series staring the character was just green lighted by CBS.
Also, just as (if not more) puzzling is that both Bizzaro and Bat-Mite are getting their own titles. Yes, Bat-mite.
It will be interesting to see how this new direction plays out for DC. The de-emphasis on continuity will clearly free up the writers in what they can do in future stories, but for continuity freaks like me, it could take a while to adjust to it.
