You know I am a big fan of DC but if they really think that titles like OMAC,Shade,Swamp thing,Static, and Grifter are going to pull them along in this economy it's not only going to fail but take many long time fans w/them.

The "pop" they get from the reboot will last awhile but with many unsustainable titles it's going to hurt the good major ones they DO have.

I also find it odd JSA didn't get in as part of the 52. The sales alone are equal to MANY of the fringe titles combined.

So far, I haven't been a fan of what DC has placed on the table. The whole 5 years ago start point leaves a lot of questions and I still haven't figured out how the old Crisis (both Original Crisis & Final Crisis tie in. since according to DC happened 5 years ago)

I give this DC reboot about 3 years before DC does another "Crisis on Infinite Earths" (which will mark the 30th anniversary of the event). That gives them time to watch comic sales drop, introduce the Wildstorm Universe, and produce enough "Other Earth" comics (aka: JSA which is being written by James Robinson and will take place on Earth-2) for fans to care.

I can only imagine that somebody who has collected all 800+ issues of detective comics has seen reboots so many times before they would be jaded: "At least Bat-Mite is not back!"

Still, I think DC stands for "Discarding Continuity"
