I'll never forget when I bought one of the IDW 'Mirror Universe' books. The ad touted "32 pages in full color!", but it was a 22 page story with 10 pages of ads.
At least tell me the truth.
If the ads were in color, it was the truth!
DC to REBOOT???

This is reason enough alone to do it.
Yes that seems about right.
Stuff like Naruto, Bleach etc is what probably drives most of the sales.
Digital comics is what ive been waiting for. I havent read a comic since 1995 cause hard to get into a story and then not find the rest of the comics.
So if i can go to dc comics website and dwn load the comic to my computer or Kindle then i will start reading comics again.
And for the reboot, thats great, i for one hated all the back story and always felt lost when trying to read them.
Plus with the reboot an hope for a hard reboot, we get new storys with a fresh take on them.
So this reboot will help readers like me.
Wonder how much of Supermans orgins will get changed since the lawsuit. To me would be a good time to change things.
And hoping the paper comics go away so in the next 40yrs my 1990 comics of Superman etc will be worth something.

Prediction: Superman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman will be rebooted to be more like, respectively, Snyder's film, Reynolds' movie and the aborted David E. Kelley TV pilot, despite the fact that two are still unknown quantities and the third was a failure. Conversely, Batman still won't be rebooted to reflect the Nolanverse even though nearly everybody on earth recognizes that as the best version of Batman since at least Dini-Timm.
The GL movie is pretty close to the comics, with input into the script from Geoff Johns. The GL comics are so popular under Geoff Johns' guidance that I think they'll leave things in his hands. I think the Superman reboot is more likely to be influenced by All Star Superman than by Snyder's film and I don't think the Wonder Woman reboot will take much, if anything, from any of the new elements introduced in the failed TV pilot (which actually drew on the comics quite a lot, albeit putting things together in a different way and with a Kelley-esque tone).
The Nolanverse works wonderfully for Batman on film, but isnt really suited for the comics, especially in the context of a shared superhero universe.
As I've stated many times before, the GL film is based on Johns Secret Origin arc. Ryan Reynolds used it as his "bible" to study the character of Hal Jordan and wrote the forward for the movie tie-in release.
"Man of Steel" has rumored (again RUMORED) plot points taken from "Birthright" and probably "Superman Secret Origin" (which David Goyer, a co-writer for the movie wrote the forward for the hardcover release) but we really don't know anything about the plot yet for that movie and most likely wont' for a few months yet.
It seems like some characters and even characters from the Flashpoint reality will survive into this rebooted continuity.

Heroes Reborn: DC style
Been reading/posting on this topic over at the DC boards.
Bad idea then, Bad idea now.
Who are these mythical new readers they think are going to show up and start buying $3-4 a pop comics? Who?
Sales gimmick. The main party to be tricked will be the LCS owner who buys 20% more of a title he wouldn't have 9 months ago. DC/Warners sees a few quarters of revenue increases, your LCS has more $1 books for his bin like what happened with Spidey and BND.

The biggest question for Superman in the new continuity is whether he'll still be married to Lois Lane or whether it'll turn the clock back.
Do you have any details on the failed WW pilot? I heard at one time it was suppose to be about WW working at a law firm.
^ There's an entire thread dedicated to discussion of the pilot here. The last couple of pages I believe have details on the pilot it's self.
WW is a corporate CEO in the pilot, but not of a law firm.

Some of the other new (or renumbered) titles (via Comic Book Resources):
With all these Comic Book Movies coming out (Yes, all but, Green Lantern, Batman and Superman are Marvel) it could revive an interest in Comics, and DC is getting on the Band Wagon in Film.
I never followed comics religiously, but, my brother used to pick up several a week, and I'd read them (Never specifically followed or finished a storyline, just whatever he had) and I seem to recall they were 3 or 4 lines of 3 or 4 panes, and filled with dialog. I saw someone write on this board recently that there's only 3 or 4 pains per page now, and only one text balloon per pane average, I think? That might be a big reason for the people balking at the price, and a reason the price needs to be so high. I'd spend an afternoon on the weekend reading a stack of 5 or 6 comics

Actually she is keeping the new WW costume minus the jacket as we saw in the preview of JLA.
Rich Johnston of Bleeding Cool is reporting... well... you have to read it.
There's rumors of a Captain Marvel book by Paul Cornell.
There is also a rumor of a Firestorm book by Cornell.
