Honestly, I'll be following the news, but I don't have high hopes. The most interesting thing seems to be that DC is trying to have the comics reflect their live action properties a bit more.
But if DC really wants to fix their problems, they need to stop treating their books as if single issues don't matter -- ESPECIALLY as it applies to C/D-lister characters.
>>80010229 is right on the money: DC execs/editorial are clinging to this idea that "good" trades will make up the money that single issues miss.
But that's somewhat obviously not true. The highest selling trades...are from the highest selling books. The two "original" trades from DC -- The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen -- were very popular books during their initial monthly release. I mean, hell, Watchmen is based on fake versions of D-lister characters, and it still managed to be a big seller (even with its higher price point).
The concept of "writing for the trade" is one of the many things killing DC.
