WB Purging DC?

Word from The Beat, Bleeding Cool, Comic Book Resources...reporting on massive layoffs at DC Comics effective today.

I stopped reading the bulk of their current series back when Flashpoint v.2 ended, which brought the lesson to me that sooner or later your money will be considered "too old" for the editorial regime of the moment. A lesson that many fans older than me learned in the late 1980's in the wake of Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Eight years before that mini-series was something called the "DC Implosion". It was similar in scale and scope to what I'm reading about at the moment.

I worry about what will come of this "restructuring".

It looks like the DCU streaming service is dead as a doornail....

Ralph theorizes that WB wants to kill the paper publishing arm of DC and go digital and GN only.
