Jumping off the DCU
Aug. 29th, 2011 08:29 pmAccording to the news just received from my local comics shop, Flashpoint # 5 - the last issue of the DC Universe version 3 as I understand it - will be arriving in stores this week.
With the exception of catching up on titles I've fallen behind on up to this point and reprint collections(those most likely republishing material from the 1985-2011 timeframe in particular), that will be the last DC Universe book I buy for the foreseeable future.
I won't rule out ever coming back as a regular weekly customer, but given the misgivings already discussed, DC's reported intent of sticking with their current plans for the next half-decade, and the caveats just mentioned, that's it for me for now.
To the freelancers working on DCU v.4 titles who happen to read this: I'm sorry.
