Dawn of DC: DC comics is trying another reboot

 Whenever DC, or Marvel for that matter, says that something will be a good 'jumping on point' you can guarantee that older fans will begin freaking out, since we're about to see changes in beloved characters and rarely something that will last until the next event.

I'm only buying a few continuity DC books now, so the current Dark Crisis really hasn't bothered me. The Dawn of DC "event" will have twenty new titles and several tie-ins, beginning in January with one of their oldest titles, Action Comics, kicking the whole thing off.

This just seems so much like the "New 52" that dwindled down pretty quickly, with many books barely getting to issue #6. Looking down the list of those already announced the only one that caught my interest is Unstoppable Doom Patrol, as I've been pretty loyal through every incarnation of the team since their introduction.

Hal Jordan and John Stewart each get a Green Lantern title and it seems that Conner Kent (the Superman/Lex Luthor clone) is back and getting his own title.

Be interesting to see the reaction to all this in fan media over the next few months. You won't be seeing a deep dive by this Old Fart of Fandom.
