DC Comics’ “Rebirth” title details revealed

Out of the ashes of the old DC Comics looks like they are creating a massive overhaul of their titles, starting virtually from scratch.

Rebirth is the new comic title relaunch scheduled for June, and will see not a reboot but rather, as DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns puts it, an attempt to restore ‘legacy’ back to the DC Universe.

Co-publisher of DC Entertainment Dan DiDio had this to say about the news:

At DC we believe in superheroes, and what makes them great. And, we also believe in the direct market and the core comics fan. Rebirth is designed to bring back the best of DC’s past, embrace the stories we currently love and move the entire epic universe into the future. We are returning to the essence of the DCU. With Rebirth we are putting the highest priority on the direct market and we will continue to create and cultivate new opportunities for retailers to thrive and prosper, grow readers, fans and customers.

A special event revealing all creative teams behind the Rebirth launch is scheduled to take place at WonderCon in Los Angeles, CA come Saturday, March 26. This press conference will be live-streamed on the DC Entertainment’s YouTube channel, so everyone can experience firsthand all of the exciting new details surrounding Rebirth.
