Would a digital service that let's you read all comics new and old for 15-20 dollars a week work?
15-20 a month maybe but there’s no chance people are gonna that much per week
I do think it would be more interesting to give some beloved but struggling characters mini/maxi series arcs from time to time. Sometimes the stories come out better in that format anyway, but it allows different characters to shine without committing to a doomed and unnecessarily drawn out ongoing that just retreads familiar ground trying to get off its feet.
The annoying thing is going to be how many Bat books will still eat up the now somewhat-limited space. Even though judging by the numbers I know it makes sense.

This is assuming a solid team and direction for each.
Shh!! That's what Didio *wants!* us to think! He wants us to want a mercy killing for the book, when all we need is management who do their jobs. When we start wishing the book was dead, instead of blaming management for allowing crap like Ric, Didio wins.
I'd be satisfied with the classic titles we're all expecting to see, honestly, as long as the mini's and imprints push new and/or C-list characters and push for some solid representation.
The main titles can do the standard stuff like Aquaman and GL and Superman, as long as the imprints and mini's give me Black Lightning, Wonder Twins, Vibe, and Vixen.
Man, even if the only Batman books are 'Tec and Batman, we'll still be looking at a bunch of extra Gotham books. It's annoying as sh*t but you can't argue with the logic. And me personally, I like most of the Bat kids more than Bruce himself so.....

Thinking it over, I don’t think we’ll be losing that much. Problem is, i’m Not really interested in reading the books that are out there now. Justice league is really boring me right now, so i’m Seriously considering dropping it anyway, leaving me with teen titans, young justice and the new outsiders book. I don’t have much incentive to stick around.
No, we really won't see much change. DC publishes what, somewhere around 50-something ongoings a month? So we'll lose the 5-7 books that either sell the lowest or that DC is the least excited about. Most of us aren't reading what we're likely to lose. In fact, if DC did this and didn't announce it a whole lot of us probably wouldn't have even noticed. Especially with all the imprints and mini's still running.
