    I'd hire a number of consultants to help me figure out feasible ways to start earning most of the comics income outside of the direct market while substantially increasing sales.

    THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki

    also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.

    currently following:
    • DC: Red Hood: The Hill
    • Marvel: TBD
    • Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force

    Partial reboot the universe and erase all the sidekicks. Updated sensibilities. Wally will just start his career at 18 but Barry is still going.

    But publish books using the Earth's made in Doomsday clock too.

    Boring answer for a wish fulfillment thread though, haha!

    I guess I'd split up the books into different universes more?

    You'd have for example, a Batman book that carries over more of the character's history, and one that's more like... Batman Classic, less focus on the heavy continuity and more on just having fun and cool stories that any fan can pick up and understand. I'd do that with every character that already has more than one book. Superman gets to split up into something more like what Bendis is doing with the growing son and the United Planets, and one that's more like Triangle Era or the Bronze Age. Justice League splits between whatever is going on in the current series, and something more like the Satellite era. Etc.

    Books like Legion, JSA and Teen Titans get cancellation immunity. If sales are down, don't cancel the title, just change the writer / artist team.

    1. Fire Bendis
    2. Put Jurgens back on Superman
    3. Cancel all books that sell under 40,000.
    4. Reduce all characters to one book initially with the exception of Batman and Superman. (no 13 Harley Quinn titles)
    5. Have a three year "no event" rule.
    6. Reprice all comics back at 2.99 and use news print paper.
    7. If any creators use their twitter to insult fans, they will be warned once and then terminated.
    8. No hires based off ethnicity or gender, you have to have a track record of selling lots of books to get hired.
    9. Bring back letters to the editor in each book.
    10. Realize that it is the majority of the fans who pay for the books and listen to them for what they want....then provide that! Don't waste time listening to a vocal minority on twitter. Crazy thing about business, give the majority what they want and you should be successful.
    11.Nightwing is Dick Grayson again.
    12. 5G...never discussed again.
    13. Tom King is let go...and offered a free 12 years of therapy.
    14.No variant covers

    Those are just a couple of ideas.

    Earth 0 is cluter earth with real time. Earth 1985 is pre crisis Earth 1 with no merge or anyone dying from Crisis.

    Relegate Geoff Johns to non-continuity/flashback stories. While talented, he's not moving the industry forward constantly drawing from better stories 30 years ago.
    Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.

    Good plan. Detective could be Tim Drake's book (it has been handed over to Batwoman before, so why not a Robin?), and Action could be Conner's. The more recent Robin and Superboy (Damian and Jon) would each also have a book, named after their codenames.

    Well teen titans is Damian's book and Legion is Jon's, honestly Bendis did a good job with the first 5 issues of young justice and after that was awful and Tim's new identity was so badly done...

    Create two edicts: One, tell the Generation 1-4 story as was indended, just without the replacement 5G eventuality. The stories just continue from that platform from then on out, with all the history.
    Two, create a secondary line re-creating Earth-1. This imprint starts the a new DC Earth from scratch. The young classics, with lots of freedom to shape them in new ways. The historical line is told in an imprint titled DC-0, while the secondary one is in a line called DC-1. The former would naturally be a larger line because of its longevity and larger cast.

    After those edicts, I follow Ulysses' model and quit so they can hire someone more qualified, and all they have to do is follow those two things.

    I didn't mean to hurt your sentiments. All i am saying is tthat, major changes (except for maybe superman) has been changed back. Yeah! Except for dead parent of barry. Kinda ironic they turned the freakin superman into everyman. They did the reverse with barry.
