A general relaunch in January?

[Konja7]

Death Metal will end in December (Issue #6 and #7 will be released this month).

Also, all Endless Winter event will happen on December.

Do you think we will have a general relaunch in January?

The Death Metal #7 solicit says its released the first week of January, but yes, there will most likely be a relaunch

You're right. I only see that Death Metal #7 was in the solicitations for December, I should see the exact date.

That said, I think they putting a comic released in January with the solicitations for December increase the possibility es of a general relaunch in January.

I mean, it's about time Action, Detective, Flash, and Wonder Woman had new #1's...

[Digifiend]

The fact those four are on legacy numbering is exactly why they won't. Action and Flash will get new writers though.

Given the fact that the January 5th final issue of Death Metal was solicited in the December Solicitations I’m going to say yes because what else is there unless they plan on just doing an entire filler month post the first week of January. I’m expecting new series will get #1’s and series they don’t want to end will get to continue with new creative teams.

[Digifiend]

Yeah, looks like new creative teams without a renumbering for Superman, Action Comics, Flash, Justice League, and maybe Nightwing (November wraps up the Ric stuff and December is a filler issue). New status quo for the Gotham books judging from the Detective Comics solicits (looks like they copied Champions, lol). Green Lantern will relaunch in March, and at some point between January and March I would also expect relaunches for the following: Teen Titans, Supergirl, Batgirl, Harley Quinn, Suicide Squad, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Justice Society, Shazam, and a third Justice League book to replace Odyssey.

I'm sure I must've missed something out.

I think it is pretty possible Superman, Flash, Justice League, and Nightwing (if it gets a solo) have new #1. Not so much Detective Comics or Action Comics.

I mean, the solicitations don't mention Final Issue, but it wouldn't be the first time solicitations don't announce final issue before a general relaunch (the solicitations for August 2011 and May 2016 didn't have Final Issue announcements either).

Also, a new #1 will increase sales for a while.

[Digifiend]

Flash has legacy numbering, so like Action and Tec, it would make sense for it to keep it's existing numbering.

[Harpsikord]

I get the feeling that March might be more likely. That's probably when we'll get new Green Lantern and it gives us time to allow the books that aren't finished their current runs or arcs yet to finish.

Say what now-- is this something that's been announced already? I hadn't heard anything about GL past Morrison's end of season 2.

[Robanker]

Looks like a relaunch, but not a full-blown reboot. We'll see in January, but there's definitely that feeling from Final Crisis (where there were rumblings of trying to reboot), Convergence (where they were moving, thus filler) and the like.

Endless Winter really does come across as a filler event to buy some time.

Do you seriously think there'll be no GL book? We know Morrison is done after Season 2 #12, which is out in February. Therefore, there'll obviously be a relaunch in March. We don't need an announcement to know that much.

[Flash Gordon]

Seems like a filler month to hold over till a relaunch. Andy Lanning is sure getting work in December.

I for one would hope so.
