It’s the end of an era, one that stalwart DC fans have moderately tolerated for nearly five years now. There’s a certain amount of relief that comes with Rebirth, and with it, a certain amount of melancholy. And its Superman had to be sacrificed in order to make it happen.
After all, these new changes have been a long time coming. In a way, this feels like Flashpoint all over again - it’s difficult to truly appreciate these radical events when everyone’s so keen on getting a move on to the Next Big Threat and An All New Era. I mean, when you have Rebirth #1 sitting on top of Superman #52, with that brand-spanking new DC logo publicly shaming the peeled-back corporate insignia underneath it, it’s damn near impossible not to just leap forward. If it feels like the publisher has finally collapsed at our feet after a marathon of Wrapping Things Up just in time to get Rebirth #1 into our hands, well… it’s because that’s exactly what’s happened. But in reality they’re just prerequisites to fully appreciate, yes, Rebirth. Both have moments in them designed to make readers drop their collective jaws. If we’re going to be honest with each other, it has been chaos being a DC Comics fan.Īnd this is an especially chaotic week, with two purportedly meaningful event books being released right on top of each other, though any real impact they might have had has been effectively eclipsed by the coming of Rebirth. Those books - Superman #52 and Justice League #50 - featured the death of Superman (yes, again) and the end of the overlong (and overwrought) Darkseid War. BEWARE - HERE BE SPOILERS, MINOR AS THEY AREīy Jarrod Jones.
