Heroes start over at DC

That's very interesting.

I think I'll start reading comics with my sons when this happens - we'll pick a few favorite heroes and start collecting from the new #1 issues.

>>I'm a little unclear on what to make of this latest reboot. The Multiverse was introduced in '62, and existed until '85 when they did the Crisis, which was amazing, but not entirely satisfying (Particularly if you liked the multiverse, like I did). 23 years. Then they did the more recent crisis on '05, which is 20 years since the old reboot. Here we are six years later, and they're rebooting again?<<

Yeah, I'm a bit unclear as well. Is this intended to be a full reboot of the entire universe? Cuz I thought it would be a month or four, just basically doing an elseworlds for the entire universe, then return to the traditional numbering and continuities. If this IS intended as a permenant thing, I see it going the way of Marvel's Heroes Reborn and burning out in a year, forcing DC to go back to their old continuity anyway. But I am excited about at least seeing what they're gonna do.

Also, why does everyone neglect Zero Hour when talking about DC's crisis reboots? Zero Hour: Crisis in Time was their 2nd Crisis series. Infinite Crisis was 3rd.

I just keep thinking of Legion and the whole "Now we're re-starting everything. No, wait, that didn't work...uhm...we're re-starting things again. Ok, now we're re-restarting things. Ok, I know this is the fourth time, but honestly, for real this time, we mean it!"

I'll admit it: I forgot about it.

IIRC, wasn't there *supposed* to be another crisis in 1986 called "Crisis on Finite Earth" or something like that, in which they explained away all the continuity problems and stuff caused by the Crisis? Like the second superman and whatnot? I know they never did it, but I was under the impression that Zero Hour was in part dependent upon some ideas from that abortive maxi-series.
