DC Comics' Dan DiDio has said that reboots are a thing of the past at the company.

The home of Crisis on Infinite Earths, Zero Hour, Infinite Crisis, Flashpoint and Convergence has apparently put aside relaunches and restarts, if the co-publisher is to be believed.



"Look at the marketplace right now: there is a proliferation of comic books out there," he told CBR when asked about employing new and veteran creators.

"You can see 400 titles on a monthly basis. We want to make sure we have the best talent pushing forward - we're looking at the entire talent pool now, and saying, 'Who's best to execute our books? The best interpretation, the best voice, the ones that are able to push this character moving forward?'

"Our goal is never to be in a position where we are restarting, relaunching a line, ever again. Quite the opposite. What we really want to do is build on what we created from the launch of New 52, take what existed beforehand, integrate that in, to give us the best interpretations of the characters that organically move forward, and are all part of one big continuity that is DC Comics."

After its recent Convergence event, DC recreated its multiverse, apparently leaving itself with a playing field where all past continuities are part of its makeup.

Forgive our scepticism, but we'll believe that rebooting is dead when we've seen the body and not a moment before.
