I think the Reboot is nonsense because making all these changes is not going to garner all the new readers that they are hoping for. If they're not reading comics now, how will a reboot get them to start reading? I spoke with a comic book store owner who thinks that the sales will be high for the first couple of issues because readers (new and old) will want to see what's going on but if the product doesn't deliver the readers are going to pass on them. He also said that the sales may be something similar to what happened with all the buzz for the new Wonder Woman (with the new costume) comic, sales were extremely high for the first few issues but then sales started to drop because fans didn't like the "new" Wonder Woman.
