I wouldn't say the DC reboot has been a huge success. Certainly not a failure! But it's nothing ground breaking.
Justice League #1 sold something like 170,000 last month? The death of Ultimate Spider-Man issue sold near 160,000. And I think these were probably the only books to crack a 100,000 those months. That's just the way it is - death books and #1's always sell, so naturally you're going to have some bigger numbers when all you're releasing is first issues. What's going to happen with next month with #2 issues? What about when Resurrection Man gets to issue 15? I would love to be proven wrong, but I think they'll only start to dip.
I think their marketing has been a great success! Comics really need to ramp it up, but I don't think Marvel needs a big reboot to do that. It can work for anything.
