    @TheOptimist: You do a good job of breaking it down better than I ever could have. Totally Agree with you on the distinction between this and "One More Day."

    I am really surprised at the amount of comments and conversation generated by ramblings. Thanks for contributing everyone!

    Strange how the "NEW" folks on comic-vine seem to approve of the Reboot, almost in defiance of society at large, makes me wonder..

    @Primmaster64: I know. I'm liking what Grant Morrison is doing to the character in the revamped origin in Action Comics, that seems really interesting. And aside from that hitch in the Superman series, I like the look of it so far. The DC reboot so far seems OK, it's just this one thing that annoys me a great deal that DC have not pulled off well.

    @roboticjesus: Thanks and it's no problem to comment on a thread with a discussion topic this interesting. Although I don't know why when you replied to my comment the username came up as the optimist when it is in fact a completely different one. LOL at that little technical error.

    @Lvenger: I meant to reply to TheOptimist, so not sure what is going on. Technical glitch or user error, may be both?

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I respect that, but it is small mindedness and presumptuous statements like this where I find myself biting my tongue. Everyone is welcome to the conversation, but don't contribute anything.

    Why don't you share your thoughts on the reboot and why you feel that way, rather than some vague criticism of "NEW" folks?

    Yeah, I'm not too thrilled by the "new" folks comment either. I've been on Comicvine for years, but I don't post to the forums often unless I have something to say (like now). I've been collecting comics since before I could read. I've worked at two comic stores and have watched them both close down thanks to a stubborness within the industry. I don't feel too "new" at anything concerned here, and I'm overly enthusiastic about this reboot. I think it's high time and that they've given it to the right creators. DC has been underwhelming for awhile now. Maybe the fans who are so resistant to change should start to feel like they're part of that problem.

    @roboticjesus: Probably both. In any case it's working fine now and the Optimist does a much better job than I did outlining the links and similarities between the DCU reboot and One More Day and on breaking down the new reboot.

    I have a read a few things recently to indicate that while JLA is earlier, it's not quite as early as Action Comics will be. Somewhere inbetween "current" continuity in the titles and the 5 years earlier of AC.

    I feel sorry for everyone who doesn't see the reboot as a good thing. They are just stubborn people who don't like to embrace change. They lack progressive thinking and see this is the way forward.

    You sound like a paid Schill, Iv'e noticed several new users popping up on the various comics news sites extolling the virtues of this reboot.It is transparent and comical.

    Or maybe it's proof that this reboot will bring in the new readers that Superman desperately needs. How is the fact that people are so excited about this that they're signing up for new sites and getting involved in them a bad thing? Unless you want comics to become so exclusive that the industry collapses. You sound like petulant child who wants things to stay his way forever. I'm glad people are so passionate about this that they're joining comicvine. I bet the moderators are too.

    @Jekylhyde14:  
    If that turns out to be the case and DC fans embrace what's coming you will have proven me wrong. I wouldn't hold my breath though. Petulant? LMAO. Bring it.
