And that was fast. After four years DC Comics has come to the realization that the New 52 wasn’t such a great idea so it looks like we’ll be getting another reboot of the DC Universe. But this one comes with some good tidings – including  a price drop.

At WonderCon, DC let loose with some good news about their reboot, titled Rebirth. The comic publisher spilled the beans on a major price drop across the board as well as who the creative teams will be.

Each of the titles in the Rebirth event will be priced at the $2.99 point, which is a godsend for fans who have been buying multiple titles for $3.99 for the last few years (how long this lasts will be an another argument for another day).

Along with the price drop and new storylines we’ll also be getting new writers and artists. Of the 31 titles we know of 29 creative team line-ups. They are as follows:

Batman – Written by Tom King with art by by David Finch and Mikel Janin

Two more titles, Super Sons and JLA, were not given any creative teams as of yet but that is likely to change very soon.

“Sometimes you lose your way, you get a little lost,” co-publisher Dan Didio said. “You felt it. And after a while, we felt it too.” This time around it might be too little, too late.

Once again DC makes it easy for me to pare down my pull list. Every time they do an event like this it makes me want to buy mainstream comics like this less and less. Even with some pretty good creative teams I don’t see myself buying more than 1/3 of these titles.

One major plus is that the veteran titles Action Comics and Detective Comics will return to their original numbering, showing that they started way back in the late 1930s. These were titles that, despite the New 52 reboot, should have kept their original numbering all along. So kudos to DC for rectifying this mistake.

Rebirth kicks off this May with a one-shot special before the event goes into full swing in June.
