theonlycoreyever asked:
Are the days of series going on and on with issue numbers in the hundreds done forever? I know you're reverting to original numbering with Uncanny and (sort of) Deadpool, but why start over with Hawkeye just because there's a new creative team?
brevoortformspring answered:
The reason to start over is quite simple: the book inevitably sells better that way. So yes, we are likely past the point where series will run on and on for hundreds of issues without a restart, and have shifted more towards a “seasonal” model. That’s not absolute, of course, but that’s the way things seem to be going. On the other hand, DC seems determined to maintain their issue numbers—I certainly would have chosen to restart the John Romita SUPERMAN, the David Finch WONDER WOMAN or the new BATGIRL from a new #1, but they felt differently.
This makes me sad.
