Ancient comic book history and a slightly mis-remembered reference adding up to confusion - my bad. Please see this:

[]

In 1989, the last 3 of the 8 NU titles were cancelled with their #32 (Starbrand had been published irregularly and got the axe as well). Four, however, were cancelled even earlier in their numbering. The Marvel NU was wrapped up with two one-shots and a 4-issue limited series till its re-introduction into the Marvel multiverse.

Anyway, this is about DC. And frankly, I put a lot of hope in Morrison´s Multiversity title to revitalize editorial and audience interest in DC´s history.

May I be heretic for a moment? With a grain of salt: The DC Database is perhaps contributing to my fanboy sense of alienation what with the initiation of over-detailed - and not always consistent - differentiations between Pre-Crisis, New Earth, Prime Earth, Pre-Zero-Hour and what-have-you versions of characters (and don't get me started about the Legion ...). The database is a most worthy project with a perhaps necessary approach, and I love DC books - but I cannot help but question the company's course which is being reflected in this community.
