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?
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.
I’d love to see volume numbers attached to the numbers in that case. I remember trying to plug some holes in my Gen13 run a few years back and the only way to tell if the issue I was looking at was for the volume I needed was to compare the style of the title text.

nikoscream said: Agreed about how DC should have renumbered them. I liked in the early-mid ‘00s when Marvel had several numerically rebooted titles, but you still listed the cumulative number under the new one. I would like to see something similar to that again.
