(Anonymous) 2013-02-25 01:06 am (UTC)(link)99% of his stories are still intact, he was still with Mary Jane, they were just never married. Do you know got their entire relationship history erased in the New 52? Superman and Lois Lane.
All because Barry Allen wanted to bring back his mother, and he damaged the timestream running through it. Seeing all the damage Barry did, I think he was a bigger idiot than Spidey sacrificing his own happiness to save his aunt.
but if you ask me that creates its own problems as you suddenly have decades of continuity to wade through. Say what you will about DC's comparatively frequent reboots, I find they're a lot easier to get into.
It may be good at first, but I think in the long run it just makes things more confusing, with there being multiple versions of different characters and not knowing what still counts and what doesn't.
I think having a rich history of stories and characters helps more than hurts, and I don't think it's that hard to catch up either.
While I was familiar with the DC Universe via the cartoons and movies, and I had read some old DC issues here and there, the first ongoing series I actually collected was the Cassandra Cain Batgirl series. I read about her online and I was interested in her. I picked up a couple of issues from her series, which was around #15 at the time, and I enjoyed them. I read how she was introduced in No Man's Land, so I bought the five trades of the series along with the first two Batgirl trades. I loved NML, and it introduced me to a lot of new characters such as Renee Montoya and the Huntress. It made me want to read more and seek out more stories with the characters.
If the writing is good enough, you can hook the reader in without starting over from scratch.
