Curious, due to this massive reboot of the entire Wildstorm universe does that mean everything that happen before no longer matters and isn't connected with the current series?
Meaning to get the whole story would one be wasting their time getting up past issues since they no longer matter when ti comes to current series since everything was restarted in changed?

Read the old stuff because it's good. Continuity shouldn't affect that. The only thing I know for sure is out of continuity is the Team One series, and that sucked anyway.

How does this reboot affect Team One? The only thing that I know for sure is out of continuity is the Monarchy. Originally Posted by Leslie Lee III

In my mind, NONE of the old WSU is out of continuity until they say so within the new comics. Read up on the old ones if you want. They're still good books for the most part.

Well some like myself like to know what I'm reading has a purpose in terms of continiuty. Especailly if I'm getting more then one issue and it's an actual story that spans seveal isues. If I'm going to check out new titles and interested in knowing if past title still matter then if they matter or not is important. Originally Posted by Slam_Bradley

A good story is one thing but I don't like wasting time on things that don't matter anymore.

Has someone stated that Team One is OOContinuity? It may be surmised from the female "John Colt" shown in Wildcats, but I didn't think it had been stated. Also, yeah, Gage asked for The Monarchy to be OOC, but has agreed instead to just ignore it within the confines of his story...which was quite nice of him, and I would not hold him to it if he needs to take The Monarchy out of continuity to tell a good story. I'm not married to The Monarchy, I'm married to the Mob.

Going by the female John Colt I'd say that it's simply been tweaked a bit. Considering how critical it is for several characters, establishing certain relationships that would continue through the years and what not, so the whole thing can't be out of continuity. Originally Posted by aelio

Plus there's the whole explination of the Gen Factor which seemed to be less than welcome, the death of Cray who's back in Deathblow apparently.. it kind of looks like that whole crossover will probably be tossed out.
Incidently, I didn't pick up the Worldstorm special, does anyone know how Gage dealt with the whole Aliens crossover? I heard it's mentioned but I'm not really clear on how he got around things like Farenheit having a bloody hole the size of a volleyball in her upper torso..Last edited by lostphrack; 10-24-2006 at 03:12 PM.

Regarding Wildcats/Aliens:
It is only mentioned that SW was wiped out by aliens in Worldstorm. Lauren is back and seems to have suffered some trauma, but not the type of trauma that one would expect having occured from hatching an alien in her chest as shown in Wildcats/Aliens. It seems like Gage is presenting Lauren's survival as a mystery to be dealt with as PhD progresses.

I've never in my life been able to understand this mindset. Whether or not the old stuff ties in directly to the new stuff isn't important. They're superhero comic books, and as such none of them "matter." I can tell you that no matter how good any of the new books are, none of them will come close to Ellis's run on Stormwatch and The Authority. "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow" is one of the best Superman stories ever, and it's not in continuity. Ditto for Kingdom Come. Just find some good writing and enjoy it.

But mostly, the new line will be a way for new creators to take the characters/situations and do their own new thing with them, without being bound by past continuity. They can use whatever they want of old canon, but it's not required.
