On the whole reboot issue one thing, Jeff Loeb said once that he believes comics should reboot numbers every 12 months. #1-#12 then reboot to 1. His idea, if I remember correctly was to allow new readers to jump in without the worry of continuity and keep it easy to follow. (I'm paraphrasing what he said too, it was in a Fatman on Batman podcast, his words make it seem more sensical) Do you agree or see any pros or cons of that?
Well, that’s a very Jeph opinion. It’s very much in line with the way he likes to work on his runs (though he did longer stints on HULK and SUPERMAN). I think the sentiment is solid, but I wouldn’t regiment a run to a specific set number of issues. Certainly Brian Bendis has had great success doing much longer runs, as have guys like Ed Brubaker and Jonathan Hickman. This need not be one-size-fits-all.
