What a week. The trades have spent the better part of the last week dropping story after story and leading many to believe the DCU may be a full fledged reboot. So will it be a reboot? Soft Reboot? Half measure? Taylor and Michael are joined by Andy Behbakht and Prime_76 as we break down what happened, what the facts are, and what we think is going to happen going forward.
