DC Comics is saddling up for a new reboot and a new beginning with Rebirth. Beginning in May, DC’s superhero comics will begin anew with Rebirth specials and new #1 issues for ongoing series. They will follow the release of the 80-page DC Universe: Rebirth #1 on May 25.

But not all of the books will start over at #1. In addition to renumbering several titles to #1, DC announced that Action Comics and Detective Comics will be return to their original numbering. This means that Action will pick up at #957 and Detective at #934.

“At DC we believe in superheroes, and what makes them great,” DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Dan DiDio said. “And, we also believe in the direct market and the core comics fan. ‘Rebirth’ is designed to bring back the best of DC’s past, embrace the stories we currently love and move the entire epic universe into the future. We are returning to the essence of the DCU. With ‘Rebirth’ we are putting the highest priority on the direct market and we will continue to create and cultivate new opportunities for retailers to thrive and prosper, grow readers, fans and customers.”
