It's 3 and a half years old so it's now really "new" anymore, so it makes sense for them to stop putting it on all their covers. But this doesn't affect the story or quality of the books at all so it doesn't matter much IMHO.

It's gotten annoying lately. It's not new. And it felt like a constant reminder of the marketing ploy DC pulled to get new readers.

Getting rid of it is long overdue.

I don't really care at all, so I think that pretty much sums up why its pointless to have it on the cover anymore. I just wish they had come up with a new word so that people could refer to DC Universe as something other then the New 52 which everyone is still going to do.

I liked the title. any title. the title gave us an easy way to know if the comicbook in question was in continuity. Now we'll have to ask I guess. Who knows.

It makes sense taking out the label since it can't be the "New" 52 when it's been going on for around 4 years now. Only problem is that it'll be harder to separate New 52 books with Post-Crisis books, especially for comic book newbies who just started reading DC.

One of the few intelligent things the company's done. It hasn't been New for a while, so continuing to call it The New 52 made no sense.

It was about time. The term New 52 was starting to overshadow "DC Comics". It was like the New 52 was this separate thing like the Ultimate Universe or Heroes Reborn instead of just what DC comics are now.

Death to DC for this!!!!

You say that like getting new readers is a bad thing.

Well said

@captainmarvel4ever: Nope. I say that like it was an annoying marketing ploy. It working (or not) didn't make it any less annoying.

@ms-lola: Oh C'mon, is it so bad to have "New 52"" written on your comic if you know it helped get more people into comics? it's the same thing with Marvel constantly setting things back to #1, sure it's annoying, but if it helps get new readers and doesn't hurt the quality, who cares?

@captainmarvel4ever: Did it really help, though? I'm serious. The New52 at the beginning makes sense, but it happened in 2011 and it's now 2015. It's like they kept trying to push the idea it's still new when it isn't.

Don't get me started on Marvel and their renumbering. Even worse is the 1.1, 1.2 and so on. Issue Zeros add to the hilarity. Both companies are awful with it. MarvelNOW, etc, etc. If it's to get new readers, more power to them but it's like buying tickets to a show, sitting down patiently while the ticket sellers are still out there screaming for potential customers and allowing the show to be late in hopes of getting them. And yes, I am weird with analogies, so I offer you an apology in advance. :P
