DC recently stated that Flashpoint #5 would be the only comic they would be shipping on August 31st from the entire company. So what's to follow it on September the 6th?

Ten years after the world changed, looks like the DC world will be changing too. Bleeding Cool has already talked about a major renumbering of DC's books post-Flashpoint. And it looks like that will occur the first week of September, across the DCU board, with everything going back to #1.

And the DC solicitations for August do seem to back that up. There's a lot of finality going around…

Brightest Day Aftermath: The Search For Swamp Thing (3 of 3)

The search ends here as John Constantine finally finds out Swamp Thing's dark motives

Action Comics #904

Now it all comes down to a weakened Superman versus the monster known as Doomslayer in this, the epic finale of "Reign of the Doomsdays"!

Detective Comics #881

This is it – the finale so twisted, so shocking we can't even begin to give away details here! Be there for the extra-sized conclusion of the acclaimed run by Scott Snyder, Jock and Francesco Francavilla.

And in issue #5, it's Batman vs. The Architect! The downfall of a major Gotham family! The betrayal of Damian Wayne! It's all here in this final issue, plus the untold fate of Gotham City's first Super Villain!

Superman #714

Superman hits Seattle for his last stop on his "Grounded" walk across the country, and it is in that city where everything will come to a head!

Add that the Green Lantern books are in "epilogue" mode, the Wonder Woman finale has been pushed to August,

Legion Of Superheroes #16

The finale to the battle with the Legion of Super-Villains!

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #10

The T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents make a final stand against The Iron Maiden in the present, as a bitter truth about the villainess and Colleen is revealed in a look back at the past. One of the most critically acclaimed books of the year reaches the shocking finale of its latest chapter

With Green Lantern books on epilogue, Teen Titans getting two issues out to hit and #100 in August and even more "things will never be the same again" solicitations than usual as well, everything is lining up for a big big change in September.

So why is everything going back to #1? And what does the end of Flashpoint mean for the rest of the titles?

But remember, The Dark is coming…
