For a little while now, Bleeding Cool has run gossip about an upcoming publishing project at DC Comics being spearheaded by Scott Snyder. One that has been compared to Marvel Comics' Ultimate line, that reimagined a number of main characters in a new continuity, recreating them from the ground up. And we had a name for it, Absolute Comics. Or just Absolute, part of a new relaunch of DC Comics dubbed DC All-In.
