DC's April solicits have leaked on 4chan, revealing that not one but two DC Comics being published in April will change the DC Universe forever… and neither one is even a super-mega-crossover event! Could it be that comic book publishers are overhyping that claim just a little bit? Nah, that couldn't be.

First up is the final issue of Electric Warriors, which promises to "alter the future of the DC Universe forever."
