I dunno. I like the idea of keeping the stories in "real time," and it's what we've been doing since they first began. The first story was in September 2001, the story introducing Pete took place specifically in January 2002, and so on.
Now, I'm not saying that we should specifically reference the date all the time, but I DON'T think that every single story needs to happen RIGHT AFTER the last one completed! After all, in real life "true adventures" only happen once in a while, and almost never all at once. I certainly don't think each story should begin directly on the heels of the last one.
The progression of time is something I find very interesting in the New Universe. Why should we do things the way DC Comics does?
