Earlier this year, DC Comics made a bunch of executives redundant, including most notably Senior Art Director Mark Chiarello, VP Sales John Cunningham, VP Consumer Marketing Eddie Scanell and VP Bill Morrison. Today, finally, they updated their indicia in the printec comics to reflect this. So we get to compare and contrast.

Here's the new lineup.

BOB HARRAS Senior VP — Editor-in-Chief, DC Comics
PAT McCALLUM Executive Editor, DC Comics
DAN DiDIO Publisher
JIM LEE Publisher & Chief Creative Officer
BOBBIE CHASE VP — New Publishing Initiatives and Talent Development
DON FALLETTI VP — Manufacturing Operations and Workflow Management
LAWRENCE GANEM VP —Talent Services
ALISON GILL Senior VP — Manufacturing and Operation
HANK KANALZ Senior VP — Publishing Strategy and Support Services
DAN MIRON VP — Publishing Operations
NICK J. NAPOLITANO VP — Manufacturing Administration and Design
NANCY SPEARS VP — Sales
MICHELE R. WELLS VP and Executive Editor Young Reader

And here's what was running last week:

BOB HARRAS Senior VP — Editor-in-Chief, DC Comics
PAT McCALLUM Executive Editor, DC Comics
DAN DiDIO Publisher
JIM LEE Publisher & Chief Creative Officer
AMIT DESAI Executive VP — Business & Marketing Strategy, Direct to Consumer & Global Franchise Management
BOBBIE CHASE VP & Executive Editor, Young Reader & Talent Development
MARK CHIARELLO Senior VP — Art, Design & Collected Editions
JOHN CUNNINGHAM Senior VP — Sales & Trade Marketing
BRIAR DARDEN VP — Business Affairs
ANNE DePIES Senior VP — Business Strategy, Finance & Administration
DON FALLETTI VP — Manufacturing Operations
LAWRENCE GANEM VP — Editorial Administration & Talent Relations
ALISON GILL Senior VP — Manufacturing & Operations
JASON GREENBERG VP — Business Strategy & Finance
HANK KANALZ Senior VP — Editorial Strategy & Administration
JAY KOGAN Senior VP — Legal Affairs

LISETTE OSTERLOH VP — Digital Marketing & Events
EDDIE SCANNELL VP — Consumer Marketing
COURTNEY SIMMONS Senior VP — Publicity & Communications
JIM (SKI) SOKOLOWSKI VP — Comic Book Specialty Sales & Trade Marketing
NANCY SPEARS VP — Mass, Book, Digital Sales & Trade Marketing
MICHELE R. WELLS VP — Content Strategy

Some changes will be down to priorities, Some people have been promoted. Some people have been made redundant. Some people have been moved.

Don Falletti has had Workflow Management added to his Manufacturing Operations remit. Lawrence Ganem has had Editorial Administration taken away and Talent Relations changed to Talent Services. Hank Kanalz has had Editorial Strategy & Administration changed to Publishing Strategy and Support Services. Nick J Napolitano has had Design added to Manufacturing Administration. Michele R Wells has shifted from VP Content Strategy to VP and Executive Editor Young Reader. And Nancy Spears who was VP – Sales is now VP Content Strategy.

Dan Miron who was Vice President, Sales Planning & Trade Development didn't make the indicia grade before but is now there as VP- Publishing Operations.

But dropped from the indicia as well, as the ones we know are Amit Desai, Jim (Ski) Sokolowski, Courtney Simmons, Lisette Osterloh, Jay Kogan, Jason Greenberg, Anne DePies and Briar Darden… of them there is no sign. We understand that Ski was demoted… as for the others? We'll see what we can find out.
