At the Boston Comic Con, Dan DiDio led the DC Comics panel, a little smaller in size than San Diego a couple of weeks ago. And Scott Snyder, Tony Daniel, Brian Azzarello, and Aaron Lopresti seemed a little less pressured by PR reps Especially Azzarello who appeared to want to be anywhere else. Scott Snyder told people[...]

At the Boston Comicon, currently underway, I understand that DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan DiDio has been heard telling retailers that orders on the September "Villain's Month" titles have been allocated up to 40% in some cases. For the month of September, DC are publishing a new style of 3D cover for every one of the Villain's[...]

Yesterday, ICV2 published a two part interview with Dan DiDio and Jim Lee They asked some hard questions, but it seemed more of a questionnaire, only a few answers were  followed up, a few intriguing threads were left hanging and I think some were too easily evaded as a result But it's a good piece[...]

Dan DiDio himself VP Marketing John Cunningham did a hilarious job moderating the panel, and if he ever makes a career shift, I think game show host would be the way to go.  Before the festivities began, J Cunningham announced that DC and wecanbeheroes.org raised $2.3 million to help fight the terrible problems in the[...]

Hannah Means-Shannon writes for Bleeding Cool: Head of Marketing for DC Entertainment, John Cunningham, moderated Jim Lee and Dan Didio in a more intimate panel for discussion Plenty of people had made the commitment to dig into some DC news fairly early on a Sunday on the last day of the con.  First up the big[...]

DC plan to do something special every September going forward. Dan DiDio admitted that DC lost momentum Trinity War is an attempt to fix that, with three Justice League tea,s at war, and how that leads into Villain's Month and then into Forever Evil And the first issue of that will also be a motion cover[...]

Because what we're trying to do is reach the biggest audience and be as successful as possible." – Dan DiDio.     I first heard after San Diego Comic Con that DC Vertigo's Executive Editor Karen Berger was planning to leave DC Comics, though it was heavily denied at the time And then the denials became a[...]

Oh, think we can only get two stories out of the Batman Incorporated Special in August? Think again! Posted on Facebook, DC Comics Co-Publisher, Dan DiDio has let us all know. Happy to announce that Ethan Daniel Van Sciver and I will be doing the first Bat Cow solo story in the just announced Batman Incorporated Special coming this[...]

Well, here's a start: IGN has the scoop on Batman Incorporated Special #1 which will include work from Chris Burnham, Ethan Van Sciver, Dan DiDio, Joe Keatinge and others — plus an interview with Burnham in which he talks about writing Batman Inc #11: DC Comics will be releasing the Batman Incorporated Special #1 in August, an[...]

Two DC comic books, not their best sellers, but both with a certain level of invention that's rather entertaining. Phantom Stranger and Dial H. And today,

But I'm told that at the summit, Publisher Dan DiDio apologised to creators gathered around. With President Diane Nelson to his side, DiDio admitted that there had been problems in the editorial chain, apologised for the repeated back-and-forths on people's scripts and art, and committed to reducing such editorial inputs once an editorial direction has been[...]

Mark Waid in charge of DC Comics? That could have been very fun: From an interview between Tom Spurgeon and Mark Waid, talking about working as an editor at DC Comics  under executive editor Dick Giordano; Most-Read Comic Stories Today – Mark Waid and DC Comics, DC Comics April Surprise DC's Holy Sh!t Month Is… Surprise Gatefold Covers?[...]

Indeed, that certain new creative teams are not even going to have a chance to start before they've been switched. The plan from Dan DiDio, reacting to the current market dominance of Marvel NOW! is to jumpstart low-to-mid tier DC sales with spontaneous big ideas and sweeping initiatives Which may need new creative teams and directions I[...]

As a longtime fan of Detective Comics golden age to present, I approve of this concept: Could we get a Detective Comics #900 In April? The numbers have been crunched, the question has been asked and Dan DiDio has responded… Most-Read Comic Stories Today – Detective Comics 900: Will We Get A Detective Comics #900 In April? Could we[...]

From Dan Didio's Facebook page; Think i mentioned this somewhere but JM DeMatteis will be joining me on the scripting of the series It will help keep the series on schedule and with JM, deliver the quality you hope and expect for the book.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYedmnlMSjg[/youtube] Think About The Ink reports; Mark Millar, Dan DiDio and Kevin Feige are just a few of the people to make it into the Top 100 list of powerful people in comics, as determined by Rich Johnston for his new Bleeding Cool magazine! Host Grace Randolph sits down to interview Rich Johnston about this list, the[...]

He said Dan DiDio told him he could take his time since they were "blowing up that continuity anyway".   Shawn Schillberg writes for Bleeding Cool; Do you miss the pre-New 52 DC Universe? Kevin Smith has you covered He's written all but two issues of a sequel to Batman: The Widening Gyre Walt Flanagan is providing[...]

I want to rave to Aaron about my love for SCALPED but am afraid to really start engaging him because he's got "y'all" misspelled in that thing through and across all the volumes with the apostrophe between the "a" and the "l" and those aren't the kind of vibes I want to put out tonight[...]

They have a panel schedule, but if you walk into the hallway you can get sketches from Frank Quietly or talk to Robert Kirkman for more than a San Diego overstayed 30 seconds. It's a convention where Dan Didio fades into the furniture instead of shining in the spotlight. You can pop into the MorrisonCon Theater and[...]

Dan Didio called me and told me he was giving it to someone else And I said if you take that away from me I can no longer work for you because I have taken many a job for you, sir, on the promise of doing this and now you're taking it away and I[...]

  Only in this way can the industry as a whole expand and bring in fresh readership. Rich adds…Dan DiDio, apparently, was most amused. UPDATE: Dan Slott tweets; "Something you should know about your latest BC piece Marvel writers don't HAVE to DL Marvel books We get them emailed to us."   Will Romine writes from Baltimore Comic Con[...]

Present were Dan Didio, Scott Snyder, Jeff Lemire, and Greg Capullo The panel started off with DiDio stating that he skipped Baltimore Comic Con in 2011 because he was afraid of the reaction to the New 52 Other than that, the panel ran like most other DC panels I've been to, so I'll share a[...]

There are no more Anti Monitors. X-23 will appear in a new Marvel NOW! series to be announced soon. Tim Drake called himself Red Robin from the beginning,

At Fan Expo Toronto, Dan DiDio spoke to one of our Little Bleeders at the show This was before the Gail Simone/Bryan Q Miller Stephanie Brown pitch became common currency online, as well as the Rob Liefeld/Scott Snyder Twitter explosion And he started asking Dan about the campaign to send waffles to protest the lack[...]

Joker will make minor crossovers into other titles during the story but the main storyline will be contained in Batman. It was also indirectly stated that Joker knows Batman's identity as Alfred was on the list of hunted bat family members. In 2013 there may also be a story line involving the Riddler and his origin. Dan Didio[...]

But I was told by some closer to Dan DiDio that no, he hates the character, and there's not a chance of her return. Still don't buy it it. Especially since yesterday, he posted this on his Facebook page. Yet Yet Yet Yet Yet Yet Yet Yet Yet Yet Yet Yet. Yet. Well there's a thing. Much has been made[...]

Dan DiDio spoke to Ain't It Cool News, telling them; We have a lot of exciting stuff happening right now, and we find with the zero month we're going to be able to fill in some of the origins but also set up some new and exciting stories Including the return of the Joker in the[...]

In an interview with Dan DiDio and Jim Lee for ICV2, we started to get a feel for the seasons at DC Comics A New 52 event in the autumn, and a non-New 52 exploitation in the spring So Spring will give us Before Watchmen and Sandman Zero, and September gives us the New 52[...]
