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?

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[...]

In a later panel, Dan DiDio confirmed the news, saying that they had decided to replace Stephanie Brown with Barbara Gordon in the Nightwing role, as Barbara was more iconic and Smallville used icons But later it was revealed that this was also a lie, it was the demanded removal of Stephanie Brown that came first,[...]

Numerous reports are coming in from DC Comics The New Wave panel attendees on twitter that Dan Didio has just confirmed Bleeding Cool's report from Thursday: Barbara Gordon will replace Stephanie Brown in Smallville. Here's what BC's Peter S Svensson told us then: Bleeding Cool's Peter S Svensson reports from San Diego Comic Con "if what my[...]

SeasonWatch: So… anyone want to be in Comic Book Men Season Two? CrossedWatch: David Hine blames me for his new Crossed arc It's a book I've been working on for a while,[...]

I hope Dan DiDio has a lot of maple syrup in the DC Offices. Fans of the DC character Stephanie Brown, whether as Spoiler, Robin or Batgirl, feel that they have been hard done by over the years Amateur crime fighter Spoiler, then Robin, then dead Robin, then revived Batgirl where she starred in her own[...]

We then followed it up with details such as the Zero issues raising issues that would affect the next issues of all the titles, with further confirmation, and creative details such as Scott Lobdell writing Superman, Scott Kolins drawing Legion Of Superheroes, Dan DiDio and Brent Anderson creating Phantom Stranger and more, over the last[...]

The new series will be written by Dan Didio, and drawn by Astro City's Brent Anderson and Scott Hanna. So… will this also be a #0 in September, or will it take a few more months? As ever, this is rumour, and until a project is announced details can change Even after a comic is announced sometimes…[...]

We'll break this into comic-side and film-side tonite because it's been a busy week and I skipped last night getting everyone off to Phoenix Comic Con. If

Not yet, anyway. This question on this Sunday at this Kapow, however, seemed to set off a lot of speculation and mass media attention, and still has people talking about it, from here on Bleeding Cool, to Fox, to the Daily Mail, the Guardian, New York Post, i09…nearly everywhere is making some comment on one small[...]

One of the odder moments at Kapow this weekend (and there were a number) was when Paul Cornell continued his commitment to panel gender parity (you can read about it here) and sat in the audience for the DC New 52 panel rather than sit on the all-male panel with Scott Snyder, Ian Churchill and[...]

One question asked at the DC panel today at the Kapow comic convention in London, was about DC co-publisher Dan DiDio's interview with The Advocate Specifically over the decision not to change any character's sexual orientation when relaunching the DC Universe At the time Dan stated they would introduce new LGBT characters rather than switch[...]

At Kapow in London this morning, DC co-publisher Dan DiDio clarified the company's publishing schedule, by numbers at least. He confirmed that the company will stick to publishing fifty-two ongoing titles in the DC Universe but they will always be "new" and constantly refreshing. So, basically, we can look forward to September and those zero issue folks… Might[...]
