Madeline Ricchiuto reports on A Sunday Conversation with Dan Didio from the BC Liveblog: We got to ask Didio questions And do some whining about the New 52, but mostly questions.

Nikolai Fomich writes for Bleeding Cool: Bruce Timm, Paul Levitz, Dan DiDio, Mike Carlin, and Superman Unbound's Molly Quinn were panel guests at the Superman 75th celebration at NYCC, hosted by DC Entertainment head Gary Miereanu. The panel discussed what makes Superman iconic and their feelings about Man of Steel Timm didn't have a problem with the killing of Zod[...]

But what was most surprising about the premier, as it unfolded to standing room only crowds in one of the largest halls at the con, was how much the film was geared toward very precise knowledge of comics history and, of course, villains; not just the major well-known characters like the Joker, who certainly dominated[...]

I partied hard with the Valiant crew last night. In that we went for dinner and drinks. But one thing led to another and I found myself at a certain

We listened to you and have learned from the experience as we continue to look at ways to excite and invigorate the market. Villains Month has been one of the most exceptional and successful months DC Entertainment has ever seen, and we owe so much of that success to our long and continuing partnership! Again, thank you!

Something I felt I had to correct. Was going to compare Dan Didio to Walter White Felt that's not fare to Walt #FireDiDio — Brian Heinz (@InGeekWeTrust) September 9, 2013 But before we go through the whole game again, here are a few things to consider. @InGeekWeTrust #FireDidio Because Superheroes deserve to be happy and be married!

Animal Man, the only New 52 book to star a married man, is looking as if Buddy and Ellie will be breaking up, in the light of the death of their son, Cliff. The Batwoman #25 You'll Never Get To Read JH Williams III found out that Marc Andreyko was taking over Batwoman and that he would[...]

It got rather extreme. At Baltimore, Dan DiDio clarified that heroes shouldn't get married, as they have to sacrifice their personal lives and personal happiness. We then clarified that, against expectations, Aquaman and Mera were no longer married in New 52 continuity And that Geoff Johns had very carefully written them in Aquaman and Justice League as[...]

Here a few things that happened: Dan DiDio has been talking Batwoman And about a certain story, that JH Williams III and WH Blackman walked off the book because DC refused to allow them to tell the story they'd been building up to, of her marriage.

Today, Dan DiDio told a packed hall at Baltimore Comic Con that heroes shouldn't get married And he explained how heroes have to sacrifice their personal lives And that is why Kate Kane wasn't allowed to marry Maggie Sawyer in Batwoman. But of course, Aquaman is married to Mera. Isn't he? She's referred to as his queen, and[...]

Though co-publisher Dan DiDio seems to deny that below. Whether or not that was the case on that specific point, this is the general objection I've repeatedly heard from creator to creator Some have walked off books as a result of this, such as Andy Diggle, Paul Cornell and Justin Jordan Others have just tried to[...]

Robot6 followed up with the "we publish comics for 45 year olds" though I think "Dan DiDio told Paul Pope to draw Scooby Doo" might have worked as well. He's not alone, from the comments section, Kyle Baker states; "This is why I quit the comics business." I'm only forty… suddenly I feel young For the first time[...]

This week is the Final Order Cut Off date for the first of the 3D Villain's Month covers from DC Comics. Except, the print runs were set quite a while ago, to ensure the 3D cover production process.

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[...]
