The[...]

Apparently continuing the Hanna Barbera re-imaginings that have proven a hit for DC, DC Co-Publisher Dan Didio shared an image on Facebook that would seem to tease a brand new one to come: animated rodent super-spy Secret Squirrel. Because everyone loves rodent themed heroes in comics, these days. The art, depicting the character in his civilian identity[...]

Dark Matter is about building new fans." I'm going to interject at this point and say this totally looks like the revival of the Geoff Johns Vs Dan DiDio rivalry at the publisher Johns was very hands on with DC Rebirth, and this looks like DiDio's turn.   Romita backed this claim up, noting that the new hero[...]

That's right. Geoff Johns is now President & Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment. Diane Nelson is still President of DC Entertainment, and Geoff still reports to Diane.Warner Bros has Presidents like Marvel has Captain Americas.

Damning a company, creator or content because someone wrote or drew something someone took issue with, rumors perceived as news, news handled like press releases were all once virtually repudiated as just being silly.
