I had changed the face a little bit — it wasn't good enough — and interestingly enough, that first poor image got onto the internet. Yeah, uh, sorry about that John. And it didn't go down well. And I got such hate mail over that that I couldn't even get a chance to explain, that was just the[...]

I am really enjoying the current Prez comic from DC Comics. It remids me a lot of Chew, it's all up in American politics as you guys run through your

They went far and wide. But now Conway has issued what he calls "A public apology to Geoff Johns, Dan DiDio, Jim Lee, and Larry Ganem." Ganem, while he may not be as familiar to readers of Bleeding Cool, is DC's senior talent manager, of DC's CB as he is sometimes referred to as Conway writes, Why do[...]

Written by DC Comics co-publisher Dan DiDio with Keith Giffen and Scott Koblish But not only did that aspect not stop the title from being cancelled, but it looks as if he won't even get to have a collection of the comics on his bookshelf. DC Comics has just informed retailers that the collection Infinity Man And[...]

And how he has been told that his co-creation Power Girl was now counted as a derivative character of Superman and so he wouldn't receive any more payments, and also how the Caitlin Snow character appearing on the Flash TV show was derivative of his Killer Frost character, but he wouldn't receive payments for that –[...]

Dan DiDio talked Convergence. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4qunXMPd9E[/youtube] But I talk Columbo. Just one more thing, Mr DiDio, just one more thing. You said "This is the Ultimate Brainiac who steals cities at the moment of their destruction and places them under large domes and brings them to a planet outside of time and space where he can experiment on." And directly after,[...]

And suddenly everything changed, and it suddenly had to matter. Dan DiDio says (below) "There was a great expression from Crisis On Infinite Earths, Worlds live, worlds die and nothing will ever be the same Well, here in Convergence we're going to follow the worlds that died." After being trapped under their domes on Braniac's warworld for a[...]

CBR quoted DC co-publisher Dan DiDio as saying, We were just talking to [Steve Orlando] about it — what he found most intriguing about the story is a single male character We've seen Midnighter and Apollo together in relationships, what he wants to is tell the story about a single male character, and ultimately, what is[...]

About how there were four books from the June mini-relaunch that I was really excited about, but seemed not to be lighting the fanbase on fire. Prez, Doomed, Mystic U and Section 8. So, since I was watching the InStore Comic Convention Kickoff, and Dan DiDio was on the screen, I tweeted out, #conventionkickoff question for Dan… what[...]

DC senior staffers Bob Wayne, Jim Lee and Dan DiDio made a presentation to comic store retailers today, at ComicsPRO in Portland As ever, Bleeding Cool has folks on the ground to cover the conversations being had. They talked about how Convergence celebrates DC's eighty year history, and how the entire event was entirely edited by Marie Javins[...]

Dark Horse's Scott Allie and DC's Dan DiDio in the ComicsPRO bar last night… is it me or do they loo ka little like upside down images of each other? And this is what they were drinking in the bar… And these are the hotel key cards exchanged in the bar…..but remember, what happens in ComicsPRO, stays in[...]

I imagine that such a movie might appeal to fans of The Punisher and The Expendables. I then spoke with Dan DiDio and I posed to him the same question as I did to Jim about Convergence He also conveyed to me the same kind of family feeling that Jim did about the event. Not only about the meetings between the characters[...]

Let us take three articles on CBR. Why not, they can probably do with the traffic. Regarding All-New Captain America, Rick Remender says, We get a really

Dan DiDio gave two Convergence interviews to CBR and Newsarama, lined up to run while Marvel was announcing the details of Secret Wars Both events involving their respective multiversities being mashed up, with many blasts from the past being revived for one night only Or a couple of months, anyway. We first mentioned what would become[...]

Dan DiDio has been posting on Facebook his memories of DC Comics as they prepare for their move to Burbank It sounds a little too much like a memorial speech, or even a retirement eulogy, though I'm hoping neither are on the cards There was the time he failed to successfully pitch Grant Morrison's Crisis[...]

Expect more of this sort of thing. Edited by Dan DiDio and Marie Javins, we have reported a number of creators as being Tim Truman, Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Grey, Scott Lobdell, Fabian Nicieza, David Gallaher, Adam Beechen, Larry Hama, Marv Wolfman, Dan Abnett, Len Wein and Jeff Parker. But I am told to also expect a number of creators new to DC, with a background in webcomics[...]

Well, today as I was walking towards artist ally I ran into Dan DiDio and I always thought to myself if I have the chance to ask him one thing that would be it. DiFio was very polite taking a second to answer my question in regards to why there hasn't been much of a celebration[...]

Also in attendance were Dan Didio, Jim Lee and Batman himself. Update – Here is the report from Dimitrios Haritos: I was able to make it to the USPS and DC Entertainment official unveiling of the Limited-Edition Forever Batman Stamp Series Hosted by Ralph Garman and the panelists of Jim Cochrane Chief Information Officer and Executive Vice President[...]

In-between those last two, I'd met with Dan DiDio and Jim Lee for lunch, and that seemed to go well, so I figured it would just be a matter of time before I got to write something more than fill-ins And soon enough, I was asked to be part of the original Futures End team—when[...]

 Again, it's been left up to the reader to discover on their own which are which (by shelling out $3, or $4 if its the not-so-impressive lenticular covers), but Jim Lee and Dan Didio provided hints last week that Green Arrow, Superman, Grayson, and Booster Gold were perhaps the highlights of the month (with Didio shilling for[...]

Of course. Dan DiDio says, Spending a Sunday night working on the comics (the real never ending battle), and came across this Definitely one of the highlights of my time at DC, but it gets me thinking, has it really been almost ten years since then, and maybe its time to do it one better. That was, of[...]

It's entirely possible he's out on the back nine every weekend with Dan Didio and Bob Harras, followed by sherry and cigars in the clubhouse while they all slap each other's backs, but I don't think that's necessarily relevant This isn't the Vichy government, it's the entertainment biz I think it's perfectly valid to maintain[...]
