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.

Despite a strong late surge from Marvel Next Big Thing news, DC dominated the day with the fallout from the DC New 52 panel, which had the kind of long line and packed room that usually only tv/film panels attain. There’s been a lot of talk about whether comics would regain center stage at San…

The Advocate has published an interview with DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan DiDio on the DCU’s cast of LGBT characters.

This is one of the other things I’ve enjoyed about the build-up to the new DCU: changing solicit & promo graphics and info (sometimes more than once!) creating clues, uncovering secrets. Like turning solicits into a big, collaborative, multiplayer game. Most-Read Comic Stories Today: Identifying The Mystery Woman On The Original Cover Of JLI #1…

Yesterday, Fox News decided to suggest that because DC have plans to reintroduce one of their iconic characters to the New 52 as a gay man, that meant that Superman might be gay. Today, the closest (and I originally mispelt that as “closet”) thing the UK has to Fox News, the Daily Mail does the…

Thanks to Fox for this one.
