More Changes And Upset For DC Comics
It wasn't the change that anyone was expecting. When Friday's rumors of a resignation within DC Comics' upper management hit the nets, everyone was thinking executive editor Dan DiDio. But instead, it was Senior VP of Business Development John Nee. Shockwaves felt around the industry tended to be of the confused, "Who is John Nee, and is this important?" flavor. Under the jump: Answers to those two questions. More »

DC Comics Heading for Major Shake-Up?
For people who haven't been enjoying the adventures of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman or any other DC superheroes over the last few years, relief may be at hand. It looks as if DC Comics Executive Editor Dan DiDio is about to be removed rather soon. That's the rumor that's been going around comic circles recently, made all the more believable by the past month being one of the more unfortunate for DC's PR department in recent memory. Declarations of tiny tyrants, the problem of being second best, and the dreaded deadline doom, all after the jump. More »

DC Makes Decisions To Bring Superheroes Into Politics
While Green Arrow has never made much effort to hide his particular brand of liberalism - including running for (and winning) the role of Mayor of Star City - the same can't be said of other superheroes. Is Batman really the hardline republican that we all suspect him of being? What kind of "American Way" does Superman stand for, anyway? Those questions, as well as many others that you didn't even know anyone wanted to ask, will be answered this year in DC Universe: Decisions, a new series from DC Comics due this fall. More »

It appeared at last month's New York Comic-Con, and then again in last week's DC superhero comics. Later, an easy-to-read version showed up as part of an interview with DC Comics head honcho Dan DiDio over the weekend. I'm talking about the whiteboard of doom. This is DC's latest attempt to tease fans with hints of what's to come in the next year or so. Having trouble telling your JSA from your JLA on the whiteboard, and wondering what it all means? We'll try and make some sense of it all, under the jump.

The Multiverse Is Strictly Business, Says DC Comics Czar
If you've found DC Comics hard to understand over the past year, chances are it's because of the multiverse. DC used to have tons of alternate universes, but they collapsed into one nice, tidy universe in 1985. Until last year, when suddenly DC had 52 different realities to play with again. I decided to hound DC super-editor Dan Didio for an explanation as to why DC's writers and editors are so obsessed with alternate timelines. Here's what he said the second and third times I asked him, plus some info on multiverses in science fiction. More »

Comics Wrapup from WonderCon: DC Abandons Lesbians; Vertigo's Superheroes Are Reluctant
Now that the dust is settling on WonderCon Weekend it's time to look back and wonder, as we so often do, what just happened? Anywhere that you can see Elvis with a hustle of Leias has to be one of the most wonderful places in the world, despite the hype and inevitable disappointments. The headlines, the low points, and bits that we didn't tell you about at the time all await you after the jump. More »

Less Lesbians and Teenage Death In Upcoming DC Comics
Hope you weren't getting too excited about that Batwoman series that Dan DiDio said was happening last night; today's DC Universe panel included DiDio admitting that he'd made a mistake, and that it was actually Batgirl who was getting her own series, not DC's favorite lesbian crimefighter. Other than that, the DC panel was again light on actual announcements, with DiDio answering one question with "If you go to the New York Comicon [in April], I'd have answers for all you guys [asking about new series]." That said, there were some interesting hints and answers amongst the bantering about Final Crisis, dead teenagers and why DC as a company is going to start cracking down on creators. More after the jump. More »
