DC’s New Executive Team
DC today finally announced who would be taking over as publisher as Paul Levitz old job was split in half with Diane Nelson taking over as president and now not one but five people will handle the publishing half. Officially Dan Didio and Jim Lee are the co publishers. Geoff Johns is the creative chief. John Rood and Patrick Caldon will handle the sales and finance part.
Some of this is not surprising as Didio will be moving up a position, which will mean a new executive editor will be named at a later date. Geoff Johns is basically being given an official name to what he has already been doing. Johns has been the creative overseer in all things Blackest Night as well his connections to Hollywood where he has written for TV shows like Smallville and is consulting with the people making the Green Lantern movie. This is in line with all the plans for Brightest Day and the related books. That is a good news since Johns is the creative backbone of the main DC Universe right now. I just hope that he is not taking on too much work. (more…)
