DC's Dan DiDio Out as Co-Publisher

[DragonPiece]

Just finish reading the article and my impresion was that, it was only a factor but not the only one.

this part seems bigger


I honestly had no idea that so many people had left the editorial

Yep, all of those editors leaving in the past year definitely seems like a pattern we should have been paying attention to more..

I wonder if Bendis is next. Wasn't it Didio who brought him over?

Yes but I highly doubt Bendis is going to get fired. His sales are about the norm for Superman these days. What’s more likely to happen is that he’ll lose a lot of the power he had, and stuff like Wonder Comics will get slowly shut down.

Good riddance.

Now bring in new voices to company.

Pretty sure there was a thread about it. Something something changing tables?

I just hope 5G won't be killed because of it, or that whoever takes charges of DC won't be one of those guys who will be a Nostalgia Fanatics of the pre-New 52 era and trash everything which came to be since 2011....

Personally, I hope that's exactly what happens.

In general, I think DC both as a company and as a brand really suffered under the old leadership. We are living in a world where Marvel is a brand that elicits almost universal love and an expectation of quality. Can we honestly say that DC, for the past several years, has been doing its best to compete? Those people you call "nostalgia fanatics" are just nostalgic for the days when DC told good stories.

I found this interesting (apparently the second tweet is deleted now)

Just please do not give Scott Snyder more power than he already has.

If Bendis pulls out, what place is there left for him to go? I seriously doubt Marvel will allow his clout to reign over a popular character ever again (that's if they do somehow get him back).

Norm wasn't what they were looking for. Even with all the stunts it isn't pulling much. If 5g is a reason and bendis is a driving force of that then there will be repercussions. I don't think there will be a firing. Bendis might loose the pull he had.

From what's being reported, Scott Snyder was one of the opponents of 5G. If that's the case I say give him more power.

If someone did blow the whistle regarding 5G, and the higher ups came in and found out that there were more things involved (the mass leaving of editors and a toxic work environment, for example), they'll want to know why no one had brought it to their attention until just now.
So I really don't think anyone currently employed at DC will get promoted.
Least of all the person that blew the whistle.

I think they'll hire someone from somewhere else.

I seriously doubt this was a spur of the moment revelation. With as many editors who have left and given the corporate nature of Warner Media, there was probably a consensus with the exit interviews that Didio was to blame for them leaving. That probably lead to further investigation which lead to Didio's termination.

Here's hoping that they reach out to Mark Waid for the job!!

[manwhohaseverything]

Waid can be awesome with superman.

[Arnoldoaad]

Mark Waid, Jeph Loeb, Jimmy Palmiotti.

those are my top 3 options.

[Vordan]

Here's hoping that they reach out to Mark Waid for the job!!

Not going to happen as long as Harras is still there. And Waid just took another publisher job with Humanoids.

[Citizen Kane]

Here's hoping that they reach out to Mark Waid for the job!!

No

Sincerely,
Everyone
