Cannot express how happy I am with this news.
Welp, after Rebirth and his comments about Endgame, I say its time for fresh leadership.

He’s been helming the ship since long before I got into the hobby. And for what it’s worth, while I complain as much as the next fan-I do think I ultimately got my money’s worth, so there’s that if nothing else. I’m interested to see how this changes things.
Waiting for news that he's been promoted to an even bigger position of power.
The end of an era
For one
I will miss him, seriously.
I started reading comics around the time that he came in and I never stop reading DC comics for a single month.
It is thanks to him that we got some of the best runs on DC from Morrison's and Snyder's Batman to Johns's Green Lantern.

Bleeding Cool has confirmed with a number of sources, inside and outside of DC Comics that Dan DiDio is gone. Rumour has it that this happened from high up at Warner Bros, and was a result of high staff turnover at DC of late, issues with editorial and publishing plans, and Dan being fingered as the man responsible. But that is, right now, nothing more than rumour.
Good. Whilst not as bad as people make out he didnt help overall.
Like with any creative endeavor, there comes a time when you are flat-out empty of new ideas. No one's fault, it's just the way it is with creating. Unfortunately, Didio ran out of ideas a very long time ago and (imo) hung onto Johns' coattails as tightly as he could.
With Johns out, and the good will of Rebirth pretty much gone, I'm happy the change has been made. He seems like a freaking awesome dude to get a beer with and talk comics, but he shouldn't be running a comics company. I look forward to the future! It could be better, it could be worse, but it at least might be different.

Every post I make, it should be assumed by the reader that the following statement is attached: "It's all subjective. What works for me doesn't necessarily work for you, and vice versa, and that's ok. You may have a different opinion on it, but this is mine. That's the wonderful thing about being a comics fan, it's all subjective."
Holy **** end of an era here for real. This is absolutely massive. Didio has been responsible for some stuff I love and some stuff I hate but I wish him well and hope he finds better success elsewhere. Who the hell is going to take over for him? Will Harras be gone too? If I was doing a clean sweep I’d let him go as well.
Good riddance.
This is awesome news. DC may be making some progress now. Hopefully Geoff Johns will be gone as well.
