DC Comics Co-Publishers talk 2013 Crossover, Gay Characters, Creator Rights & More


Posted in: Ringside News

ICv2 got a chance to talk to DC co-publishers Jim Lee and Dan Didio at Comic-Con in our annual conversation about the state of the market and DC’s place in it. The backdrop for this conversation was very different from what it was a year ago just before the launch of the New 52 and DC’s new digital strategy. In Part 1, we talk about the changes in the market over the past year and Lee and Didio’s roles as co-publishers. In Part 2, we talked about the quest for new readers, maintaining momentum, title counts, and the impact of digital. And in Part 3, we talked about gay characters, creator rights, and upcoming projects.
