DC brass have complained about digital sales being flat, but they don't discount anything anymore and run pretty much the same sales in a loop. If they want their digital sales to go up doing something different would absolutely be welcome.

THR: Dan DiDio (Co-Publisher) has left DC comics
- Thread starter KoolAid
- Start date
Could you imagine if Marvel finally rid itself of the Bendis anchor just to be saddled with DiDio? if ever there was confirmation that we're living in the darkest timeline....
It's finally Bendis' time to shine :p
Boreanaz is 100% from Bones and Bones alone for me. Sorry!
Will he come in as a creator or a exec? What was the last thing he wrote?
I heard. What even is that company lol
The only idea I like more than Waid or Johns in charge.
I think a dirty little secret is that he isn't alone in not liking the Batfamily other than Dick and Barbara
DiDio? Metal Men, which is horrifyingly bad, is on its third or fourth issue right now, I believe. Prior to that, he wrote the New Age of Heroes book Sideways, which wasn't bad.
I don't want to see Geoff Johns get the position though I suspect he's a strong contender for it. Hell I rather Bendis got it and I'm not a huge fan of his.
If it leads to Wally, Dick Greyson, Kyle Rayner and other legacies get some spotlight I'd be pleased.

Another reboot of sorts that ages all the mains and replaces them all with new versions. So for example Lucas Fox as Batman and Jon Kent as Superman
(Not sure if that warrants spoiler tags or not)
Oh, no. Liefeld is happy about this? Then DiDio must secretly be a hero and we're doomed.
Rumored linewide status quo change where all the classic heroes are replaced with a new generation
Wait seriously?? That's what it was?
So there would be an old Barry Allen and a young Barry Allen or something?
They didn't aid in screwing over McDuffies widow, and she's apart of an anniversary issue coming out in a few months.
That would be insane. I'd love to see the creative things that would get greenlit under him. Unless he dropped out of Heavy Metal one day, I don't see him taking a role like that anywhere.
I am talking about Hudlins original Milestone pitch, the one she sued about.
I think the new Flash was rumored to be Captain Boomerang's kid. Maybe it was another villain? Don't remember.
Not young versions of the current mains, no. So Jon Kent as Superman, for example.
Entirely depends on who they get to replace him honestly.
Didio did some good stuff for DC but he sure did a lot of bad as well.
No they would be replaced by younger characters (current rumors are Jon Kent Superman and Luke Fox Batman)
The dude who has been behind the creative vision of the company for the last decade seemingly getting removed feels like a big deal

Didio's hatred of Stephanie, Wally, Dick Grayson and superhero marriages mean I won't miss him. Rebirth was good initially and he did some good storylines, but time for new blood and hopefully someone who makes DC competitive in the digital front.
Please get someone in there that lets Nightwing hang with Starfire again.

He was known to at one time angry stomped down the halls shouting that Countdown was 52 done right.
Uh...no. Marvel has been murdering them in print titles and its not close at all. For 2019 sales to shops, marvel controlled 44% of all titles to shops, DC 30%, with the rest divvied up between image, etc.

Worse, of the top 20 titles for the year, only 5 were DC: Detective Comics 1000, Batman/Superman #1, DCeased #1 and 2, and Batman: Last Knight on Earth. It's pretty much all Batman, outside of DCeased. Nothing else is moving copies.
Marvel had 13: Xmen #1, Black Cat #1, Absolute Carnage #1, Marvel Comics 1000, House of X #1 #5, #6, Powers of X #1 #5, #6, War of Realms #1, Symbiote Spider Man #1, Spider Man #1.
Marvel's lineup is broader and healthier by a lot.
Granted this does not include digital titles or things sold through non diamond outlets like scholastic, but it gives you a pretty good idea of what core titles are selling and which aren't.

As long as someone reverses that shit and Barry takes an elevator to nowhere, I'll be okay
Was he pitching it as a permanent thing? (Permanent for comic books anyway)
Until the next reboot, it sounded like. They were gonna try to make it work for a couple years, at least.
Maybe without him we can finally start getting some Nightwing love.
With most status quo changes, it probably would've/will last as long as it's successful
