October 27, 2009: Dan DiDio Talks "Adventure Comics", Annuals and More

Newsarama's "10 Answers and One Question" with Dan DiDio touches on "Adventure Comics", "Superman/Batman Annual" and how Paul Levitz fits into it all...

    Any news yet about who will be doing "Adventure Comics" after Geoff Johns and before Levitz? And who is doing art for Levitz?

    DiDio: We haven't announced the artist, but as for who will be handling "Adventure Comics" between when Geoff leaves and Paul joins, it's actually going to be handled by a few people involved in the Superman writing team, because those stories will tie directly into the events in "Superman" and "Action Comics".

    Nrama: Did you say "few" people? Or "two" people?

    DiDio: It'll be handled by the writers who are currently involved in the "Superman", "Action" and "Supergirl" storylines.

    Nrama: So that means Greg Rucka, Sterling Gates and James Robinson, right?

    DiDio: Sort of. Mostly. You'll hear about it soon.

    But I can tell you something about what Paul's doing. Paul will actually be working on three annuals for DC Comics in the beginning of next year. The first one up will be a "Superman/Batman Annual" that Paul is writing, which we're very excited about because it features very interesting characters from beyond, so to speak.

    Paul is also going to be writing an "Adventure Comics Annual" which will be setting up much of his storyline in "Adventure Comics". So really, his run kicks off with the "Adventure Comics Annual" first, then it goes into "Adventure Comics" itself. And as we realized by chatting, I believe this is the first "Adventure Comics Annual" ever, which I believe is also very exciting that Paul gets to do that.

    The third one, I don't want to announce just yet, because we're a little too far out.
