Superman #700 Variant

June 21, 2010: Catching Up with DC's Co-Publishers - Didio and Lee

ComicBookResources.com has posted the first part of their 2-part interview with Dan Didio and Jim Lee, co-publishers at DC Comics. Here's an excerpt from the interview in which they discuss "Superman #700".

    As publishers, you must have to step back and rely so much on editorial to put together a lot of what you used to do. As you've seen those anniversary issues come across your desk in their final form, have there been elements that were unexpected or different than you'd thought they would be when that plan got put together?

    Didio: From my standpoint, the one thing I saw was the incredible array of artistic talent that they brought to each of the books. With "Batman" #700 it was Tony Daniel, Andy Kubert and now David Finch on that material along with Frank Quitely, there was so much going on in the book, and I loved the look of the story Grant [Morrison] told. I just read "Superman" #700 yesterday, in fact, and we also went to the well there to find a lot of great talent associated with Superman over the years. More importantly, it's a launch spot for the direction the series is going to take under Joe Straczynski's pen. There's a lot of fun stuff happening there. The "Wonder Woman" one is going to be extraordinary, also. We haven't seen the finals yet, but there's a lot of exciting things, from an introduction by Linda Carter to another interesting twist in Wonder Woman's life as penned by Joe Strazynski as well. There might be a couple more interesting surprises waiting there as well.

    Lee: I think both "Superman" and "Wonder Woman" are going to be milestone issues in a number of different ways, and it's going to be a real surprise and treat for the fans when they see those issues.
