June 23, 2010: Jim Lee and John Rood Talk DC Digital

DC Digital Newsarama.com caught up with DC co-publisher Jim Lee and EVP, Sales, Marketing and Business Development John Rood to talk about the announcement of DC Comics going digital.

    One thing that's occurred to me is that while there's been a lot of growth in the digital comics space in the past year or so, so much of that has been focused solely on Apple products. And while those are really hot items, they aren't the only phones and computers that people own. Do you see DC expanding beyond that market as part and parcell of working with Warner Bros. Digital Distribution?

    Rood: Well, Apple is excited to have Superman, Batman and Green Lantern and the rest of the DC Universe in their mix now, but you are correct that consumers are telling us in numbers that there are many other ways to enjoy digital comics and digital content born of comics. Certainly the Droid and the Kindle and XBox Live - I'm just mentioning a few of dozens [of platforms] that deserve our attention because consumers have given it their attention.
