February 23, 2020: Dan DiDio Leaves DC Comics
Dan DiDio, the long-serving co-publisher of DC Comics, has left the company.While there's been no official announcement from DC, it's reported that DiDio ended his association with the company this past week, having served as co-publisher alongside Jim Lee since 2010.
DiDio championed the ill-fated "New 52" relaunch of DC Comics in 2011, which, while successful at the time, was eventually replaced by the 2016 "Rebirth" relaunch, which restored many of the elements dropped in the 2011 relaunch.
The reason behind DiDio's departure is unknown at this point in time.
