CBR has confirmed DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan DiDio is no longer with the company.
The original report of DiDio's departure came from The Hollywood Reporter, which did not offer additional details about the circumstances of his departure. Several other outlets later corroborated that website's claims.
DiDio became Vice President, Editorial, at DC in 2002 before later getting promoted to Vice President, Executive Editor. In 2010, he became DC Comics Co-Publisher alongside artist Jim Lee. Outside of his editorial work, DiDio also wrote O.M.A.C., Superboy and several other series. He's currently writing Metal Men for DC. That mini-series is illustrated by Shane Davis and has already published five of its twelve issues. It's unclear if, or how, Metal Men will be affected by DiDio's departure.
As Co-Publisher, DiDio was at the head of DC's "New 52" reboot and "Rebirth" relaunch, which resulted in major changes to the company's continuity. Plans for another relaunch, seemingly tied to Free Comic Book Day's Generation Zero, have been teased recently. It's unclear what this news means for those plans.
DC had no comment on DiDio's departure.
