Dan Didio Receives Senior VP Title
Two corporate position-type moves, one major and one sort-of major one you think about it. Dan Didio, the man responsible for spearheading a recent surge of fan interest in DC Comics' superhero titles through a combination of marketing and publishing strategies applied one after the other in exhilarating and at times exhausting fashion, has been named Senior Vice President -- Executive Editor, DC Universe. One imagines this is both a reward for a job thus far well done and a way to better label Didio's corporate responsibilities. For their part, Marvel has named film industry veteran Michael Helfant President and COO of Marvel Studios, a decidedly more critical position at the entertainment company with plans to make and release their own movies starting in 2008.
