COMICS: Dan DiDio Reveals Plans For DC's First Big "New 52" Crossover
The co-publisher of DC Comics confirms that the first crossover for the company's "New 52" is in the works, and is planned to be released in the latter half of next year. More details after the jump.
In an interview with ICv2, DC Comics co-publisher Dan DiDio reveals that the comic book company is planning their first big crossover for "The New 52". He was asked about the company's future plans (including the zero issues that will be in stores this September) when he said that the first New 52 crossover will be released in the latter half of 2013. He also stated that fans should expect to see a "better continuity" between DC's comic lines.
"We have a couple of plans. I'd love to be able to celebrate the anniversary of "The New 52" with something that feels so special and something that unifies the line thematically (maybe not story-wise). We're leading to probably our first crossover event in the latter half of next year, but you're going to see a better continuity developing through the line. Hopefully through the zeroes, we'll bring some clarity to our characters. There might be some questions on how they came to be five years in "The New 52," so to speak. What I'm hoping is everyone buys in to what we're trying to do and it re-introduces people to some of the books they might have sampled, may have gotten away from, and they come back to see what's happening with the zeroes. Because it's not just about giving a snapshot or a snippet of what they are in the past, but also setting up stories for the future."
