This calendar week there was a all unsubstantiated , wildly shared article aboutMarvelpurchasingDC Comics(DC Publishing ) . Despite the article being completely unfounded and lack any viable sources , the rumor diffuse like wildfire , especially observe the picnic of Dan DiDio at DC . Sadly , DC drumhead publisher Jim Lee had to plow the rumors at C2E2 , debunk them as nonsense .
DiDio had been with DC for more than a decadebefore suddenly impart the position earlier this month . The news show was quite surprising , peculiarly as DC Comics had heavy promoted the coming 5 G flaccid - reboot event that was spearhead by DiDio . The news served as a jumping-off point for certain contemptible " news " land site ( and I ’m putting that lightly ) to throw up out a totally unbelievable story about AT&T and Warner Brothers ( who DC Comics is a subsidiary of ) view license their characters to Marvel . The rumour was as dumb as it was fake . But , it spread like a disease .

Lee , who ’s now the only publisher and is the Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics , spoke at his own Spotlight Panel at C2E2 in Chicago on Saturday . While he discuss DC Comics ' hereafter and finally addressed DiDio ’s departure , he also made trusted to throw H2O on the fire that DC was being buy by Marvel ( quotation from Newsarama ) .
To address some of the stuff that is out there , there ’s rumors … speculation … I would n’t put any credence into it . DC has been around for 85 age , and we ’ll be around for another 85 years . I hope to be doing this board in 85 years .
frankly , the fact Lee had to say anything at all is patently nonsensical . Logistically , why would it make any horse sense for DC Comics to licence their case to Marvel ? We ’re not talking a thwartwise - company crossover or something on a small shell . We ’re talking about the possibility an exceedingly profitable company like DC Comics who ’s characters bring in million through licensing like funnies , motion picture , action figures , playscript , you name it , betray it to Marvel - its chief rival . It ’s folderal . On the flip side , why would Marvel even think doing that deal ? Spoiler warning signal : They would n’t .
The bastard rumor was reported as licit and made the circle causing intelligible confusion to those who are n’t well - verse in the industry and could n’t see just how ridiculous that would actually be . Kudos to Lee for address it , but there ’s no Sojourner Truth to the rumor at all . Marvel is n’t buying DC Comics . DC Comicsisn’t selling their characters to Marvel . allow ’s kill that rumor for good , yes ?
