CRISIS MANAGEMENT
5 Questions With: Dan Didio (Part One)
November 28, 2005
When you need some Crisis Management, there's only one man you can go to. DC Comics head honcho Dan Didio, sat down with Wizard recently to talk Infinite Crisis, the need for a cohesive DC Universe and the biggest surprise so far from one of the biggest event of 2005.
INFINITE CRISIS #1 (Oct 2005)
I'm a big fan of how you're trying to bring about a cohesive DC Universe with Infinite Crisis. Did you feel the need to create an event that did this?
The hard part for DC and the strength of DC in a lot of ways, was that it was multiple companies. You could look at Fuacett characters, Charlton Characters, DC characters…they didn’t come form the same source so every time we tried to bring them into the same world, they never really clicked and felt like they really belonged with each other.What we knew we wanted to do was create an event, a story that not only found all these characters interacting in the same world, but to create a backdrop behind that world so it felt like it was all the same. The primary goal behind the four mini-series [leading up to Infinite Crisis] was to show what the DC Universe looked like. That there was something going on that affected everyone.
