Jim Lee Addresses Public Following DC Management Shake-Up

Superstar artist, DC executive, and Marvel variant cover artist Jim Lee took to Twitter to address the public following his promotion to Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment after Geoff “Jeff” Johns stepped down to focus on writing. Lee, as previously reported, will continue as co-publisher… actually, make that publisher… of DC Comics as well. With all the new work on his plate, of course, Lee still hasn’t had time to learn how to properly do a Twitter thread, but check out what he had to say anyway:

Thank you all for the kind words of support and encouragement the past two days! Working at DC has been a dream job (20 years counting!) and nothing is more thrilling than new challenges and opportunities. (1/5)

I also want to acknowledge and thank Diane Nelson for her many years of leadership and for being a friend, inspiration and mentor. She’s the one who brought me into the newly formed DC Entertainment as co-publisher 9 years ago and I literally wouldn’t be here without her.(3/5)

Last but definitely not least, I continue on as Publisher alongside Dan DiDio. No one has more passion or energy for what we do than Dan and the events we have planned for this year and into the future are gonna be just astounding. (4/5)
