Line 8:
Perhaps the ultimate [[Scapegoat Creator]], Didio has so many [[Hatedom|people who dislike him]] that a rumor that he was going to get fired from his position ran like wildfire in 2008, but it turned to be false.
 
Writer [[Mark Waid]] has stated that Didio hated how the series [[Fifty Two|52]] turned out, and that [[Countdown to Final Crisis]] was the way it should have been. One of the few cases where Didio was flat-out wrong, as 52 was a hit while Countdown wasn't.
 
It must be admitted however that DC Comics has sold well a lot of the series he has had developed under his guidance of the company, and many professionals speak well of him personally.
Line 19:
* The [[Metal Men]] segment of ''[[Wednesday Comics]]''.
* A ''Weird Western Tales'' special that tied into ''[[Blackest Night]]''.
* A run on ''[[Batman and Thethe Outsiders|The Outsiders]]''.
* ''[[OMAC]]'' with Keith Giffen for DC's "The New 52"; one of the first books cancelled from the relaunch.
 
Before working at DC Comics, Dan was an executive at [[Mainframe Entertainment]], overseeing the third season of ''[[Beast Wars (Animation)|Beast Wars]]'', as well as the entirety of ''[[Beast Machines (Animation)|Beast Machines]]'', where he told [[Marv Wolfman]] (original series outliner) to do as he pleased with Generation1 continuity, and then told story editors [[Bob Skir]] and [[Marty Isenberg]] to do ignore everything that came before them as "Beast Wars was too continuity-heavy". Between this and the big DCU reboot, one has to wonder just what continuity did to him as a child.
 
There are rumors that he was fired from Mainframe after selling their rights to [[Scary Godmother]] for [http://reboot.wikia.com/wiki/Dan_DiDio one Canadian dollar], but the claim is unsourced and is more than likely false.
