The Lord of the Undead was unveiled as the controller of death in the DC Universe in a preview solicitation for Blackest Night #5.
That issue’s cover also appeared on the front of last month’s edition of Previews, upsetting some fans.
DiDio told Newsarama: "In my mind, showing Nekron might be deemed a spoiler to the person who sees his face and says, 'Oh, I know he's part of the story now'.
"But unless you know how he's used, what he does, and what his effect on the rest of the story is, I don't think we're spoiling anything."
He added that there was a need to release "as much information as possible" in order to drum up excitement and interest among fans and encourage more orders from retailers.
Blackest Night #4 is out October 28, with the fifth instalment following in November.
