DiDio teases 'Adventure Comics' writers

DCU executive editor Dan DiDio has hinted at the identity of the writers who will take over Adventure Comics for one story arc following Geoff Johns's departure.

Following the two-issue arc, the title will penned by former DC president and publisher Paul Levitz.

"We haven't announced the artist," DiDio told Newsarama. "But as for who will be handling Adventure Comics between when Geoff leaves and Paul joins, it's actually going to be handled by a few people involved in the Superman writing team, because those stories will tie directly into the events in Superman and Action Comics."

When asked if that meant writers Greg Rucka, Sterling Gates and James Robinson would be taking over the title, DiDio said: "Sort of. Mostly. You'll hear about it soon."

Johns is leaving Adventure Comics to write the new ongoing Flash title that will follow on from his The Flash: Rebirth miniseries.
