DC Comics will now report directly to Josh Silverman, a Marvel veteran who joined Skydance as part of the company's acquisition of Paramount Global earlier this year. Silverman now oversees both the publishing and consumer products divisions at DC, marking the first major organizational shift since Skydance completed its purchase of the storied comic publisher.
Silverman spent years at Marvel before moving to Skydance, where he has been instrumental in building the company's entertainment portfolio. His appointment signals Skydance's intent to integrate DC more tightly into its broader media operations, much as Disney did with Marvel after its 2009 acquisition. The move also suggests DC will lean harder into cross-platform storytelling, connecting comic narratives with film, television, and gaming projects under one executive umbrella.
For collectors, the change matters because Silverman's Marvel background points to potential shifts in how DC approaches collectibility and continuity. Marvel under his tenure emphasized event-driven publishing and aggressive variant-cover programs, strategies that drove short-term sales but sometimes frustrated long-term readers. Whether DC adopts similar tactics or charts a different course will shape the next generation of DC back issues.
The timing is notable. DC has struggled to match Marvel's sales dominance for years, and Skydance's Hollywood infrastructure could give the publisher new tools to compete. If Silverman imports Marvel's playbook, expect more film-adjacent comic launches, tighter coordination between screen and page, and potentially more aggressive IP management. If he pivots, DC could carve out a distinct identity that appeals to collectors tired of Marvel's churn.
Why it matters: This is the first look at how Skydance will run DC after its Paramount acquisition. Silverman's Marvel pedigree suggests DC may adopt similar sales and variant strategies, which could reshape the DC back-issue market and collector behavior for years to come.

Steve Wacker confirms Marvel will bring back legacy numbering Marvel's new Editor-In-Chief Steve Wacker told fans at New York Comic Con that the publisher plans to restore higher issue numbers to its ongoing series, reversing years of frequent renumbering. The move aims to rebuild continuity credibility and appeal to collectors who value long runs. Wacker did not announce a timeline or specify which titles will revert first, but the policy shift marks a departure from the relaunch-heavy strategy Marvel has used since the mid-2010s.

Crossed #0 sells for $300 on eBay while still in stock at $35 A copy of Crossed #0 sold for $300 on eBay even as the same issue remains available from retailers at $35, highlighting the price disconnect that often emerges when buyers chase scarcity signals without checking inventory. The Garth Ennis horror title has maintained collector interest since its 2008 debut, but the markup reflects impulse bidding rather than genuine market clearing. Collectors seeking the issue can still secure it at a fraction of the resale price. Read at source (Bleeding Cool) →
