DC's New Trinity: The Twitter Reactions!

So, it looks like the DC U as we know it has a brand new ‘Trinity’ as of this morning. Dan DiDio and Jim Lee will be Co-Publishers of DC Comics. Geoff Johns will be Chief Creative Officer. (And  John Rood, and Patrick Caldon will be Executive Partners, but seeing as that would ruin my whole Trinity allusion we’ll just pretend like this doesn’t really matter.)
So We decided to see how the twitterverse reacted and so far it’s pretty positive.  Geoff Johns has a polarizing effect on many readers – I haven’t read many reviews that weren’t either in the deep, deep love or seething hatred for his writing, but by all accounts the guy is known for being one of the nicest guys in the industry.
Jim Lee – well, what can we say about Jim Lee. I believe Rich Johnson over at Bleeding Cool hinted at him earlier for this position, but seeing that I can’t find a link or mention of it anywhere, I’ll just imagine I dreamt it all… which makes sense as I often dream of Jim Lee’s art.
And finally… Dan Didio… he’s considered by many to be a villain, but his strong hand has guided many of DC’s best and most experimental years. Love him or hate him he’s responsible for 52, All-Star Superman, The One Year Later Jump (which gave us some pretty fun stories) and Final Crisis.
