Wenn ich sage er ist ein dicker Fisch, dann ist er es auch.

On Friday, we heard of John Nee's resignation from DC Comics, and news that he was currently working out his notice. A number of people queried the importance to DC of said announcement, especially in the light of Chuck Dixon being fired off books or rumours of Dan DiDio's future. Well.

John Nee, Senior VP was DC's face to the international business world. He was responsible for originating, networking and brokering all sorts of deals, including videogames, licensed publishing (both from other publishers to DC and from DC to other publishers), dealing with Warner Bros at their Burbank lot as well as oversight of WildStorm and CMX... and anything else he could snap up. He is credited with bringing in millions and millions of dollars to the DC coffers. In fact it's hard to think of anyone living responsible for bringing in more money every year than John Nee right now. One e-mailer described him as "the engine of DC Comics" and fears for DC's long term revenue stream after Nee's departure - qualifying that the deals Nee has put in place could see DC healthy without their US comics making a single cent for years.

Nee was also very much liked at Wildstorm and DC, despite often being the man forced to make hard decisions. I understand that DC corporate are not happy with his decision to leave.

Nee did not respond to inquiries regarding his circumstances.
