In a somewhat surprising turn of events, DC Comics has named former Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief and WildStorm Contributing Editor Bob Harras as it’s new Editor-in-Chief and VP.

Those who’ve been following comics for a while might remember Harras’ time at Marvel where he worked on The Avengers from 1992-1995 before serving as Editor-in-Chief back in the mid to later part of the 90s, prior to the arrival of current EiC Joe Quesada, which featured some pretty notable runs for Captain America and Deadpool to name a few. Harras also played a rather large part in the ill-fated Clone Saga that took over the entirety of the Spider-Man line from 1994-1996.
