2020 is a year dominated by editorial changes. Early in the year, Dan DiDio parts ways with the company after 10 years in charge, without an explanation from either party. The year is influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, which sees more drastic changes like the break with Diamond Comic Distributors and the departure of more editorial staff, including editor-in-chief Bob Harras.
The next chapter in Scott Snyder's saga is Dark Nights: Death Metal, which sees the conflict with Perpetua culminate into Multiverse-changing events that birth the Omniverse: everything in the history of DC is canon now.
