PETER TOMASI EXCLUSIVE WRITER FOR DC COMICS

DC Comics announced on Thursday that long-time editor Peter Tomasi has signed an exclusive contract to write for the publisher and will be leaving his position as senior editor.

Tomasi had been an editor with DC Comics for 15 years, having edited such titles, including Garth Ennis' Hitman, James Robinson's Starman, Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers and Paul Dini's recent run on Detective Comics. Tomasi was currently the editor of Batman, Detective Comics, Green Lantern, Green Lantern Corps, Robin and Nightwing.

"To say it's a bit strange leaving a place you've enjoyed working at -- and grew up in for that matter -- for almost 15 years would be an understatement," Tomasi said. "It's still hard to imagine not coming into the office on a daily basis and putting together a comic book from scratch. I've said it before in interviews over the years, but a job where you can produce something tangible for someone's enjoyment is simply a great thing and truly satisfying in so many ways. I am going to miss every facet of it.²

Tomasi will write DCU monthly titles and several other projects, including an already-announced Black Adam mini-series, starting later this year. Tomasi has written for DC in the past on such titles as JSA, The Outsiders and Steel. He and also created the original graphic novel, Light Brigade.

Tomasi's original screenplay, House of Penance (working title), a horror/drama about the Winchester Mystery House, was purchased by Andrew Lauren Productions, the production company behind the Academy Award-nominated film, The Squid and the Whale.

"We're sorry to lose an editor of Peter's ability,² said Dan DiDio, senior vice-president and executive editor -- DCU. "But at the same time, we're thrilled to welcome a writer of his caliber to DC."

HEROES: "STRING THEORY"

NBC has released 13 images from "String Theory," the Monday, April 30 episode of Heroes.

Here's how the network describes the episode:

"Thrown five years in the future, Hiro and Ando discover that people with extraordinary abilities are not only widely known about -- after the destruction of New York City and the deaths of millions -- but are being registered, imprisoned, hunted and even killed as 'terrorists.'

"As the President takes his first step towards a 'final solution,' the pair get swept up in what could be the Heroes' final battle and encounter a range of new and darkly familiar faces. If they survive the experience, can they still get back to the present and save the world?"
