Condon, who came to DC from Delacorte Press (where Kurt Vonnegut was among his authors), explains his role as Managing Editor: scheduling, contract negotiation, liaison between editorial and sales/production, and vetting new proposals including graphic novel pitches from mainstream book-world agents and authors. He reflects on his surprise at how exciting and professionally serious the comics industry is compared to trade publishing, and expresses optimism that DC's fiftieth anniversary year and upcoming projects (he mentions Ronin) signal a creatively bright future. He keeps deliberate distance from story conferences, describing himself as "the one who carries the whip" on scheduling.
