DC Comics has announced that Eddie Berganza, the editor of such DC Universe titles as Wonder Woman, Young Justice, and the Superman books, has been promoted to Group Editor.

“Eddie has moved steadily up the ranks with his innovative taste and sheer ability to produce a lot of work with a smile on his face,” said DC Vice President - Executive Editor, DC Universe Mike Carlin. “His most recent successes involve steering the lives of the denizens of Metropolis through the popular line of DC's Superman comics, a tough job that Eddie handles while supervising a team of editors and still doing a full load of his own side-projects, as well.”

Berganza first joined DC in 1991 as an editorial clerk, and moved into the DC Universe editorial group as an assistant editor before being promoted to editor in 1994, and senior editor in 2000. Berganza's future projects include the 12-issue maxi-series, Superman: Metropolis (#1, DEC020753D), and ongoing Superman/Batman, Outsiders, and Teen Titans titles.
