The comic industry is something that comes in waves, with ebbs and flows that favor certain characters, publishers, and ideas on one day that change quickly the next. Though it may not seem like it, at the end of the day, those decisions start at the top and make their way down, affecting everything in the line. Marvel Comics has confirmed this morning that it’s making big moves to the publisher, one that changes decades of history and another that shifts things after just 9 years. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a staff town hall at Marvel’s New York office in New York confirmed the publishing business is moving from the Big Apple and will move to Burbank, California, alongside Marvel Studios HQ and Disney; but that’s not all.
The second big piece of news that is changing the landscape at Marvel is a change in leadership. After nine years as Editor-in-Chief at Marvel Comics, C.B. Cebulski is being shifted to a new role in the company (apparently moving to Japan to spearhead Marvel’s “push into manga”). As a result, the top job was open, and Marvel has announced that Stephen Wacker will take on the position, becoming the seventh person to hold the title at the company. It’s too early to tell how this change will really alter the Marvel comics landscape, but looking at Wacker’s history should leave fans with some optimism.
