Shake-up in the X-Office

[Mahes]

If true, then a bit of a surprise given how short this stint was.

Wishful thinking but it'd be nice to get Mark Doyle due to what he has helped do for DC's bat books.

In any event, Katie Kubert could just be moved up to fill in the gap.

[RLAAMJR.]

Well, given that Hickman is also leaving, so maybe it's not likely that is going to be a good bone..................................



If that happens, then the X-board is going to turn nuclear.............................

There might be no X-Boards in the near future but just have all the X-related threads moved to the Marvel Comics board and then they will make another board called Avengers board.

[ImprobableQuestion]

Could be Bendis...he might take over after SW.

Might be why he left his position as writer...maybe he's ready to move up the ranks in the company.

No please not him.

That wouldn't be a bad idea. He's more of a conceptual guy than a writer-type guy anymore. Bendis ideas plus someone else's voice could be a winning combo.

Wouldn't mind Katie Kubert - she totally has the X-experience.

Or maybe Jennifer M. Smith, she's already a deputy X-editor (and admittedly, she could be very good for characters I like. )

Well, i think that the X-boards are going to continue existing because it's a containment zone, and i dont think that CBR would want that things like the CompleX undergoes metástasis, isnt it ?.

Forgot about her! My bad. But that would work out as well. Just promote internally and find new deputy editors.

katie kubert prides herself on not being that much of a fan of comics. to me, she would be a horrible choice.

Well, he left editing Batman at DC for this job...one of the most sought after positions in the industry. One does not simply leave Batman to fill-in...

Maybe he just did not want to switch coasts and did some X-Men work until he could find something better.

Maybe he just did not want to switch coasts and did some X-Men work until he could find something better.

Maybe, anything is possible - just seems fishy, you know? Just didn't seem like a short term thing - he seemed genuinely excited by the job when he first joined. It looked like he wated to make some changes - tighten up the editing side of things. This is one of the most sought after jobs in the industry.

It'll be interesting to see where he goes next. Back to DC might be an option. Image? IDW? Both might give him more freedom as an editor, but the pay will definitely be less.

[RLAAMJR.]

Maybe somebody can tweet him why he resigned?

No, that's rude.

There will be an announcement from Marvel soon enough anyway.

[Gray Lensman]

That wouldn't be a bad idea. He's more of a conceptual guy than a writer-type guy anymore. Bendis ideas plus someone else's voice could be a winning combo.

I agree. Bendis came up with some incredible ideas during his run, the problem was the follow through on them. Which to me, made things worse. Seeing the squandered potential was more disheartening than just seeing something mediocre all the way through.

[Beezzi]

No, that's rude.

Exactly and he most likely has a non-disclosure clause in his contract.

100% agreed!

And I actually forgot about Katie till you mentioned her.

Hopefully they'll promote internally...there's some great, young deputy editors waiting for a shot in the wings. Marvel has amazing talent, they just have to use it.

Why would it be rude? It's just a question.

Well, maybe he just doesnt want to talk about it.
