Seriously how come nobody else has written that headline yet? It's almost as if nobody in America knows what Formula 1 is! The big news of the day is Marvel's announcement of a New Editor-In-Chief!!
Joe Quesada had the job for ten years, during which time A LOT has gone on - basically all the things we mentioned in yesterday's post. But recently he's been promoted above this rank, to chief creative officer. It's a role which requires him to spend as much time on film, tv, and other media as he does on comics, and as such his ability to oversee Marvel's comics division has been cut down somewhat over the past few months. As such, Axel Alonso will be taking over with due effect this year, moving from his role as leader of the X-Men to leader of the Marvel Universe. Congratulations to Mr Alonso, this makes you perhaps the third most powerful Axel on the face of the Earth.
What might this mean for you, the reader? Well, Alonso is a big fan of the X-Men and Deadpool, so we might start to see some of Joe Quesada's favourites wind down a little while those two franchises get a bit of a push. Already the X-Men are promised to have a strong role in 'Fear Itself', which could signal the start of bigger things for them as a series. Of course, this is wildly inaccurate misinformation which we are spreading - he's a professional, he's not just going to foist his favourites on an unwilling public. We'll just have to see what happens.
In similar triumphant news, Marvel Editor Tom Brevoort no longer exists. Because he is now the Senior Vice-President of Publishing! Congratulations to the new SVPOP, or 'SuV-POP' as we're going to call him from now on. But not to his face.
No, never to his face.
