Bill Rosemann, Your Man @ Marvel

Steve Wacker, the chin that launched 52 ships

Dead Guy and Fat Guy

And the Rest...

So now all the news seems to have officially broken, and we have some new arrivals in my little corner of the Marvel Universe. So given that I could use an easy subject to write about after this long day, let me tell you about them.

First off, Warren Simons is shifting over from Axel Alonso's group to work in mine (a trade-off for Andy Schmidt, who's migrating to X-land.) Warren's going to be bringing his slate of titles with him, including DAREDEVIL and IRON FIST, and he'll be spearheading a significant launch in early 2007 that people already know about. Here's a hint: it involves a clone.

Bill Rosemann will likewise be joining the Heroes office, and will be inheriting many of the series that Andy Schmidt has been shepherding, most especially the ANNIHILATION aftermath and the cosmic universe as a whole. And as I think about it, there's a sort-of clone in one of the projects Bill's got coming up as well.

Finally, Steve Wacker will be taking his game downtown and relocating to Planet Marvel. We're going to first need to teach Steve about fire and the wheel, but once he's up to speed, he'll be the lead guy when it comes to the other line of books that'll be shifting into my area--one that also involves a clone. Or, to put it another semi-cryptic way, Wacker "Does whatever..."

Molly Lazer and Aubrey Sitterson will remain in their existing roles, semi-clone free. Andy Schmidt is dead to me, clone or otherwise.

And I will continue to be the sworn enemy of goodness and decency who prevents CIVIL WAR from shipping on time, lets Bendis do whatever he likes, whenever he likes on the AVENGERS titles, and destroys FANTASTIC FOUR and IRON MAN by turning their leads into villains. In other words, business as usual.

You have been briefed.

More later.

my my you have been busy!
Okay, that is good but will it ensure that I get the comic I want WHEN I WANT IT?
Just kidding. Looks like a great team and I am sure that the one who must not be named will do great over in the X-office that should not be named, either.

Here's a question for you (and anyone who would like to take a shot at it). What role does the publisher have in this whole thing? Does the publisher get a wide veto or quality control voice? I just never hear about that.

Aubrey Sitterson doesn't have a beard.
And everyone knows beards are where it's at.

Yikes. More clones. Sounds like Steve's gonna be handling Spidey's books? Too cool. Except for the clone part. Heh.

Hey, I took that handsome picture of you and the now dead-to-you Andy. That is a masterpiece of photographic genius, I must say!

Congrats
It sounds like some intriguing happenings will be coming out of Marvel in 2007. I look forward to finding out what they are. Thanks for the updates, Tom. As an Iron Fist fan, I look forward to his return in his own book. And as a professional writer, I look foward to reading some great stories. Stay true to his character and surprise us with some engaging and gripping stories, and I'm sure it'll be a hit. Good luck to everyone mentioned above. --AJW, Canada

Thank God. For a moment I thought this would change! :)

Just kidding. Love your work, Tom. Keep it up and don't mind the player haters. They're just jealous of you!
