Comic Book Talk

So somewhat major news broke yesterday, but I think nobody is 100% sure exactly what it means long term. Whatever the case, Kevin Feige has been named the Chief Creative Officer (CCO) for ALL of Marvel. Not just Marvel Studios, the entire company. He is now the top creative officer when it comes to movies, TV, and yeah, publishing. Marvel Comics is now technically under Kevin Feige's creative oversight.

It will be VERY interesting to see how this impacts the books going forward. Most of the existing hierarchy will remain in place, so Dan Buckley and Joe Quesada (and C.B. Cebulski, I guess, depending on how much power you believe current era Marvel EiCs actually have. I say not much.) are expected to keep running the show on a day to day basis, but they will now answer to Feige creatively. And Rich Johnston was reporting yesterday that even though Feige is a busy guy who can't and won't micromanage publishing, he is expected to either sit in on or have a representative sit it on the creative summits. So he will be a presence one way or the other.

The other big thing is that this unifies Marvel creatively across all mediums. That split that used to exist between TV and Movies that led to all those issues with the ABC and Netflix shows? That's gone now. Everyone is on the same page.
Maybe that's the reason why Rob Liefeld is leaving Marvel... again (good riddance). What a tool. :biglol:
