While our collective attention was on the box office struggles of Justice League (it really wasn't that bad guys), Marvel Comics has quietly replaced Axel Alonso as Editor-in-Chief.  He will be immediately succeeded by C.B. Cebulski.  Speaking to the NY Times, Cebulski stated, "It’s crazy. It’s an honor. I’m blown away by the opportunity." He went on to add that he wants to focus on developing Marvel's talent beyond just writers and artists.  "We always hear about the writers and artists, but people forget the inkers and the colorists and the letters.  Each of them is an artist in their own right.

What changes do you hope to see at Marvel following the surprising and swift change at the top? Though still the leading publisher in market-share sales, Marvel had recently come under fire from fans unsatisfied with what some perceived as an overzealous push for diversity, Captain America's turn as HydraCap and questionable Variant cover practices.

From what I've heard, this guy is great. He hates how so many writers disrespects the characters and fans and also seems interested in applying some of the techniques the manga industry has to sell as much as it does.
Can't wait for Monthly Marvel Jump.

@TheArachnidAvenger - Neither Marvel nor DC are doing away with events any time soon. Whether we like it or not we can’t ignore the truth that they are big moneymakers.

Do the marvel events really do make money?

The comic shop I go to always have a bunch of the marvel events in stock.
Heck most marvel titles don’t seem to sell :/

@TheArachnidAvenger - Oh they make money. Disney doesn’t do things that won’t make them money. And comic shops wouldn’t be putting up with Marvel’s crap if they weren’t making them money.

@TheArachnidAvenger - You can't judge sales just by your store alone.
