In the wake of a larger restructuring under Disney, Marvel Comics has a new editorial boss: Stephen Wacker. Wacker replaces outgoing editor-in-chief C.B. Cebulski, who took the job in 2017. Previously, Wacker has worked as an editor at Marvel before earning Emmy nominations for executive producing the Rocket & Groot animated show.
In a company-wide message obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Brad Winderbaum, the head of television, animation, comics and franchise for Marvel, and David Abdo, the general manager of comics and franchise, wrote to their colleagues, "longtime Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski will be stepping into a new role overseeing APAC-originated graphic fiction and manga, based in Japan. This opportunity reflects both C.B.’s passion for the medium and the tremendous potential we see in that space. We’re deeply grateful for his leadership, partnership, and stewardship of the Marvel line over the past decade and are fortunate to have him spearheading this new endeavor for us."
Both Winderbaum and Abdo stepped into positions overseeing Marvel Comics in May of this year, picking up the duties of longtime Marvel president Dan Buckley. And it appears that this shuffling of Marvel personnel is part of a larger effort to shake up the company over the course of next year. The Hollywood Reporter also noted that the House of Ideas is relocating its offices from New York City to Burbank, California in an effort to better integrate comics with other divisions of Marvel Entertainment.
“This move will position the team beside our broader creative organization and create opportunities for collaboration across both Marvel and Disney. Bringing our comics, film, television, and other creative teams together will help us learn from one another, collaborate, and build on the strengths that make Marvel the true House of Ideas," Winderbaum and Abdo's letter stated.
