Marvel Comics executives are reacting to Joe Quesada’s exit from Marvel Comics. Earlier today, Quesada announced his departure from the comic publisher as both artist and Chief Creative Officer. His departure comes after twenty-five celebrated years with the company. Now, his fellow Marvel Comics executives are issuing their own statements on the news.
What Do The Marvel Comics Executives Have to Say?
Dan Buckley, the President of Marvel Entertainment, holds no hard feelings toward Quesada’s decision. Here is what he had to say:
Meanwhile, Editor-in-Chief for Marvel C.B. Cebulski calls himself lucky to have worked with Quesada for so long. In a statement, he shared,
He is excited to work with Joe on new projects in the future.
Finally, Kevin Feige, Marvel Studio’s President and CCO, shared a quick statement on Joe Quesada’s decision. He shares that Quesada’s “countless contributions have helped create characters and stories that will never stop growing and evolving.” He is also grateful for Joe’s creative leadership and collaboration over the years.
So, What’s Next?
While Quesada’s decision to leave Marvel is largely due to a desire to work in other mediums, it is not clear what is next for the artist. However, as Bleedingcool points out, with Quesada and Dan DiDio out at Marvel, is Jim Lee next? Only time will tell.
