A Couple Of Quick Wizard Notes

* the comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com has a summary article up about the entertainment company's recent moves regarding its flagship magazine. The hire of Casey Seijas as managing editor seems to be a particularly positive sign they're going to -- at the very least -- dig in for a while despite the fact the company has bled personnel over the last several months.

* an anonymous letter from a purported Wizard staffer my Wizard sources nonetheless believe to be legitimate is making the rounds, and is the kind of thing that may eventually become discoverable by anyone making a devoted search -- all it requires is that someone out there puts it up. I can't vouch for the letter, so to repeat its claims would seem to me horribly unfair. I will say that the letter cites the abortive launch and then less ambitious relaunch of the group's long-delayed on-line offering as a specific company setback. I think that view is an interesting one. I mention the letter here at all because perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the company's recent history is the amount of on-line talk it's spawned, as friendships forged in the offices have continued on and some of those alumni have taken a very specific interest in the company's overall fate. I can't think of anything in comics like it.
