Another Veteran Staffer Leaves Wizard?

I'm hearing from a couple of places that Steve Blackwell may have been let go by Wizard Entertainment. His most recent title was creative director, and if forced into it I would hazard a guess that he was at this point one of the publishing company's half-dozen or so longest-tenured employees. I believe that Blackwell rose through the company on the general design end of things, and it looks like that one of his last major contributions to the company was an interior design on the flagship title that went into effect in recent months.
If true, this is yet another employee let go in a massive, long-term recalibration at the company up and down that has knocked fruit to the ground on several branches of the employment tree. Also, since I can't find anyone to say a single thing about Blackwell that indicates he wasn't at all times very well liked, this would seem to emphsize to an even greater degree the potential cost-cutting aspects of such a departure.
