Axel Alonso Takes Over X-Office

Axel Alonso will take over for Mike Marts as Group Editor on Marvel's lucrative series of X-Men titles, according to a report posted at the comics news site Newsarama. According to the piece, Alonso, one of the key hires early in the Marvel revival period following the late-'90s bankruptcy, will hold this position in addition to an Executive Editor title, group editorships on both the Marvel Knights and MAX lines, and an editor slot on a series of other titles. The X-Men books make up one of the core money-making areas for the company's publishing arm, and as of right now the office could probably use some new blood as much as any time in the last 15 years. I will link to whatever Alonso interview appears on Thursday at Newsarama via this sentence.

In other industry personnel news, Slave Labor reports that Deb Moskyok has left the company after four and a half years. Also, this site linked to Dustin Harbin's site last weekend; this was occasioned by an e-mail announcing his amicable departure from retailer Heroes Aren't Hard To Find after a long terms of employment there.
