Boom! Makes Gagnon Managing Editor

According to a press release picked up by several news outlets including the comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com, Boom has added the now-former Meltdown Comics purchasing manager Matt Gagnon to its staff as Managing Editor. Gagnon will report to Editor-In-Chief Mark Waid. This is an interesting hire in that Gagnon was a well-respected purchasing manager, and you don't see a ton of people crossing over from comics retail into comics editorial. In the article linked to above, Waid compares Gagnon to the fictional film character Michael Clayton, by which he probably means an effective fix-it man with an ethical core instead of a burnt-out husk of a man struggling with various life and vocational decisions.
