Devil’s Due Lays Off Three Employees

Comic Book Resources reports that Chicago-based Devil's Due Publishing has laid off Marketing Manager Brian Warmoth and editors Cody DeMatteeis and Mike O'Sullivan. The company's president Joshua Blaylock cites general economic factors in the article, a piece that also notes the company lost its signature GI Joe license to IDW Publishing earlier this year.

A couple of things that are odd about the story is that 1) it's hard to imagine that the general economic climate could so quickly and decisively wound a company unless that company were already hurting, and 2) CBR learned of a third firing a few hours after posting the information on the first two complete with an interview with Blaylock. You'd think Blaylock would have mentioned that. Maybe it had just happened.
