ICv2.Com: Marvel Announces the Departure of Rothwell and Maglione A kick-ass report from the comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com details the just-announced departure of former President of Worldwide Consumer Products Tim Rothwell and President of Marvel International Bruno Maglione. Unlike the departure of Avi Arad, whose obvious value to the company on the film end of things was compounded by his unstated influence on the comics business, the loss of these two executives hits mainly at one area: marketing. The big difference -- I would say the biggest different -- between Marvel now and all its previous iterations has been its ability to capitalize on their movie success with a series of cash-rich, no-risk deals. Also please note their killer compensation packages.
