Jim Demonakos Leaves Image Comics; Joachim Regout Leaves Slots at Glenat

* Like most people in some press capacity in comics, I received an e-mail Monday evening from Jim Demonakos at Image saying he was leaving his position as the company's Public Relations and Marketing co-ordinator, to be replaced by former Xeric winner Mark Britt. I was way too intimidated by the standard disclaimer about use to report on this in the blog here (plus I forgot). Comic Foundry spilled the beans.

* Editor Joachim Regout, the head of Editions Caravelle and the man behind the imprint Paris-Bruxelles has left Glenat, and will now devote his time to the kids-focused Asteline magazine and related efforts on-line and in print. Leaving a high-profile, solidly-backed position for a project of his own in an increasingly calcified market will likely gain Regout many admirers if it succeeds.

I think both Paris-Bruxelles and Editions Caravelle were high-profile, still-new efforts -- Paris-Bruxelles designed to reintroduce traditional books into the market, Caravelle a themed publisher of new series -- making this a bit more interesting than the standard departure, but I'm kind of flailing in the dark on that one.
