Jonah Weiland Sells Comic Book Resources

PR here. I'll take a second look at that later on when the dust settles to see if there's anything weird and/or interesting that should be analyzed -- it's a brand new baby of a story, though, in the announcement stage. Weiland declared in a concurrent Facebook post it was time to move on after 21 years, which makes it sound like it's a get-out-from-under sale and not just a bring-in-new-money deal.

I've had a really cordial relationship with Jonah over the years, one that I valued. I thought he did a professional, caring, responsible job with what at times has to be a high-annoyance, high-pressure gig. Weiland never said so but I know of two past publications that had that top-of-industry mantle where the pressure by big publishers to run the news a certain way for their support to continue and deepen proved deeply unpleasant.

I never thought of Jonah as a lifer, so I'm glad to see him off and pursuing new opportunities. Then again, he's a Clippers fan, and who knows what the hell people like that are thinking ever.

Good luck, Jonah, and thanks. You can have your intern leave the keys to your San Diego Con boat in my mailbox.
