Missed It: Archaia Names New Publisher

Archaia Entertainment has announced the hiring of Mike Kennedy to their publisher position, where he'll work on the growing comics company's production and marketing and report to the company's CEO. Kennedy has roots in comics and in the videogame industry. The linked-to article at the hobby business news and analysis site ICv2.com suggests that the move is related to the round of investment the company received in March. This makes a certain amount of sense as the announced goals for that money were to build digital and overall branding, which seems like something Kennedy could help them do. Archaia specializes in idiosyncratic adventure series such as Artesia and European imports The Killer and The Secret History, and has spent the last few years building up a market presence through an aggressive comics-to-trade release schedule and something of an across-the-line publication design.
