Stephen Wacker is leaving Marvel after a 15-year run with the company. Wacker announced that he was leaving Marvel earlier today on Twitter for a position at an unnamed company. “Marvel is in stronger shape than ever due to stories told by the best storytellers and creators in all of recorded history (well aside from Aesop, I guess),” Wacker wrote on Twitter. “All of which were shepherded by someone smart on the inside who knew enough to recognize talent. And over the past 15 years, I’ve been lucky to have a front row seat for the rise of a real Marvel Age that fans like me (and you) used to just dream about. But now I’ve got seats in a new section … and the view is gonna be even better.”
After an Incredible, Amazing, & Fantastic decade and a half (that’s 15 years for any Mets fans who might be having trouble with the math), I am leaving Marvel for a new opportunity.
