Stephen Wacker outlines his new mandate for Marvel Comics
New Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Stephen Wacker aims to make comics more accessible by moving away from the reliance on specific jumping-on points. He advocates for individual issues to stand on their own and encourages better internal communication across Marvel's departments.
Wacker believes that readers should feel comfortable picking up any issue based on its cover rather than waiting for a new number one or story arc. He plans to implement a 'de-silo' development strategy to foster earlier collaboration among editorial staff and various Marvel departments. This approach seeks to simplify the reading experience while improving internal workflows. Wacker emphasizes that every comic should provide enough context to hook new readers immediately.
