Over at Newsarama, they’re reporting that editor Steve Wacker has left DC for Marvel.  This is the guy who’s been at least partly responsible for keeping 52 on schedule when Marvel has been having their own issues lately.

That’s interesting.  I long for the day when comics come out on time.

Now over at Newsarama, Quesada is confirming that Wacker is going over to Marvel.

Now I like on-time comics but when we start talking about editorial moves, does that mean it’s a slow news day?  I’m not running out to buy a book just because Steve Wacker is editing it.

You’re crazy for not running out and buying a book because Wacker is on it...he’s edited such books as...well there is....um...eh...who really cares.  You’re right.  Slow news day.

Actually, putting out a weekly book in this day and age is a rough ride. Having him prepare his successor to where there’s been no hint of a delay...that’s pretty much an editor’s dream. 52 just broke the halfway mark and there’s been no suggestion of a delay. Marvel got themselves a find. I can’t say I’m not angry, tho. DC needs good editors.
