Wacker Walks From DC

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006--by Stephen Schleicher

Newsarama is reporting that Stephen Wacker has left DC and may be headed to Marvel. Wacker had been editing several titles at DC including the popular 52, Jonah Hex, JSA, and Legion of Super-Heroes. Obviously something is up, as Dan Didio, Executive Editor at DC, says he will make a statement next week instead of today.

Wizard Entertainment spoke with Stephen Wacker today on the news.

“I tendered my resignation with DC today,” said Wacker. “I’m quitting DC to go edit comics at Marvel.”

Yet another in the summer long flip flop in employees moving from one company to another. Marvel editor Mike Marts is moving to DC, while Bill Rosemann is moving from DC to Marvel.
