Not much of a surprise other than it took them this long to do it.....

It sounds like it's the movie marketing that got canned, probably because Disney sees them as being redundant with their own marketing department.

But I agree with you Bob, their comic marketing needs to change!

My bad, I was looking more at the title of the article itself which makes it sound like the whole marketing department was canned.

I'm going to admit I didn't see this coming. Marvel's making pretty good dough at the box office. This must mean something else than I think.
