A month ago, Bleeding Cool broke the news that editorial and marketing employees David Gabriel, Timothy Cheng, Lauren Bisom, Devin Lewis, and Darren Shan had been laid off at Marvel Comics as part of the Disney reorganisation that has seen over a thousand people fired. It seems the 15th of May was the last day for a number of them. Timothy Cheng sent out a goodbye message to contacts. And Devin Lewis, who began at Marvel as an intern in 2010, and was promoted to Editor in 2017, on Daredevil, Punisher, Moon Knight, 1776, Spirits Of Violence, as well as the man who commissioned the Daily Bugle strips. posted something more public.

"Not a trick! Not an imaginary tale! Just some bittersweet news to share: my final day as an Editor at Marvel Publishing has come and gone. I started as an Editorial Intern in 2010, and getting to play in the Marvel sandbox for 16 years was the honor of a lifetime. In my time at Marvel, I've been lucky enough to work on some of the company's biggest franchises, but, more importantly, with some of the industry's biggest brains and hearts. From Subterranea to the Blue Area of the Moon and everywhere in between, there is no limit to what the imaginations, keyboards, pencils, inkwells, and palettes of Marvel's mightiest can concoct. Watching them work their magic across each and every page has been a dream come true. Marvel's fans are unlike any others in all of entertainment. Their passion and enthusiasm can be felt in every comic book shop or convention (or letter in the digital mailbag) from coast to coast. So while this chapter at The House of Ideas may have come to a close, I'll still say with my whole heart: #MakeMineMarvel On to the next adventure…!"

With responses from across the comic book industry.

• D.G. Chichester: A privilege to have worked with you, Devin. Thank you, and here's to you making more great stories come to life.
• Zack Rosenberg: End of an era, Devin! Marvel truly lost a massive talent and an incredible editorial eye. Looking back at where we started in the intern cohort, it's been amazing to watch your journey there. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to support whatever comes next—my network is always your network. Cheers to the next adventure!

(and I was lucky enough to work with an amazing lineup of interns, so that was no small feat.) I believe change is always for the best though, and you're gonna impress the hell out of everyone lucky enough to work with you going forward.

• Michael Davenport (Creative Director – Marvel Universe Online Pitch Deck): Sorry to hear it. Ever considered moving to games?

You made that one of the best working experiences I've had still to this day, and I cherish it deeply! You're such a smart, thoughtful, passionate dude. Please reach out if there's ever any way I can help!

Although his boss, Tom Brevoort, Senior VP and Executive Editor, struck a different tone, replying "Wait, you were working here? I thought you were still an intern! Did anybody else know about this?" Read the room, Tom…
