The corporate changes at Marvel continue with the news that Ruwan Jayatilleke has been named as Senior Vice President, Associate Publisher for the company. This is something of a sideways promotion for Jayatilleke, who had previously been SVP Development & Planning, and before that SVP Strategic Development-Acquisitions & Licensing. Given the title, presumably Jayatilleke will be working alongside Tom Brevoort, who is Marvel’s SVP Publishing, a move potentially made to allow Brevoort more time to be directly involved in editing again following the recent layoffs in the last few weeks.

Once again, Graeme you get the story wrong. The facts are off here. The presumption that this is a sideways promotion Ruwan Jayatilleke or this affects Tom Brevoort is off-base and incorrect. The only thing sideways here is you considering yourself a journalist or beyond that a competent writer.

Oh my. More abuse for Graeme.
