Jordan D. White, Marvel Editor

My sincere and great thanks to @axelalonsomarv. He has been a great help and champion of good stories over the last bunch of years. I owe him a lot, and will miss working with him.

Congratulations to @CBCebulski–it's been great working with him in the past, and we missed having him around when he popped off to China these last 2 years. It will be great having him back.

Thanks to @axelalonsomarv on a stellar run as EIC.
I'll always be grateful for the trust he had in the spider-team to do big, crazy things like Superior. Can't imagine anyone else taking that leap of faith with us. Will miss you, sir.

Big congrats to @CBCebulski! One of the nicest people in all of comics– with an uncanny ability to make every creator feel special, and to always spot the newest, boldest talents out there. He's gonna make one hell of a great EIC!

Wishing @axelalonsomarv all the best for the future. Axel and @BillRosemann were early boosters of my work and I wouldn't be working on Avengers now without Axel's support.

Congrats to @CBCebulski on his position as Editor-In-Chief of @Marvel Comics! 2018 is going to be a rocket ride.

Hugest congrats to @CBCebulski. When I was just starting out in comics CB was always supportive and quick to offer advice that helped shape my career. I wouldn't be where I am without that and I'm excited to learn more from him.

And thanks, to @axelalonsomarv for helping to shape modern @Marvel into a place where a quirky guy like me could work & a book like Spider-Gwen could exist.

Also, thanks & appreciation to @axelalonsomarv who has been terrific to work with on every level. Always trying cool new things. He took chances on me on projects as diverse as an ESPN Magazine/NBA insert to working with The Weeknd. Can't wait to see what he does next.

— Christos Gage (@Christosgage) November 17, 2017

Excellent choice in @CBCebulski as new Marvel EIC. He loves comics and comic book creators. (And cats.) He really looked out for me on a thing recently (I know, vaguetweeting). One of the true good guys in the business.
