As someone who's worked side by side with him, I'll tell anyone who wants to know that his keen wordsmithing is matched by the kind of constant bright idea generation and professionalism that's going to make a publisher somewhere quite happy to have aboard.

I had the privilege of being on a comics podcast panel with Kiel and I was impressed not only with his friendly and easy-going manner but his broad-ranged knowledge and savvy about the industry. Thus fades virtually the last reason to look at Wizard at all, but I'll be following Kiel's writing wherever he goes. Sending good karma to Kiel and I know he will land on his feet.

Well, no. Publishing WIZARD may not be as lucrative as it used to be. Or holding WIZARD WORLD conventions. This sounds more like a classic example of killing the golden goose. ” … you can only come to one conclusion — printing magazines just isn’t as lucrative as it used to be.”
