Oni promotes three as it ramps up
Oni has just announced the promotion of three of its editors in preparation for new creator owned and licensed titles. While all the promotions are well deserved, they might also serve as a preemptive hedge against DC's talent raid on West Coast editorial offices.

Another editor-in-chief fleeing his website as Hoffer leaves The Outhouse
We get most of our mainstream comics news at The Outhouse, which despite being a little rough with the personal jokes, still has a jaundiced view of comis publishing that's closer to the truth than many would suspect. However in a recent spate of comics news site turnovers, The Ourhouse is losing it's editor in chief, Christian Hoffer, who's moving on. Although he cites the usual—life changes, less time—it's clear that the snarky tone of the Outhouse also took its toll:
