It’s the end of the year and people are being promoted – and it’s all very well deserved!
• At DC, Andrea Shea has been promoted to editor in the Multiverse group, as she tweeted. She also explained that “It’s kind of a nebulous title, so worth clarifying that the Multiverse Group houses Black Label, imprints like Hill House or Milestone, and the occasional DCU limited or special project. Which is why I love Multiverse—it allows me to build and flex all kinds of editorial muscles!”
