Today Comic Book Resources has announced that Marvel Comics is expected to lay off as many as 15 employees as purely a cost-cutting measure. The lay offs come right on the heels of the lay off of Chief Operating Officer Jim “Ski” Sokolowski two weeks ago.

Although Marvel has made no official announcement of the staff cuts, there have been information leaks and tweets about who has gotten the axe at the company. Editors Alejandro Arbona and Jody LeHeup, assistant editor Rachel Pinnelas, and production artist Damien Lucchese are among the names of those that have been let go – with more to come.
