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.
Since it was released last week, The Avengers movie trailer has been seen by just about everyone who isn’t living under a rock, and I’m sure half of those rock dwellers have seen it also. Some have seen it often enough to give it the swede treatment.
Along come a group of people – Roque Rodriguez, Brandon Carrera, Bryan Harley, Travis Sheridan, Tommy Brand, Chloe Tatro, John Rios, and Andrew Toschi – who decide they’re going to recreate the original trailer, albeit on a smaller budget.
If, for some reason, you haven’t seen The Avengers trailer, you can watch it below.
