ICYMI: Firings, Quittings and Valnet Fallout at Comic Book Resources cbr
Once upon a time, a very long time ago, I was momentarily a Big Thing at Comic Book Resources. Headhunted by CBR founder's Silver Bullet Comics where I wrote All The Rage comic book gossip column ,, and it made my name. Bleeding Cool wouldn't exist without it.
And CBR is in trouble again, with owners Valnet imposing greater demands on contributors and seemingly firing those who try and stand up for writers, Popverseafter 18 years with CBR and senior features editorafter eight years. And quoted George Edelman, Valnet Inc.
"The only reason I stayed at CBR so long was because of people like @ND_Steve and @jcbaggee, so the idea that they were fired to create"a more positive culture" is a f-cking joke. Valnet got rid of them because they actually stood up for their coworkers and employees. I could not be more furious on their behalf right now — to lay them off with no warning and then to malign them after the fact… Absolutely disgusting. Just toxic.
Bleeding Cool has come across gossip that some of these issues were about an attempt to switch to AI story generation, but I understand that this is false and it is company policy not to accept any such material. "We're told that those removed were actually standing up for writers, with Swiderski, Gerding and Baggett pushing back against more changes along the lines of what Puc reported. Writers were being asked to do more work while shrinking the Pay Per View rates.
