IDW has announced it has hired Andy Schmidt as the new Senior Editor for the company.
Andy started his comics editing career with Marvel Comics under Executive Editor Tom Brevoort, where he quickly rose from assistant to full editor helming such projects as X-Men, X-Factor, Ms. Marvel, and Annihilation. He left Marvel in June of last year to launch his own successful comics-teaching business called Comics Experience and started freelance writing. His combination of skills makes him the perfect candidate for the Senior Editor position at IDW.
“What started as a casual conversation between Chris Ryall and myself about how we approach editing quickly became a job interview. My background is in editing, writing and teaching and Chris liked that combo—thought I’d bring a different voice to my projects,†Schmidt stated in a prepared statement. “Chris introduced me to Ted Adams and the three of us hit it off. IDW is in the storytelling business and has a rich history of exceptional comics created by exceptional creators. I’m glad to be a part of it!â€

NO ONE KNOWS WHO HE IS; NO ONE CARES EITHER. NON NEWS OF THE CENTURY!
OK, you can delete my comment now. Again. God this site is heavily censored! No conflicting thoughts allowed here! Your motto: All stories must be hailed as fantastic, or do not bother commenting.
You know what Jeff … uh I mean Robby Reed (i.p. address matches previous comments), I’m going to let your rude comment through for several reasons.
1) We normally don’t censor comments unless they are direct attacks with no redeeming value. Had you given reasons why this is a non-story it would have gone through without being removed. And it should be noted, over the last two years, we’ve had to remove a total of five posts. So your claims of “heavily censored” is highly false.
2) All first time commentors are put in an approval process to prevent spam. Had you posted your comment with your Robby Reed account (previous approved) your comment would have made it through the approval process.
3) While YOU robby reed may not be interested in this news, it might be important to somone, hence it being posted. And apparently many other sites thought this story was newsworthy, as it appears on nearly every other comic-related website today.
4) Finally, Jeff/Robby Reed, if you don’t like what we are doing here (most if not all of your comments are highly negative), why do you bother coming back? Simply remove us from your daily stops and you’ll have nothing to worry about. Problem solved.
Cheers

Maybe ol’ Robby lost the job to Andy Schmidt.
DrStrangeCubicle: If you think his vitriol is bad here, you should check out his review of Final Crisis over at his site.
Wait, I know who Andy Schmidt is.
Ha! I have successfully argued against the first poster’s main point!
I feel smart.
