Mike Marts, formerly Group Editor of the Batman titles at DC (see "
Harras Names Team"), has moved to Marvel and will be taking the role of Executive Editor with undisclosed portfolio, Marvel announced today. During his last stint at Marvel, Marts managed
X-Men titles including
New and
Astonishing as a Senior Editor, so he’s taken a step up in position with his new role as an Executive Editor.
Marts spent roughly eight years at DC; he moved there in 2006. His previous tenure at Marvel was over ten years, from 1996 to 2006.
Marts has a long history of editing high profile books, so this is the move of a highly experienced veteran between the Big Two.
