Growing Pains, Not Starring Kirk Cameron

(I'm only posting a new entry because my sister's making me. Leave me alone now, Cal.)
So I got moved to a different office.
I've worked under Mark Paniccia for the (over) three years I've worked here at Marvel, and he's the absolute best boss I could've ever had, because all he wants to do is make good comics and tell fun stories.
But the higher-ups decided to make a change, and so I'm sittin' here in Mr. Ralph Macchio's office, which isn't a bad place to land. I respect the ever-livin' heck out of Ralph and am amazed at how long he's been at Marvel. Some of the greatest stories ever told here were released on his watch. Don't think I could've moved anywhere else in the office (well...maybe the mailroom. I'm good at FedEx.)
So I've taken the all-ages books with me (the Marvel Adventures line, Power Pack, X-Men and Wolverine First Class, Free Comic Book Day, Spidey Loves MJ, Franklin Richards, Mini Marvels, this new Super Hero Squad thing), and I'm the Custom Book editor (these are books that companies pay for Marvel to get makd. And there's a lot of them. And apparently they make a LOT of money. And they tell me I may get to do a 3-part miniseries on British knife crime. It'll be a love story).
And I'm going to be working on the Marvel Illustrated line (which I LOVE) and the Stephen King books.
(WHAT NATE KNOWS ABOUT STEPHEN KING BOOKS: Shawshank Redemption was based on something that Stephen King wrote. I think.)
Oh, and I'm doing a bunch of digital books, and X Men Noir, and a What If, and...I dunno, it's like 55 books or so.
To be honest, all of these changes would have affected me much more if football weren't on, but the fact that Ole Miss managed to whomp down Florida last weekend kinda put the whole comic book thing on the back burner. So I'll do my best to keep blogging about the experience of moving from one office to the other, all while being 95% focused on college football.
Meantime, here's a lil' art.
WELCOME ...and may I be one of the first on these boards to officially welcome you to Mr. Macchio's office!
Now you'll have ME to deal with!!
It's not all bad news, though...at least you like football and we can natter at length about the '68 World Cup and Beckham and the unfortunate poor standing of The Wolverhampton Wanderers and...what?...hold on.... you mean THAT kind of "football" where they use their hands?!!
Oh well....never mind.

About this blog: By day, he’s a mild-mannered comic book editor! By night, he’s an obsessive sports fan!
By early morning, he drinks coffee and then runs! He’s Nathan Cosby, and he has thoughts about things.
This is them.
About the author: When Associate Editor Nathan Cosby is not thinking about football, he edits Marvel’s All-Ages books, including the Marvel Adventures line (Spidey, FF, Avengers, Super Heroes), X-Men and Wolverine First Class, Franklin Richards, Mini Marvels, and Power Pack, works on the Marvel Illustrated and Stephen King books, does the Custom Comics, and runs Super Hero Squad. There’s like 20 other things he does, but he’s bored with typing this.
