So far, that’s been to the benefit of both Marvel Comics and Archie Comics, both of whom are headquartered in New York. DC’s former publicity head Alex Segura now holds a similar title at Archie — a job he took just before the company announced a new chief creative officer.
It seems likely, given her new position in the X-Men office, that Kubert will take over some of the duties vacated by Jeanine Schaefer, who took over as Marvel’s talent scout following the promotion of longtime scout CB Cebulski.
Kubert is the granddaughter of legendary DC Comics artist Joe Kubert, founder of the Kubert School.
