Meanwhile over at Heavy Metal

Announced on HM's fbook via a BleedingCool article, a Tim Seeley is joining the mag as Managing Editor.

Rantz Hoseley has "left the company" it says.  Nothing on what he's doing or even a thank you.


Tim Seeley is apparently a well-known comics guy, and the article has Mr Eastman and others saying how great Tim is.  No word from or about Mr Morrison.  Comments on the article and the fbook post are all over the place, most like Mr Seeley and think Mr Morrison will hang on, though some seem even more clueless than me.


For me, it just came to me how HM has been trying to merge with comics, which I've been in denial of for a while.  I still thought of Heavy Metal as "The Adult Illustrated Fantasy Magazine" and comics were more lightweight and transient, but with the popular culture impact of comics these days, I can realize why HM might want to seem a part of that.


I'm also a bit annoyed about such an announcement by a fbook link to another article, rather than directly from HM, but I guess that's just how they do things, when they don't have much of a PR stance, as seen by the haphazard nature of the HM internet presence.  (it's been over a year since the main website has had anything new.)


So best of luck to Mr Seeley, and I hope he does at least as good of an interview as Mr Hoseley.
