Is Karl Bollers no longer at Valiant?
I noticed on the Compass Points page of Roku #2 that Karl Bollers is no longer listed as a Senior Editor. Anyone know if he's left the company?
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

I noticed that as well. Say what you will, the turnover ratio is crazy.

People don't leave jobs like that without a reason(s).

Who's saying they left?
I know one on that list that was "removed"

Re: Is Karl Bollers no longer at Valiant?
Even if that ratio of who left, who was removed is mixed look at how often people are gone. They keep saying how great everything is and how great the out look is and I can’t count how many people have left in the last 2 years. If you count staff with talent that number is more than just a little troubling. It is very reminiscent of when companies go out of business. Two that come to mind are Acclaim Valiant and Wizard for recent examples.

To be honest, I feel like the final nail in the coffin is Sony ditching the Harbinger film to avoid working with Dan Mintz. To me, that speaks volumes.

This is bad news for Valiant. Bollers edited some of the best books of the last few years.
