Marvel Comics’ Unofficial Head Writer: Jed MacKay’s Rise in the X-Men Universe
Marvel Comics has a new unofficial head writer in Jed MacKay, who is set to take on the writing duties for the upcoming X-Men comic series. MacKay, a former junior high school teacher, is also writing for other Marvel titles such as Doctor Strange and Moon Knight. This makes him one of the most prominent creators at Marvel right now, with the responsibility of guiding two of the company’s biggest franchises into the future.
According to Marvel executive editor Tom Brevoort, MacKay handling both X-Men and Avengers titles is “not a coincidence,” hinting at a possible crossover event between the two superhero teams in the near future. This would be the third crossover event between Avengers and X-Men, following Avengers vs. X-Men and Avengers/X-Men/Eternals: Judgment Day.
With MacKay’s track record of writing successful annual specials and event titles for Marvel, it’s clear that he has earned the trust of the company to lead these iconic franchises. Some may even say that MacKay’s role in shaping the Marvel comic book universe resembles that of a head writer.
Stay tuned for more exciting developments in the world of Marvel Comics as Jed MacKay continues to make his mark on the X-Men and Avengers series.
