Today is my last day at Marvel! After three years at the House of Ideas, I'll be starting a new adventure on Monday. I'm excited for this next step in my career, to meet more wonderful people in this industry and to keep making comics!

Hey did you all know that @TomBrevoort is, like, really good at making comics? I'm so lucky to have been able to learn from you, Tom! I think 2018 is going to be a continuation of the Yes Year for me.

Well I didn't expect one of the last notes I'd send in my Marvel tenure to be about reducing the size of a codpiece but here we are so, uh, hashtag misandry I guess??

Thank you to every letterer, color artist, inker, penciler, writer and every single creator I've been lucky enough to work with. I'm in awe of how cool and talented and wonderful you all are.

The Marvel family is a big & welcoming one and I'm damn proud to have belonged to it. The comics you all make are excellent and I can't wait to see what the future holds under @CBCebulski's leadership. It's an exciting time to be a Marvel fan.

One last very important thank you, as I'm abut to walk out of this office: Thank you @EDevinLewis for being my biggest supporter and loudest cheerleader. You're my favorite person, and I'm so glad I know you, and I will always be grateful to this place for introducing us.

— Christina Harrington (@Coelacanthkiss) 30 March 2018

Here's the cool thing about dudes tweeting horrible shit at me about my last day: I'm going to continue to make cool comics and you'll continue to languish in obscurity. And I'll do continue to not hire you, and so will every woman working in comics.
