Andrea Towers, who joined Marvel Comics as head of PR two years ago, replacing Chris D'Lando, has announced that she's no longer with the company. We noted on Friday that Marvel failed to send out any previews for this week's comics, something they still haven't done, and this could shed some light on the reason why.

Towers didn't share any details about the departure, but she did post the following statement in a Twitter thread.

To that end, I've got some writing projects I've been working on and some opportunities that I'm excited to chase. I'm also looking forward to pursuing a few specific interests more professionally. (That being said, if anyone is in need of a writer/PR gal, DMs are open!)

I still love comics and will always love comics, esp Marvel comics, but I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds and sharing that with all of you. In the words of one of my favorite heroes, "everything is going to work out exactly the way it's supposed to."

It's no secret that Marvel as a company are not fans of Bleeding Cool, and even less so of your pal Jude Terror in particular, but Towers was always very nice to me in any interactions we had, and tolerating me is the sign of a very capable PR person. We wish her the best.

Marvel confirmed the change but declined to comment further. Robyn Belt has been seen sending out some of Marvel's press releases over the past week.
