Devan Coggan (which she says rhymes with "seven slogan")  has been working at Entertainment Weekly for nine years, beginning as an Editorial Assistant, before working up to Senior Writer for the last two years. Graduating from Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism, she also worked as a Fact Checker for New York Magazine, a copywriter for CheckMark Communications at Nestlé Purina, and a Reporter, Copy Chief, Arts & Entertainment Editor at The Daily Northwestern.

It looks like she'll be working as an editor on the west coast of Marvel, in digital media, rather than the comics editorial, but you never know where you'll end up. Of course, we checked out what Devan Coggan had been writing about Marvel of late… when she was not writing about Doctor Who, that is.

She did once say "It's sort of bleakly funny that Marvel made Age of Ultron, a movie about how relying too much on AI technology is bad, and then used AI technology itself on Secret Invasion." And also "My absolute favorite thing about Vin Diesel is how he always wears a Groot-inspired outfit to all the Marvel premieres." Can't argue with any of that!
