Disney's Marvel Comics Firings In The Daily LITG, 16th of April 2026

Disney's Marvel Comics Firings-related stories were the most read on Bleeding Cool yesterday. Lying In The Gutters is the daily runaround.

Disney's Marvel Comics Firings-related stories were the three most-read stories on Bleeding Cool yesterday, as we named SVP David Gabriel, executive communications director Timothy Cheng and longstanding editors Lauren Bisom, Devin Lewis and Darren Shan. Lying In The Gutters is the daily runaround for the most-read stories the day before, as well as over the past seven years. Founded seventeen years ago and steeped in a history of comic book industry gossip for a further eighteen years before that, Bleeding Cool has become one of the longest-standing and most well-known pop culture websites around. The Daily Lying In The Gutters remains a long-running runaround the day before and possibly the day ahead. In summary, you can sign up to receive Lying In The Gutters as an email here.
