"Mike is a key part of our success at Diamond and we are thrilled to promote him to this important, leadership position," said Chuck Parker, President of Diamond Comic Distributors. For now, who knows by the time I have posted this.

Mike joined the Diamond Comic Distributors in 1996 as an Outside Sales Representative and over time Diamond states that he "advanced through progressively more responsible positions within the Sales department. In each role, Mike demonstrated his ability to contribute greatly to the business by developing unique selling opportunities and building key relationships throughout our industry. Mike's business acumen, product knowledge, creativity, and leadership coupled with his passion for our industry make him an extremely valuable member of Diamond's management team."

As I said, it's all well and good, but can folk please stop playing musical chairs with the comics industry when I am trying to write the Top 100 Power List? I'm really all at sixes and sevens. Because right now I don't know who is at six or who is at seven.
