Bleeding Cool recently heard that Sebastian Girner was no longer Editor-In-Chief of direct-distributed comic book publisher TKO Comics. His Linked-In profile lists his stint at the publisher as "Dec 2018 – Mar 2024 · 5 yrs 4 mos". And it is now April the 1st.

He has also worked for, and with VIZ Media, Heavy Metal, Kodansha, Penguin Random House, and Wizards of the Coast. Why Goats Flying Press? "Goats exhibit all of the traits that we strive to embody in our quest of publishing true comics: passion, perseverance, playfulness, and preparedness to run headfirst through a brick wall should the situation demand it."
As for whether he will be taking on a new role separate from Goats Flying Press… well that may be one of those shoes dropping. Sebastian Girner did not respond to requests for comment earlier.
