Today’s “Job Moves” listings in Publishers Weekly confirmed that David Brothers has joined manga publisher Viz Media as an editor.

Brothers, formerly Branding Manager at Image Comics, commented in tweets.

(I probably won’t talk about it online much but I’m stoked. The office is hella diverse and cool. Also the chairs are pretty comfortable) pic.twitter.com/OvUg5Taik8 — d a v i d b (@hermanos) January 9, 2018

The move did not come as a surprise to anyone who was paying attention. Brothers is a passionate advocate for manga, with a lot of great writing about it on his old website, 4th Letter.

Seriously, this is a great move for both Brothers, one of the industry’s rising stars, and Viz, one of its biggest publishers in the trade market.
