Congratulations to Alex Segura. The Beat has obtained verbal confirmation of Alex’s promotion to Co-President of Archie Comics.

Alex was previously doing double duty as SVP of Publicity & Marketing and editing the Dark Circle line (including the criminally under-appreciated Black Hood series – you should go have a look).

And he’s co-writing The Archies series that just debuted, after having written a series of music-related specials and mini’s over the years, like Archie Meets KISS.

And he’s a novelist with a series of mysteries when he’s not busy with Archie.

Alex has been working in marketing & PR roles for DC and Archie going back to 2004, prior to which he was in the newspaper industry.
