Bleeding Cool understands from multiple sources that long-standing X-Men editor Daniel Ketchum was let go by Marvel Comics on Tuesday.

Popular with fans, no reason has been officially given. Marvel are making no comment and Daniel has not returned inquiries.

But Ketchum did change his Twitter account description to remove the mention that he is a Marvel editor. He has, however, kept the "Editor" description which may point towards his current plans.

Working principally on editing the X-Men titles, Ketchum was one of the people behind the recent ResurrXion relaunch of mutant titles, including the upcoming Iceman comic, and was a regular voice on CBR's X-Position columns.
