What You Will Do
Editorial Review of Reading Paths & Comic Issues
• Review reading orders proposed by the team across multiple dimensions — Character, story arcs, writer runs, events and crossovers, eras, and imprints — and refine them based on canon, narrative quality, and reader experience.
• Validate issue-level sequencing within each reading path and flag where the proposed order would confuse, spoil, or under-serve a reader. Define and curate canonical entry points for new readers with clear rationale for each.
• Provide concise editorial rationale for each reading path, highlighting its intended reading experience, key strengths, and any important considerations for readers.
• Assess the intended audience and reading complexity for each reading path (e.g., beginner, intermediate, advanced), ensuring recommendations are appropriate for different levels of Marvel familiarity.
Cross-Item Connections
• Map the connective tissue between events, arcs, and runs — including prerequisites, parallel storylines, optional side reading, and post-event continuity — so that readers can move through the catalog without losing the thread.
• Identify and document key continuity nodes (major status-quo changes, character milestones, multiverse pivots) that the content map should treat as anchors.
Collaboration with Product Teams
• Partner closely with the product and business teams to translate domain expertise into structured systems.
• Provide written rationale, source citations, and confidence levels for review decisions so that the team can audit and iterate.
• Participate in regular working sessions (typically remote, U.S. business hours) to align on scope, prioritize titles, and resolve edge cases.
Qualifications
• Demonstrated deep expertise in Marvel Comics
• Working knowledge of Marvel continuity (e.g., key Avengers, Spider-Man, X-Men, and event arcs from the modern era through the present)
• Comfortable working in structured tools (spreadsheets, shared documents) and providing feedback in a format suitable for engineering and data teams.
• Authorized to work in the United States as an independent contractor.
• (Preferred) Experience in editorial and/or creative writing
