• Why Fjord Stone's introduction in The Mighty Nein is different than in Critical Role Campaign 2 (and the Dark Horse Origin comics), according to Travis Willingham
• There's a controversial lost Berserk chapter that creator Kentarou Miura blocked from being collected, and its about God (and God being evil)
• Lucasfilm keeps telling Star Wars prose writers (including creator Timothy Zahn) 'no' to reviving Mara Jade

I don't know if you've noticed, but Deadpool & Wolverine is a Big Deal - big with a capital 'B' (also as in 'Billion dollars at the box office'). While all that is going on over at Marvel Studios, Marvel Comics has quietly created a separate editorial team to handle the duo's titles - as well as X-Force.

In X-Men group editor Tom Brevoort's weekly newsletter on Substack, he revealed that Marvel has created a separate sub-office inside the X-Men group for Deadpool, Wolverine, X-Force, and other related series, dubbed the 'Claw Office'. The office is comprised of editor Mark Basso and assistant editor Drew Baumgartner, reporting to Brevoort. Basso is one of the few holdovers from the Krakoan era, as he was also the editor of the Wolverine, Deadpool, and X-Force titles under then-X-Men group editor Jordan D. White, as well as handling other comic series such as Rogue & Gambit.

So what titles are part of Marvel's 'Claw Office'? Currently, they are:

• Deadpool
• Wolverine
• X-Force
• Wolverine: Revenge
• Deadpool Team-Up
• Wolverine: Deep Cut

With Wolverine celebrating his 50th year since his debut, and Deadpool about to hit 35, I'd say its a good time to be those two.
