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
