Breaking — President Kevin Roditeli Announces Departure From Massive Publishing

by Brendan M. Allen

Kevin Roditeli has announced his departure from Massive Publishing. After three years as President and Co-Publisher of the company which he co-founded with Michael Calero and Trevor Richardson,  Roditeli is stepping away to focus on his creative pursuits. During his tenure, Roditeli played a key role in shaping the company’s vision alongside CEO/Co-Publisher Calero, delivering a diverse and dynamic lineup of comics to shelves year after year.

“I couldn’t be more proud of what Kevin, Trevor, and myself built with Massive Publishing, especially with the direction the company is going with Massive Indies,” said Calero. “It’s hard to see my closest partner step away from Massive but I am Kevin’s biggest fan and will be cheering him on at every step he takes in this new journey.”

Roditeli will now dedicate his efforts to freelance writing, pursuing licensed projects that align with his unique voice, while developing his own original comic series with potential publishers. Beyond comics, he has secured initial funding for his debut film, which he will write and direct. Roditeli and the Massive team remain on good terms and look forward to future collaborations, including the release of one of his creator-owned series and his involvement in an upcoming licensed project from Massive.

“My energy and focus are now fully dedicated to creation. Balancing publishing with my own projects was a challenge, but my mind has never stopped racing,” said Roditeli. “I have dozens of stories ready for development. I’m eager to collaborate with passionate artists and publishers to push the boundaries of comics. It’s exciting to be in a unique position as a freelance creator who has led successful crowdfunding campaigns and sold millions of comics to local shops.”
