Sad news, it is being reported that Marvel Comics long time Editor in Chief Jim Shooter has passed away at 73 from Cancer. Comic writer Mark Waid first reported it on his Facebook page. A note posted on Jim’s Facebook account on June 19, 2025, stated that “Jim was suspending his convention dates due to health issues”.
Here is a link to one of the first reports on Jim’s Passing:

And here is the interview I conducted with him just a couple of months ago at GalaxyCon Richmond
The Comic world is a lot dimmer today with this news. Thoughts and Prayers to all his friends, Fans and Family.
RIP Jim, thank you for making our lives brighter from the moment you began to draw comics until today.
