Image Comics welcomes a new head of Business Development, Jim Viscardi.
Viscardi is now VP of Business Development at Image Comics, effective immediately. He will oversee Image’s audience growth and build new business relationships for the company in the long term. He will work closely with the Sales and Marketing teams and report directly to Eric Stephenson, Publisher & Chief Creative Officer.
Viscardi comes to Image Comics with 15+ years of experience working in various forms of comics and entertainment business development. In 2015, Viscardi co-founded ComicBook.com, which quickly became a top-ranked destination for pop culture and entertainment news. It now boasts one of the largest social media followings on the Internet. The Website was acquired by CBS Interactive (now Paramount Global) in 2018. In his role at ComicBook, Viscardi oversaw editorial strategy, content generation, video production, and social media growth as the site’s popularity exploded, growing to rival the reach of establishment media titans. He began his career at Marvel Entertainment working on the company’s marketing, communications, and retailer relations through several milestone moments, including Avengers vs X-Men, Marvel NOW!, and the introduction of characters like Miles Morales and Captain Marvel.
