\u00a0\u201cMarie intrinsically understands the power of comics and their unique ability to entertain and empower, which makes her a perfect choice to be DC\u2019s next Editor-in-Chief,\u201d said Cherry. \u201cIn addition to her many creative talents, she\u2019s also incredibly committed to increasing access to this amazing industry by mentoring the next generation of comic book creators and helping them find their voices.
