After three years as President and Co-Publisher of Massive Publishing, which he co-founded with Michael Calero and Trevor Richardson. Kevin 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 Michael 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. 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.” – Michael Calero, CEO, Massive Publishing
In the past year, Roditeli authored two standout series as a creator, including Bad Omens: Concrete Jungle, created with the Billboard-charting band for Sumerian Comics. The series became one of the most successful musician-comic collaborations to date. He also released his creator-owned series, Washed In The Blood, a post-apocalyptic tale about a teenager who becomes the messiah of a frozen wasteland after hearing the voice of the goddess of guns. The series received high praise from fans and critics, with reviewer Blake’s Buzz stating, “If you give yourself to Roditeli’s narrative, it will take you somewhere, and you’ll arrive at the end smarter than whence you started,” and Comicbook Poser calling it “the best storytelling (both textually and artistically) that I HAVE EVER SEEN.”
Kevin Roditeli is now fully dedicated 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—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.” – Kevin Roditeli
