Meyers was named publisher July 22 as part of a company-wide reshuffle that saw Jerry Bennington, formerly executive vp product management at the company, named president and Rebekah Cahalin upped to general manager and executive vp operations for both IDW Publishing and sibling company IDW Entertainment.
In a statement to THR, Ezra Rosensaft, IDW CEO, said, “IDW Publishing has decided to put Jud Meyers on administrative leave. President Jerry Bennington will assume his responsibilities as interim publisher at this time.”
The publisher declined to comment on the specifics of why Meyers was put on leave.
