Posted on July 14, 2005

Cracked Entertainment, Inc. announced that Michael Z. Hobson, the former publisher of both Marvel Comics and Scholastic, has joined the company as a senior advisor. He will work directly with Cracked's CEO and Publisher Monty Sarhan.

Hobson's hire follows Cracked being acquired in April 2015 by a group of investors.

The company's redesign of the 47-year-old Cracked Magazine is already underway, with a new website slated to come online sometime in the fall and the magazine making a return to newsstands in early 2006.

Update: The Cracked magazine has been relaunched as a general humor magazine for 18- to 34-year-olds. Monty Sarhan is the CEO of the revamped company and Editor-in-Chief of the publication.
