And so, on the eve of The Escapist's fourth birthday, I turn the reigns over to my original partner in crime, my very first hire: Russ Pitts, whom you currently know as "Head Video Dude."
From GWJ front page writer to editor-in-chief at The Escapist? Not bad, dude. Not bad at all. 
What a superhero pimp.

If you can't be a good example, at least be a horrible warning.
"Reins." It's, "take the reins." As in, driving the carriage. Directing the horses.
The correct use of idiom requires the understanding of that idiom! So help me Wordsmythe.
Congrats Fletch!

awesome
And could the timing be any better... with new writers coming up here

But he is also the reigning monarch of Escapistland. Maybe it was a clever play on words. Prove me right, Podunk! Reign those reins!

I actually had 'reins' in there first, but then saw that Julianne Greer wrote 'reigns' in the quoted passage so I changed it. Maybe she was making a clever pun, I don't know. I own horses, I know what the f*ck reins are.

So who does he send the resignation letter to?

Well done, sir!

It is quite a clever pun - thanks for pointing that out. Too damn clever by half though - if one half of your readers aren't going to get it, and the other half are going to think it's a typo.
