Marvel Comics Leaves NYC, Moves to Burbank

Marvel's publishing arm is relocating from New York to Burbank, consolidating with film/TV under Disney. New EIC Stephen Wacker appointed, Dan Buckley out, Cebulski moves to manga/Asia role. Town hall held July 16. Reuters confirms ~100 employees asked to relocate by July 2027. Lease expiration and loss of top market share to DC drove the move. New: Marvel has entered the compact comics space to compete with DC's line, and announced a manga partnership with Kadokawa under Cebulski's Asia role. This signals deeper integration with Disney/Marvel Studios, a shift in talent geography, and potential staff attrition.
