Marvel Moves Comics Division from New York to Burbank, Names New Editor-in-Chief

Marvel Comics, a Disney subsidiary, announced it is relocating its comics publishing division from its longtime Manhattan headquarters to Burbank, California, home of Disney and Marvel Studios. The move, driven by an expiring lease, will require about 100 staffers to relocate. Simultaneously, Stephen Wacker replaces C.B. Cebulski as Editor-in-Chief, a role Cebulski held since 2017. Wacker, a veteran editor known for acclaimed series like Daredevil and Hawkeye, also brings experience from Marvel's animated TV side. The changes follow Marvel President Dan Buckley's departure in May and a decline in comics sales, with Marvel falling behind DC in recent industry data. The relocation unites Marvel's publishing and film units, mirroring rival DC's 2015 move to Burbank.
