It's definitely a big shift for Marvel to move to LA, especially with such a rich history rooted in New York City. While I can see the appeal of being closer to the film and animation industry, especially given the success of their cinematic universe, I wonder how that will affect the storytelling style and culture of the comics. New York has its own unique rhythm and character that has shaped Marvel storytelling for decades.

I can't help but think about how the DCAU approached its stories with a much different backdrop coming from Los Angeles, particularly with iconic series like Batman: The Animated Series. The environment can really influence the tone and feel of the narratives. Do you think we'll see a shift in Marvel's themes or character development because of this change?
