Already an epic disaster. Fire now in Mandeville Canyon and threatening to move east toward the 405, up to Mulholland and down into Encino. UCLA campus okay but is on the far outside edge. Praying for the firefighters and everyone in the area. Godspeed, L.A.

Some news: I have accepted a buyout from The Washington Post. My 16 and a half years here comes to an end on Dec. 31. I’m getting a generous deal, and with it, time to focus on David Betancourt the author. It’s been an honor being your comic culture reporter. Thanks for reading.

“You always learn something, see something in a new light, because every movie is in conversation with every other movie.” On his Letterboxd, Martin Scorsese has shared a list of 59 films that serve as “companions” to his own pictures. See the full list: boxd.it/pUdmi/detail
Screenshot of a Letterboxd list, showing a grid of 20 films in four rows of five films each. On the top row from left to right we see the posters for: The Heiress, The Last of the Line, The Lady of the Dugout, Blood on the Moon and Red River. The second row shows the posters for Wild River, Moulin Rouge, The Day of the Jackal, Touchez Pas Au Grisbi and Rififi. The third row shows the posters for Close-Up, Monsieur Vincent, Lourdes, The Taking of Power by Louis XIV and Sweet Smell of Success. The fourth row shows the posters for The River, The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On, The Magic Box, A Kid for Two Farthings and Kyoto, My Mother's Place.

The Puerto Rico Spider-Man suit I co-created with @Ariotstorm in my first Miles Morales story for Marvel Comics made it into the new Spider-Man 2 video game for PS5. Because if there’s one thing a Puerto Rican superhero is gonna do, it’s let you know they’re Puerto Rican! 🇵🇷
