Both publishers have been in a place of relative strength for the past couple of years, and it's easy to see as much by taking a look at their solicitations. They give readers a sneak-peek at what's to come, and while we're still awaiting Marvel's for June 2019, DC went ahead and revealed theirs last Friday.

With new events, variant covers and even the odd omission here and there, here’s what we learned from DC’s most recently released solicitations.
