War of the Realms dominates a very exciting June for Marvel Comics.

2019 is shaping up to be a magnificent year for Marvel and DC, and the latest batch of solicitations don't do anything to dissuade that impression. Creativity is here, there, and everywhere, and though DC look prepped and ready for an exciting summer, so do too Marvel.

June features the conclusion to the increasingly epic-looking War of the Realms, and also the introduction of two brand-new ongoing series. Add to that some juicy teasers for ongoings, mini-series and even the occasional one-shot, and June doesn't just look like a fully-stacked month for the House of Ideas, but a varied one at that.

Granted, that perception will depend on how you feel about tie-ins and crossovers (it has a lot of them), but that doesn't take away from how big a month it is. It'll herald the end of a long-running - and much beloved - run, while also ushering in some new beginnings, all while the return of a fan-favourite creator looms in the distance.

There may even be some clues as to the inspirations behind Spider-Man: Far From Home, which releases a month later in July, courtesy of the latest batch of True Believers reprints. So let's take a look and see what it all means...

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
