10 Things We Learned From Marvel's June 2019 Solicitations
9. Is Someone Dying In War Of The Realms?
Marvel Comics
Unsurprisingly, June is effectively Marvel's War of the Realms month. Every ongoing is tying-into it in some way or another - not to mention all the tie-ins created specifically for the event - and it only intimates the scale of the conflict.
But, as with most conflicts, fans should expect casualties. The description for War of the Realms #6 even hints as much, with Earth's Mightiest Heroes banding together to make a final stand in New York.
"Out of options, the God of Thunder makes a sacrifice that will leave him forever changed. But will it be enough? And what heroes may fall in his wake? Midgard’s fate is sealed as Jason Aaron’s years-long saga comes to its epic conclusion!"
Granted, the sixth issue doesn't flat-out state that a hero will die, but don't rule it out. It wouldn't be a Marvel event without the passing of at least one superhero, so it may be wise for fans to brace theirselves now and avoid the heartbreak come June.
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.
