10 Things We Learned From Marvel's June 2019 Solicitations
8. Black Cat Gets A Brand New Ongoing
Marvel Comics
Although 2019 is very much the year of Thor and the Avengers, Spider-Man is leading the way too. Hot on the heels of a revolutionary 2018, which featured several memorable exploits across various mediums, the Spidey-family of comics pervade the House of Ideas' solits week in, week out. They're also adding a brand new one for June in Black Cat, written by Jed Mackay and featuring art from Travel Foreman.
The series will spin directly out of the events of Amazing Spider-Man, with Felicia Hardy on the run from both the PDNY and the New York Thieves Guild, led by Odessa Drake.
The book will retail for $4.99 and features some bonus material too, including a story that unveils "a secret from Cat’s past", as well as an "all-new MARVEL MEOW short story by Nao Fuji."
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.
