10 Things We Learned From Marvel's June 2019 Solicitations

3. Chris Claremont Returns To Wolverine

Wolverine Exit Wounds
Marvel Comics

If Peter David is a name that manages to send the hearts of Hulk fans fluttering, then the same must be said for Chris Claremont and X-Men.

The writer presided over the uncanny team's most successful period during the eighties and nineties, and though he's only made the occasional foray into comics in recent years, they're always worth it.

So, the news that Claremont is returning to helm a Wolverine one-shot called Exit Wounds, alongside industry legends Larry Hama and Sam Keith, is bound to excite X-Men fans. Claremont will also be joined by Salvador Larroca, while nineties darling Rob Liefeld will handle the book's variant cover.

Again, as with Hulk, this Wolverine one-shot is likely to be a must-read for those who grew up on Claremont's work. Here's hoping that other characters get the treatment too. How about Ann Nocenti and John Romita Jr. return for Daredevil next?

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.
