8 Things We Learned From DC's June 2019 Solicitations

6. Chris Samnee Is Still Handling Covers For Batman Beyond

Batman Beyond Samnee
DC Comics

It seems like forever since we last saw Chris Samnee do the interiors for a comic book, with the artist having left Marvel after wrapping up Captain America in 2018, and while that spell looks to continue way into June, he is doing the odd cover here and there. The artist has been handling cover duties for Batman Beyond since issue 30, and is still working on the book as of Batman Beyond #33.

We're still waiting to find out what Samnee's next big book will be, but all signs point towards it being something DC related. As for when that'll arrive, it's anyone's guess really. Could it be Batman Beyond? Perhaps something related to Superman? Who knows - what matters is that he's currently producing some wonderful covers for Batman Beyond, an equally wonderful comic penned by Dan Jurgens.

As for the story itself, issue 33 will see the third part of the "Lost Daze" arc, with Bruce surprisingly unable to help Terry on this particular encounter.

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.
