8 Things We Learned From DC's June 2019 Solicitations

1. No Doomsday Clock... Again?

Doomsday Clock 11
DC Comics

Doomsday Clock might be one of DC's best books, but it's frustratingly struggled to maintain a consistent schedule since first being published. It's now shipping bi-monthly, with Doomsday Clock #10 slated to hit shelves April 17, but there's no sign of the book in June.

It was previously reported that issue 11 would release at the end of May, but with the delay to the book's tenth issue, June would've seemed the likelier bet for either Doomsday Clock #11 or #12 to release in June.

According to DC's solits though, neither issue will be making its way to stores that month. It's possible that it could be July now, but with the tenth issue having been pushed back to April as late as last week, who knows when the following issues will reach shelves?

In fairness, it's probably better that Doomsday Clock is delayed. It's Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's vision, and it should remain that way start to finish. Here's hoping, though, that it manages to conclude before August.

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.
