All Upcoming DC Paperback Collections (August 2021 – May 2022)

UPDATE: A more recent list of DC Paperback collections is now available. Click here to view our updated list.

This list of upcoming DC Comics paperback collections contains a ton of great material. There are multiple new compendium collections, including Fables, Starman, DMZ, and Milestone. There are also several exciting new books like Far Sector, Action Comics Volume 5: The House of Kent, and Robin Vol. 1. Plus, there are new collections that gather together material that has been out of print for way too long, such as the new Blue Beetle: Jaime Reyes collection.

To simplify what to expect, we created a list of all solicited paperback collections currently set for release between today and May of 2021. This list details the contents and release date for each collection. Readers should keep in mind that solicitations like these often undergo changes before release. Contents, release dates, and collection sizes could all be altered before the book comes out, or the book could be canceled altogether. This means that this list is likely to be what is released in the future, but nothing is guaranteed.
