All Upcoming DC Paperback Collections (March – December 2021)

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. The biggest new releases come from the Dark Nights: Death Metal and Future State collections. Both of these events are being collected for the first time and there are several paperbacks that expand upon them as a whole. In addition, collections for the start of new comic runs and a few great reprints will be coming soon. Plus, there are plenty of exciting paperback releases that were previously only available as hardcover collections.

To simplify what to expect, we created a list of all solicited paperback collections currently set for release between today and December 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.
