All Upcoming DC Standard-Sized Hardcover Collections (January – August 2021)
UPDATE: A more recent list of DC Hardcover Collections is now available. Click here to view our updated list.
Yesterday we updated our list of all upcoming DC trade paperback collections and today we’re updating our list of upcoming hardcovers. Over the next few months, there is a wide variety of standard-sized hardcover collections coming from DC Comics, especially since DC has recently been collecting its most high-profile comics as hardcovers first. To simplify what to expect, we created a list of all solicited editions currently set for release between today and August 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.
