DC Comics September 2022 Collection Solicitations
DC’s September 2022 solicitations are out and we’re here to look at the collected editions.

Many of these are the first entries for new comics or new and complete miniseries, such as Catwoman: Lonely City, American Vampire 1976, Aquaman/Green Arrow – Deep Target, and Tales of the Amazons. There are also several solid entries from DC Horror, DC Horror Presents: Soul Plumber and Refrigerator Full of Heads.
