DC Finest trade paperbacks

DC Finest is a line of full-color trade paperbacks from DC Comics. Announced at 2024's ComicsPRO Comics Conference,[1] their stated intention is to be "affordably priced, large-size paperback collections" providing "a new line of comprehensive collections of the most in-demand periods, genres, and characters from across DC history".[2]

The first DC Finest release: Batman Year One & Two

The format is similar to Marvel's Epic Collection line, which launched in 2013.

As well as covering DC's major heroes, and offering a line devoted to company-wide events, the books allow fans to "curate collections of their favorite tales from specific genres, which may include science fiction, romance, war, westerns, horror, and other genres", in addition featuring reprinted comics for the first time.[3]

Ten books were announced for release in November and December of 2024, with a further 35 for 2025.
