DC FINEST: HARLEY QUINN — THE BALLAD OF HARLEY QUINN
By Karl Kesel, Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson
Every disaster is a love song when Harley Quinn’s involved. DC Finest: Harley Quinn: The Ballad of Harley Quinn traces Harley’s journey from Joker’s wayward henchgirl to chaotic, complicated leading lady—through friendships, romances, near-death experiences, and a whole lot of questionable life choices.
The comprehensive collection of Harley Quinn’s merry misadventures kicks into high gear as legendary talents Karl Kesel and Terry and Rachel Dodson take over the Clown Princess of Crime’s first solo series.
After a too-close call with the GCPD, Harley and gal pal Poison Ivy try to lay low in Metropolis, but their best-laid plans draw unwanted attention from a whole gaggle of do-gooders—and Bizarro as well! But the fun doesn’t stop there, as Kesel and the Dodsons are joined by a cadre of other high-caliber collaborators—including Judd Winick, Joe Chiodo, Paul D. Storrie, and Jennifer Graves—for even more long-form fun with the Maid of Mischief and her ever-expanding social circle!

DC FINEST: GREEN LANTERN — SETTING UP SHOP
(NOTE: Clearly the credits are wrong on the preliminary cover. These are 1980s stories, not 1960s stories. The listing itself names Steve Englehart, Joe Staton and Ian Gibson.)
DC Finest: Green Lantern: Setting Up Shop assembles the definitive, era-shaping moments that turned the Corps into a true ensemble—balancing interstellar threats, political tension, personal conflict, and the rise of new Lanterns ready to leave their mark on the universe.
As Hal Jordan reconnects with Earth, Guy Gardner seizes the spotlight, John Stewart and Katma Tui navigate love and duty, Kilowog finds unexpected purpose across borders, and the Corps confronts villains old and new—from Doctor Ub’x to Black Hand to cosmic forces beyond imagination.
With the title’s transformation into Green Lantern Corps, the Lanterns must prove they are more than lone ring-bearers—they are a unified force, forged in challenge, heartbreak, and hope.
Collects Secret Origins #7; Action Comics #589; Green Lantern #201–205; Tales of the Green Lantern Corps Annual #2; Green Lantern Corps #206–219; and Green Lantern Annual #3.

DC FINEST: HORROR — WHERE DEAD MEN WALK
By Gerry Conway, Marv Wolfman, Alex Toth and Bernie Wrightson
A chill in the dark. A whisper in the hall. A doorway no one should step through. DC Finest: Horror: Where Dead Men Walk gathers some of DC’s most iconic iconic horror anthology issues into one volume.
DC Finest: Horror: Where Dead Men Walk plunges readers into the spine-tingling legacy of classic anthology series like House of Secrets, House of Mystery, The Witching Hour, and The Unexpected. From gothic nightmares to twist-ending morality tales, these stories capture the grainy, shadow-soaked style that defined DC’s Bronze Age horror books—where every page turn brings a chill and every narrator smiles just a little too widely.
Whether it’s haunted mansions, cursed bargains, vengeful spirits, or roads better left untraveled, DC Finest: Horror: Where Dead Men Walk curates the era’s finest frights. Presented in the DC Finest format, these stories return in restored clarity for new readers and longtime horror fans alike.
Collects House of Secrets #86–90; House of Mystery #186–190; The Phantom Stranger #7; The Witching Hour #8–12; and The Unexpected #118–123.

DC FINEST: DOOM PATROL — THE END SACRIFICES THE MEANS
By Rachel Pollack, Ted McKeever and Linda Medley
Reality breaks. The Patrol keeps walking. DC Finest: Doom Patrol: The End Sacrifices the Means collects Rachel Pollack’s complete, boundary-pushing Vertigo run—a fractured epic of shape-shifting magicians, sex ghosts, pirate robot brains, and a war over the very idea of identity itself.
The End Sacrifices the Means is the story of broken people trying to find wholeness in a world that keeps rewriting the rules of reality. Cliff Steele’s consciousness is pirated and sold. Dorothy Spinner’s powers and body change faster than she can understand. Coagula, a new hero born from chemical accident and rejection, fights for a place to belong. And Niles Caulder—the Head—dreams of Window Men and Doctors of Void as he questions what “healing” ever really means.
Picking up the remnants of Grant Morrison’s era, Rachel Pollack (Doom Patrol, Godmother Night, Vertigo Tarot) and collaborators Richard Case, Linda Medley, Ted McKeever, the Pander Brothers, Scot Eaton, and others use impossible images—identity addicts, sex ghosts, Wild Girls, messianic “Healers,” and the Teiresias Wars—to explore gender, trauma, memory, and chosen family.
Through all of it, the Patrol keeps showing up for each other, even when they can’t tell what’s “real.” This is Doom Patrol as a story about survivors who refuse to let the world define who they are.
Collects Doom Patrol #64–87; Vertigo Jam #1; and Doom Patrol Annual #2.

DC FINEST: TEEN TITANS — TERRA IN THE NIGHT!
By Marv Wolfman, George Perez and Romeo Tanghal
The Titans’ greatest era ignites—and sparks character defining friendships and betrayals. Marv Wolfman and George Pérez introduce Terra, a new hero who may not be everything she seems, and whose arrival may spell the end for the Teen Titans as a team.
The Teen Titans stand on the edge of transformation as new threats rise, new alliances form, and a mysterious girl named Terra bursts onto the scene with power none of them fully understand. As Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, Wonder Girl, Beast Boy (a.k.a. Changeling), and Kid Flash clash with Brother Blood, the Gordanians, and the Brotherhood of Evil, the team’s unity is tested like never before. Terra’s unpredictable strength—and even more unpredictable loyalties—begin to carve fault lines through the group’s foundation.
Alongside epic team battles, this collection dives deep into personal histories with Tales of the New Teen Titans, and introduces iconic villains like Blackfire. DC Finest: Teen Titans: Terra in the Night! showcases the bold action, emotional intensity, and character-driven storytelling that defined the legendary Wolfman/Pérez era and forever changed the future of DC’s premier young heroes.
Collects The New Teen Titans #21–32; The New Teen Titans Annual #1; Tales of the New Teen Titans #1–4; The New Teen Titans (Drug Awareness) #1–3; and Action Comics #536.

DC FINEST: EVENTS — LEGENDS PART ONE
By John Ostrander, Len Wein, John Byrne and Karl Kesel
What if the world decided it didn’t want heroes anymore? DC Finest: Events: Legends Part One captures the emotional core of DC’s first post-Crisis crossover, where Darkseid doesn’t just attack cities—he attacks faith in Superman, Batman, and every costumed legend on Earth.
As Glorious Godfrey turns crowds and governments against their champions, heroes are forced to question not only what they do, but why they do it. Firestorm grapples with the consequences of his power in the streets. The Justice League fractures and falls. Blue Beetle defies orders to do what’s right. Cosmic Boy confronts a history that may have never truly existed. From these trials, a new League is born, the Suicide Squad steps from the shadows, and Wonder Woman’s arrival hints at a future still worth fighting for.

DC FINEST: SUPERMAN — THE MAN OF STEEL
By John Byrne, Marv Wolfman, Jerry Ordway and Dick Giordano
A universe is reborn—and so is its greatest hero. DC Finest: Superman: The Man of Steel collects the foundational stories of Superman’s post-Crisis on Infinite Earths reinvention, where John Byrne (Man of Steel, X-Men) and Marv Wolfman (New Teen Titans, Crisis on Infinite Earths) reimagine the Last Son of Krypton for a new era.
From the six-issue Man of Steel miniseries that reshaped Superman’s origin to the earliest issues of the post-Crisis runs of Superman, Action Comics, and Adventures of Superman, this volume reveals a Clark Kent rooted in humanity, a Lois Lane with unstoppable drive, and a Lex Luthor redefined as a ruthless corporate tyrant.
With appearances by Wonder Woman, Batman, the Teen Titans, Darkseid, Green Lantern, and the Phantom Stranger, these stories cement the emotional, moral, and mythic foundations that guided Superman for decades.
Collects The Man of Steel #1–6; Superman #1–6; Adventures of Superman #424–429; and Action Comics #584–588.

DC FINEST: EVENTS — CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS PART THREE
By Marv Wolfman and George Perez
The DC Multiverse reaches its breaking point as heroes, legacies, and entire worlds are pushed past their limits. DC Finest: Events: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Three captures the moment when hope falters, histories unravel, and the fate of every universe hangs on choices no hero is ready to face.
The Anti-Monitor’s shadow stretches across every corner of the DC Universe as the Crisis surges toward its catastrophic apex. DC Finest: Events: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Three gathers the explosive middle chapters of the crossover—where battles intensify, alliances fracture, and the cost of saving existence becomes unbearably clear.
From the Justice League’s desperate stand to Superman’s cosmic trials; from the Green Lantern Corps fighting sector-wide extinction to the Legion of Super-Heroes confronting time-shattering consequences, the stakes rise with every lost world. Infinity, Inc. and the heroes of Earth-Two face impossible choices, while Vigilante, the Omega Men, and Blue Devil provide ground-level perspectives on a multiversal catastrophe.
Anchored by Crisis on Infinite Earths #6–9—the heart-shattering midpoint where destinies change forever—this DC Finest edition delivers a curated, essential look at how the Crisis reshaped not just heroes, but the entire fabric of the DCU.

DC FINEST: SWAMP THING — THE MAN WHO WOULD NOT DIE
By Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson
The swamp remembers everything—even the man it refused to let die. DC Finest: Swamp Thing: The Man Who Would Not Die gathers the era-defining Bronze Age saga that birthed DC’s most haunting monster hero.
From the character’s debut appearance in The House of Secrets #92 to the origin, betrayals, and revelations of the classic Swamp Thing series, Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson craft a slow-burn tragedy about loss, guilt, and transformation.
When scientist Alec Holland is seemingly doused in an experimental chemical on the verge of death in a Louisiana swamp, the Swamp Thing is created—but the truth of the Swamp Thing’s identity is much stranger and more arcane than a simple transformative accident.
Wein, Wrightson, and their collaborators craft a dark, mysterious, and horror-drenched epic that travels through the most bizarre corners of the DC Universe, now collected in the first Swamp Thing volume in the DC Finest line.
Collects Swamp Thing #1–22; The House of Secrets #92, #140; The Phantom Stranger #14; The Brave and the Bold #122.

DC FINEST: CATWOMAN — CREATURES OF THE NIGHT
By Doug Moench, Chuck Dixon and Jim Balent
When Gotham sleeps, Catwoman steals the night for herself. Doug Moench (Legends of the Dark Knight) and Chuck Dixon (Robin) join a striking lineup of Gotham artists to deliver a sleek, high-energy era of Selina Kyle in motion—sharp, stylish, and always one step ahead.
Selina Kyle never walks when she can glide, flip, or sprint through danger—and this era captures her at full velocity. These stories showcase her talent for slipping into shadows, stealing from the worst people in Gotham, and outwitting anyone bold enough to chase her. Every issue is packed with expressive visuals, daring escapes, and the kind of razor-sharp attitude only Catwoman can deliver.
A wide-ranging creative roster—including Doug Moench (Batman), Chuck Dixon (Green Arrow), and Jim Balent (Batman: Shadow of the Bat)—brings a nonstop blend of noir intrigue, slick heists, criminal rivalries, and kinetic action. You’ll find Selina matching wits with dangerous imitators, clashing with classic Gotham foes, slipping into unexpected team-ups, and navigating chaos with the style and confidence that made this era iconic.
Plus, a pulp-inspired annual adds an unexpected supernatural twist, proving Catwoman can handle genres as effortlessly as she cracks safes.
Collects Catwoman #33–53; Catwoman Annual #3-4; DC Universe Holiday Bash #1; and Batman Secret Files #1.

Buncha thoughts:
— Also in this wave are two fabulous Batman titles that deserved their own stories. Links below — along with other DC Finest and book news.
— Heavy reliance on the Bronze and Modern Ages, with nary a Golden Age or Silver Age book in sight. That said, we may still be getting more titles revealed before all is said and done for 2026.
— Great to see another Horror volume in the mix.
