DC Comics announces details on first eight DC Rebirth collections


Ahead of the DC Comics December 2016 solicitations, to be released next week, DC has let retailers know the latest details on the first eight DC Rebirth collections. As we already know, these will all be released in paperback to start out. According to these solicitations, all of these collections will include their titles' "Rebirth" special (which means some double-dipping for those series that also ended their last collections with the "Rebirth" special); also, contrary to previous solicitations, the issue length will vary for these collections, with Batman and Justice League collecting five regular issues where as Flash collects eight regular issues.

I notice also that the Nightwing collection skips the two "Night of the Monster Men" crossover issues, which may not make Nightwing readers happy. I'll be curious to see if these are collected in another book, like Batman or Detective, or if they're only collected in the Night of the Monster Men trade itself.

Here's the listings:
