Years ago, Marvel launched its Epic Collection, offering full stories at an affordable price. You can choose your favourite heroes and pick up a complete run and arc to access both old and new stories, including some classics and some that have been forgotten. It was and still is a massive success. Now, DC Comics has decided to follow suit with its own line of books: DC Finest.
Each DC Finest book covers a specific character, team, event, or genre from across DC history. Depending on the chronology, a volume dedicated to ‘Robin’ could feature Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Damian Wayne or Jason Todd. The Green Lantern volumes will feature stories starring Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, Alan Scott, and others, depending on the era. One moment you’ll be enjoying classic Silver Age adventures with Barry Allen, and the next you’ll be following Wally West into danger in the Modern Age.
Each volume is around 600 pages long and collects around 25 issues or more. These include main series issues, annuals, tie-in,s and any other stories that contribute to the main storyline. This makes it easy to jump into a character or series without needing the previous volumes. Like the Epic Collection, the volumes are not released in chronological order as DC Comics jumps around different eras. Over time, the line is designed to fill in all the gaps and provide a comprehensive chronological reading experience.
Don’t miss a volume in the DC Finest Collection thanks to our release schedule!
