I can’t explain why the DC Comics August 2026 trade paperback and hardcover solicitations are so thin in terms of regular series collections, except to say that some months are like that. Sometimes what we find is that two different solicitations end up filling a certain month, but looking at the schedule from what I know of the fall 2026 catalog, it really just seems like October is a slim month.

September, for instance, has Absolute Batman Vol. 3, the new DC/Marvel collection, and Supergirl Vol. 2; November has Absolute Superman Vol. 3, Green Lantern Corps Vol. 3, Action Comics Vol. 2, Wonder Woman Vol. 5, Absolute Green Lantern Vol. 3, Aquaman Vol. 3, and Batman Vol. 2. October has … just Absolute Wonder Woman Vol. 3.
