By all accounts DC’s line of Compact Comics have been a major success. First launching in June of 2024, fans and retailers alike have praised them as a cheap and accessible way to get some of DC’s most popular stories. These collections stand at a minute 5.5″ x 8.5″, the same as a trade paperback novel. While perhaps not as big and impressive to look at on a shelf as some more dedicated fans might prefer, it’s proven to be the perfect size and price ($9.99) for the average consumer. As such, DC has announced second printings for all of this year’s titles, as well as new titles for 2025.
The reprints have already begun for some titles, with the rest of the lineup to come out in several waves over the course of the rest of the year:

Second Printing — All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely
