looking just like the Epics and it's perfect. This line has so much potential, imagine one day having a complete run of Action Comics, Detective Comics or Flash from the Golden Age all the way to around Flashpoint, that would be so sick.
It’s kinda weirdly formatted because it looks like right now rather than focusing on lines of complete runs, they’re focusing on filling out runs through various characters. Like for example, to collect the complete Superboy and Action Comics runs you have to buy the Superman Family, Superboy, Legion of Superheroes, Supergirl, Superman and whatever other characters had arcs in Action comics or other runs. It’s a bit annoying imo but as long as there is a clear path to collect a complete run, I don’t mind.
Great sampler, paper looks good, overall quality looks good, the design looks great on an actual product after seeing only promo jpgs for months, value for money is excellent, all of this makes me happy. Finally a range of DC books I've been waiting for is in production, looking forward to buying DC's gold silver and bronze age comics.
Fantastic thank you Kurtis and Tom, for sneaking out a copy and sharing with us a little bit of what we can expect! Super excited for this line of books and its great to see DC (crossing fingers) really think through and commit to a line like this. Being compared to Marvel's Epic line is not a bad thing!
Looks like similar paper quality to the Marvel epics, which I’m very happy about. Was worried they were going to use that matte paper they’ve been using in a lot of books lately lol.
this is the exact kind of video I was waiting for, this is amazing. So it looks like the DC Finest will go up to the start of the New 52, maybe someday we'll get collections like this for that run as well, kind of like how Marvel has Epic and Modern epic collections. One thing I'm wondering about is crossover. For instance one of the covers shown was a KnightQuest crossover. Will something like that be in both this book and an eventual DC Finest KnightQuest book? I think that's how Marvel does it with any book containing a crossover, that book will be in the trade for both characters. All in all this looks fantastic and is just what I've been waiting for, I've been wanting a definitive or "library" edition of these stories, something that makes a great complete archive. This is gonna be fantastic
Great question. We already know the contents of the Catwoman book and it only has the Catwoman issues of KnightQuest. The entire thing could be considered an event and be in the Event line, and then just the core story (without Catwoman, etc.) in the Batman line. It will still be a lot of double dipping if you are collecting every volume.
Hi... Great Video...Thank you for the Info. I haven't been able to get it and another one of hers is coming out in June 2025....Just wondering...In the back of your copy ( and you're Lucky to have it ) I notice more issues of Catwoman ( finest ) By any chance do You know if are in Production or..already on sale...Thanks ahead of time..
Looks promising so far. Picking up some volumes for issues I don't have, but the print quality will ultimately determine if I replace any existing paperbacks in the future.
I actually like the wide margins. I hope they stay. The only downside of collections like these is sometimes the parts near the fold can get obscured. I'd rather deal with broken double-splash pages than that.
I have question please i saw there are more than one Catwoman finest book and not sure in which order to read them or do i just read them randomly and each book got its own stories separate from the other book thank you 🙏
It is a nice white semi-gloss stock. Good quality. However, this galley copy may be testing out a certain type of paper. It may not be what they use in the finished product.

Man, the DC compact line and this Finest line has to be the best value in comics. Right up there with manga.
The value of mamga is "supposedly" gonna go up to like 13 14 euro sadly
Awesome video, Kurtis. I’m so glad you took the lead on this.
Great to have your agents out there treasure hunting. Looking forward to the DC Finest line 🤩👍
Just received superman and batman, quality is so much better than what I was expected (even more with tha price)
DC’s Finest indeed! So excited for these to hit! Thanks for the preview Kurtis!
@spiralstorm616 funny finding you here, my friend! 😆
Thanks for the early look to you Kurtis and your buddy Tom. I am so excited to get these (especially Batman, Green Arrow, and Flash). Looks great!
Thanks for the preview. I think I'm going to enjoy the line!
Thanks for the preview. I can’t wait for my copy!
Oh yeah. I'm so excited. Preordered Batman today.😁
I'm really excited for this line. It's an excellent albeit long overdue idea and I can only hope they go "All In" with this line.

OMG thank you Kurtis for doing this and thanks to your buddy Tom as Well! You have no idea how excited I am for this line!!!!
Excellent, thanks so much Kurtis! I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these in November

Jim Balent’s Catwoman is my all-time favourite!!
Thanks for sharing this. Even though I am a Marvel fan, I might try some of these classic DC stories.
dude, you totally should!
Oh this is amazing! I'm craving for the Justice League ones!
So excited to get these in my hands. Awesome video. And thank you mr librarian. We appreciate your undercover work, more than you know. 😉
Very nice sneak peek! Thanks for posting this! 💙👍🏼
Thanks for the preview. Super excited to get the book when it comes out.
Thank you so much and tomorrow friend for showing us this preview. Very excited about this line.

Excellent!
Looks really nice. Quality wise these seem to be on par with the Marvel Epics. Thanks, Kurtis!
Hoping they will announce a Sugar and Spike DC Finest
Very excited for these!
Epic bro! Thanks for releasing the finest content!! 😁
Awesome video Kurtis. Looking forward to this series and this channel!
Ooh awesome, thank you!
Looks Amazing

That first miniseries which takes place during and after year one was really good
They look fantastic. A dream come true for me.

Lookin' gooood! :)

Looks great.
Oh man I’ve been wanting to see what these looked like
I actually like the wide margins. I hope they stay. The only downside of collections like these is sometimes the parts near the fold can get obscured. I'd rather deal with broken double-splash pages than that.
Merci.
I’m very excited for these
why have page numbers in the table of contents if there are no numbers on the pages? hopefully that's fixed for the final releases..
Hope the actual product has the same paper quality.
I hope one day Panini bring this collection to Brazil
I want to get this if I can
I have question please i saw there are more than one Catwoman finest book and not sure in which order to read them or do i just read them randomly and each book got its own stories separate from the other book thank you 🙏
So... are they going to update the DC logo or nah? 🤔
Not sure at this time. They might have changed it for the actual print run. We will find out a couple of months!
Looks like New 52 is the cutoff for modern DC Finest😜
I'll get this one 😋
Do you think, it's likely that they will continue the line into all the stuff past 2011?
Maybe in the far future. But there is plenty of content to get through in these first 80 years in the meantime.
What type of paper is it printed on? Thanks in advance!
It is a nice white semi-gloss stock. Good quality. However, this galley copy may be testing out a certain type of paper. It may not be what they use in the finished product.
Did we just ditch this channel Curtis?
New sub here. Look forward to checking out your content. Enjoyed the upload and stay tuned.
More pages, more white space is needed around the pages, perhaps it will be bigger because of it
Would you consider this a budget line?
Hoping these come out digitally as well. Outlook does not look good for that happening sadly. Book looks great otherwise.
I feel like they would. Don’t see why not at least. Would be an incentive for people to sign up to the app.
Are the issues contained not already available digitally?
@@PM-oq8dg DC tends to not digitally release their higher page count books. For example both omnis and compendiums are only available physically.
Did you forget this channel exists
