June 2024 DC Comics Solicitations – it looks like going forward hardcover and softcover editions will be released simultaneously!

That's a big change. For a few years now the softcovers trailed the hardcovers by 1 year. And sometimes they even got cancelled entirely on short notice.

Now it seems that DC will release a bunch of books simultaneously as hardcover and softcover, for example Ram V's Detective Comics. And they also release the interjacent volumes too, so that the releases can sync up quickly and no softcovers are skipped.

As a softcover reader this is the best news since Rebirth (when almost everything was released as softcover).
