While at NYCC 2025, DC will continue its celebration of 100 years publishing the World’s Greatest Super Heroes by focusing on the first decade: 1935 to 1945. With reverence for the past and an embrace of the future, DC plans to celebrate every era of its storied history annually in 10-year increments, starting at the beginning. NYCC’s free 1940s-style Daily Planet newspaper, while prominently featuring art and ads from this first decade of publication, also delivers first looks at some of DC’s most anticipated titles releasing this year, as well as communicating DC’s panel schedule and events offered during NYCC 2025.

With a can’t-miss lineup of panels, exclusives, and interactive experiences, DC is set to deliver an unforgettable weekend of programming. DC’s panels will give insight into the bracket-style event series DC K.O., will reveal DC’s upcoming Vertigo slate of comics, and more. While at NYCC, fans can look forward to engaging directly with their favorite creators by attending in-booth signings, including appearances by DC President, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee, the dynamic duo of Batman writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jiménez, DC K.O. event writer and co-architect Scott Snyder, and more.

NYCC provides the perfect platform for DC to connect with fans, showcase exciting content, and celebrate the power of DC storytelling. Whether you’re looking for the most binge-worthy comics, the toys and collectibles that you absolutely must have, or just the most amazing cosplay on the planet, you’ll find it where DC and NYCC come together for their fans. Stay tuned for more NYCC news from DC in the coming weeks.
