Gotham Central: DC Compact Comics Edition

In the 2026 DC Compact Comics Edition, Gotham Central brings the acclaimed series to a new format, collecting its gritty, street-level focus on the detectives of the Gotham City Police Department. Originally published by DC, this run is most closely associated with writers Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker, whose work defined the series' noir-infused, character-driven approach. It matters because it reframes Gotham’s world through the eyes of its non-powered heroes, emphasizing procedural crime drama over superhero spectacle.
