DC is dropping a big comic shaped Valentine in our laps with the release of the publisher's full February 2024 solicitations, full of releases that DC is hoping you'll fall in love with.

Among the many DC releases planned for February 2024, one of the biggest standouts is the three part "Joker: Year One" story that will unfold in Batman #142-144. There have been some strange developments with the Joker lately, with multiple versions of the villain running around Gotham City. Perhaps the Clown Prince of Crime's Year One treatment, which will venture into the first year of Joker's villainous career.

DC is observing Black History Month with a set of variant covers which honor many of the publisher's most beloved Black heroes. The covers, by artist Nikolas Draper-Ivey, will feature characters such as Cyborg, Batwing, Natasha Irons, Mister Terrific, and more.

Meanwhile, February will also bring the launch of Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum, a prequel comic that will set the stage for the much anticipated upcoming video game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. As implied by the title, the action will primarily be confined to Arkham Asylum as the scheming Amanda Waller assembles a new Task Force X.

But that's just scratching the surface of another packed month of releases. Read on for a closer look at some of the biggest highlights from DC's February 2024 solicitations followed by all of the comics and trades. If you still want more, you can also check out all of Marvel and DC's recent listings here on our solicitations tab. 

February is a big month for the Bat-books. There's always a lot going on in Gotham, but The Joker: Year One storyline sounds like it's going to have a dramatic effect on the status quo for Batman's deadliest enemy. I'm also really intrigued by The Bat-Man: First Knight, which takes us right back to the start of the Caped Crusader's crime-fighting career, thanks to the dynamic duo of Death of Superman writer Dan Jurgens and Mike Perkins. 

Elsewhere, but still related to Batman, I'm excited to see a new Red Hood solo series. Poor old Jason Todd has been put through the wringer these last few months, but Red Hood: The Hill sounds like it will give him the chance to grow now that he's apart from his former mentor.

Finally for this month, a new Absolute edition. Grant Morrison has been my favorite comics writer ever since I read The Invisibles #1 way back in 1994 (dating myself there...). Their collaboration with Frank Quitely has spanned multiple different comics, but arguably reached its pinnacle with All-Star Superman - a truly magnificent and beautiful book that I'm delighted to see get a long-overdue Absolute treatment. I'd put this one on my Christmas list, but it's not out till
