(Couldn't find an existing topic.)
These smaller format, cheaper priced collections seem to be selling well - when I checked yesterday, two were still in Amazon's top 10 DC-published titles - and another wave is due starting early next year.
It appears that, after the initial ten were released, the line went on a mini-hiatus as focus shifted to DC Finest - but the success of the Compact volumes means that second printings are actually bridging the gap between waves!
Given that discussion previously has noted that (especially in contrast to Marvel), DC has an absolute wealth of evergeen perennial sellers, it seem probable that many more titles will join the published/announced 25 before long, as well as - surely? - some Volume 2s.
The most-represented authors are Grant Morrison, Jeph Loeb, Alan Moore, Mark Waid, Brian Azzarello and Darwyn Cooke. And they have not shied away from releasing the absurdly slim Joker alongside the nearly-400-page Wonder Woman: Earth One.
Perhaps tellingly, Warren Ellis' Authority and Neil Gaiman's Death are both due in the next slew, despite both authors not being seen in the best lights recently.
With We3 also due, it seems as if Morrison is the go-to author, while American Vampire was labelled "Volume One" (as will Authority, Superman/Batman and Y: The Last Man be).
The oldest (as well as most-famous (and "best")) titles represented are Watchmen and the upcoming V for Vendetta.
