The DC Manga Sampler will debut at July's San Diego Comic-Con, before being distributed to comic book shops by Lunar Distribution. They will show off the three volumes previously announced, Joker: One Operation Joker Vol. 1 written by Satoshi Miyagawa, art by Keisuke Gotou, Superman vs. Meshi Vol. 1 written by Satoshi Miyagawa, art by Kai Kitago, and Batman: Justice Buster Vol. 1 written and drawn by Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi. This DC Manga Sampler is 40 pages with a "self-cover" format so the cover is of the same material as the inside pages, is printed at a traditional manga dimension of 5" x 7.5", and reads right-to-left.

Comic book retailers will get bundles of the DC Manga Sampler tied to their orders of cover A and B of Batman #135/#900, and rounded up to the nearest 25. Retailers can order additional quantities in bundles of 25 for $5 each.

The volumes themselves will begin printing in September, 160-page books with a cover price of $9.99, also printed at a traditional manga dimension of 5" x 7.5," and read right-to-left. Originally available in Japan from Kodansha, this is the first time they have been translated into English in print.

Previously DC Comics representatives announced that their titles will initially be published digitally first, in  a webtoon serialised format for DC Universe Infinite subscribers and then collected in full volues in print later. DC Infinite will get a new update to accommodate the webtoon vertical scrolling manga  reading experience. Originally Superman vs. Meshi and  Joker: One Operation Joker were published in Japan in June 2021 with Batman: Justice Buster more recently in December 2022,
