Here's why:
* Publishing decisions are fluid: DC Comics (and any publisher) often changes its plans based on sales, market demand, and other factors.
* Hardback releases can be based on popularity: Sometimes, publishers release popular graphic novels in hardback editions later on, even if they weren't originally printed that way.
* No official announcements: There have been no official announcements from DC Comics regarding specific hardback releases for the Flashpoint graphic novels.
To get the most accurate information:
* Check DC Comics' official website: Keep an eye on their announcements and upcoming release schedules.
* Follow DC Comics social media: Often, they make announcements on platforms like Twitter or Facebook.
* Contact DC Comics directly: If you have a specific question, you can reach out to their customer service.
While you can't be certain, staying informed through these channels will give you the best chance of knowing when and if hardback editions will be released.
