Another monthly news roundup is on my YouTube channel! This month includes reveals for artbooks based on Wolverine, Gears of War E-Day, Final Fantasy, Outer Wilds, and more. There are also more updates and delays to cover as well.

I hope these continue to be helpful and all of the details for each story, as well as book reviews and previews, are on the website - artbookcollector.com

It's that time of the month again where I share a list of books coming over the next month!
It's a nice mix for July, which includes artbooks for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, Tyler Kirkham, Avatar: Fire and Ash, and Final Fantasy: Rebirth.

Also, The Art of Star Wars: Andor is out today! You can read my review of it ahead of my video here - https://www.artbookcollector.com/post/book-review-the-art-of-star-wars-andor

I feel like the bringer of bad news when I should be sharing a review for the book, but yet again the English edition of the artbook has been delayed. It was due out today, but when I checked my order, it said it was out of stock. After looking online and expecting another delay after the 5 previous ones, it was confirmed through more up to date listings that it is now coming July 7th.

Very frustrating, at this point I'm wondering how much the sales will be impacted and why the Japanese publisher doesn't release it themselves in English, rather than waiting 3 years to do it through another company.

Hi all, you may remember that last year I shared an article about an early listing for the artbook before it was taken down. It's time for another update as it has appeared again, this time with a new placeholder cover and author.

Currently, there are very few listings for the book, with some under the title NA, which implies this could be taken down again as it could be another early mishap, but it went up today with some new details.

TTRPGs don't often get a dedicated artbook like this, so it's an interesting one!

My third and final list of possible artbooks comes after the XBOX showcase, featuring 17 games based on what was shown. From the most likely future artbook reveals, to some that have a small chance, and others that already have them, there is a lot for collectors to be excited about.

Spryo: A Realm Beyond has me very excited, I love both the games and previous artbook. Halo and Gears are also games and books I'm looking forward to as well. Gamers and art fans are being spoilt!

I went over Summer Game Fest and picked out 15 games that could get the artbook treatment in the future!

Final Fantasy VII: Revelations, Cuphead, Alien: Isolation 2, and more, are likely candidates, with others being less likely, but entirely possible. The shows have been great so far and I can see a wave of books heading our way.

After the State of Play I went over the games to see which are most likely to get the artbook treatment. I did this for the last SoP as well, and will likely do the same for Friday's Summer Games Fest presentation. It's a fun overview of what stands out based on the types of games shown and the studios history with previous artbooks.

There are some obvious picks here for Wolverine and God of War Laufey, but others have a shot too.

My monthly list of books to keep an eye out for is now up! This month I am tracking 8 releases, with comic and manga fans eating well in June. The month includes releases for Star Wars: A New Hope - The Manga, Andor, the One Piece series, and Swapped.

I'm personally excited for The Art of Star Wars: Andor, because those books are always fantastic and it was good to see the artbook series return this year. The rest of 2026 is filling up nicely too, there's a lot to look forward to!

Another month comes to an end, and so I have given an overview of the stories I have covered in my latest roundup. Cover updates, delays, Kickstarters, new reveals, and more, can be found this month. A lot of comic book stuff this time, but also some reveals for The Transformers: The Movie, Terraria, Faith, and One Piece.

Let me know what you think and kindly visit my website if you like it, all the stories came from there, but Google's AI push is threatening to kill all of its traffic and forcing it to shit down. I'm fighting to keep it going though! Find it here - www.artbookcollector.com

The upcoming artbook for Shovel Knight was due out next week, but at the finish line has been delayed all the way back to November 17th. It's very frustrating as this is an expanded edition of an already great book, but will now have over 100 extra pages and an upgrade to a hardcover. Hopefully it is the only delay for the book, but Udon have a habit of giving books multiple date changes
