Amazon has updated the description of the book LEGO DC Character Encyclopedia New Edition expected in May 2022 and we now know the character who will be inserted in the cover: it is a minifig of Val-Zod in Earth-2 version, as it appears for the first time in the Earth 2 comic # 19 published in 2014. We also know that a series around the character produced by Michael B. Jordan is being written for the streaming platform HBO Max.
The character is new at LEGO, the minifig is announced as exclusive to the book and the pad printing seems frankly successful. So there's no good reason not to afford this update to the DC Character Encyclopedia.
The year 2022 will, as usual, be loaded with various and varied activity books under the official license of LEGO and the publisher. AMEET has put its catalog online of references planned for next year. There are many more or less interesting works among which the titles below which are accompanied by minifigs already seen in official sets or new and exclusive constructions which could possibly interest collectors because some of these figurines will be notably more affordable. than via the sets in which they are already found:
- LEGO Ninjago Build and Stick: Dragons, a 48-page activity book including 4 comprising 260 stickers and 49 elements that will allow you to assemble three different exclusive dragons imagined by the LEGO designers. (pre-order at Amazon, available June 1, 2022)

This selection of titles to be published is not exhaustive, you can consult the publisher's 2022 catalog in its entirety. at this address.
2022 will be the year of the update of the encyclopedia of characters LEGO DC Comics with the publication announced of an updated version of the work initially published in 2016. This new book entitled LEGO DC Character Encyclopedia New Edition will bring together on 200 pages a little more than 200 characters about which the author will present as usual some facts, statistics and other anecdotes. It will be especially the occasion to obtain a new exclusive minifigure.
The cover used for the promotion of the book is provisional and the location reserved for the figurine does not currently allow to confirm which character it is. We can imagine that it will be Klarion Bleak, the character being mentioned at the end of the book's pitch in the company of Bronze Tiger whose figurine is delivered in the set 76160 Batman: Mobile Bat-Base. If the publisher mentions this character and it does not come in any box in the LEGO DC Comics range by the time of the release of this encyclopedia update, then there is a good chance that it will be the exclusive minifigure supplied.

This new work is already in pre-order at Amazon at the price of 19.78 € with a publication date announced for May 3, 2022. If you are late, other books on the same theme accompanied by exclusive minifigs are still available:

Notice to collectors of exclusive minifigs: it will be possible to add an unpublished "Rock Star" to your collections from June 14, 2022 with the publication of a new book dedicated to the series of collectible minifigs entitled Meet The Minifigures.
Regarding the book itself, publisher Dorling Kindersley's pitch promises "fun facts" and other anecdotes spread over the 128 pages:
|

The English version of the book LEGO Ninjago Character Encyclopedia New Edition has been available since March 2021, the French version entitled Updated and Expanded Character Encyclopedia finally arrives on October 22.
As for the original edition, the French version accompanied by the exclusive minifigure "Future Nya"brings together on 224 pages a selection of about 200 characters with various anecdotes and other facts:
| Find in this encyclopedia all the minifigures imagined for adventures in the incredible world of LEGO Ninjago: -ZX version, kimono, techno, tournament, deepstone, destiny, fusion, armor, digi and even gold, more than 10 years of evolutions of your favorite ninjas, - All friends of ninjas: Master Wu, Misako, PIXAL, Dareth, and even the postman… - Lord Garmadon, the Anacondra, Morro, The Silent, the Ice Emperor, the Skull Sorcerer… all the worst villains and their henchmen. |
The book can also be useful for minifig collectors who would like to know which set a specific version of a character appears in.
Those who have had the patience to wait for a possible localized version will therefore be rewarded, I am thinking especially of the youngest fans of the Ninjago universe who do not necessarily master English to the point of being able to be satisfied with the English version of the work. The price difference between the two editions is reasonable, so there is no reason to go without a more accessible version.
