Marvel & DC Omnibus
curated USA editions
for European collectors

Batman: Beyond the White Knight The Deluxe Edition continues Sean Murphy's White Knight universe, jumping forward to a Neo-Gotham where an older Bruce Wayne must reckon with what his methods built. Murphy writes and draws it himself, and this edition adds the Red Hood chapters covering Jason Todd's lost years.

Batgirl: Year One Deluxe Edition collects Scott Beatty and Chuck Dixon's retelling of how Barbara Gordon talked her way into the cape, drawn by Marcos Martin in one of the most admired art jobs of its decade. It is light, fast and genuinely joyful, which is rare for a Bat-family origin.

The first Star Wars comic begins with A New Hope, then has to invent what comes next before the saga has rules. Luke returns to Tatooine, Vader hunts for answers, and Han and Chewbacca cross paths with Crimson Jack, Beilert Valance and Jaxxon on the road to The Empire Strikes Back.

Green Lantern Corps by Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason, collected as a pack of 2 oversized omnibus volumes and cheaper than buying them one by one. Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason wrote Green Lantern Corps as a workplace book: the Corps as an interstellar police force with shifts, politics and casualties. Tomasi and Gleason are the reason the Corps works as an ensemble rather than as Hal Jordan's supporting cast: Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner get genuine arcs, and the alien Lanterns are written as people with jobs. It runs alongside the Johns material and covers the parts his book had no room for. The second Green Lantern Corps omnibus covers Blackest Night and its aftermath from the Corps' point of view, away from Earth and from Hal Jordan. The Corps takes the worst of Blackest Night, their own dead rise, and they are the ones who buried them, and this volume carries the emotional weight the main event could not. Kyle Rayner's arc in particular is the best material the character has ever had, and it is largely absent from the Green Lantern omnibus editions.

Bill Mantlo and Michael Golden created Marvel's Microverse: Commander Arcturus Rann, Marionette, Bug and Acroyear fleeing the tyrant Baron Karza across a universe hidden inside our own. This pack collects the original Marvel run in two oversized omnibus volumes — space opera, rebellion and some of the most inventive art of its era, long out of print and now collected together.

Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema turned a toy licence into one of Marvel's great cult sagas, and this pack collects the original run in two oversized omnibus volumes. Rom, greatest of the Spaceknights of Galador, lands in small-town America to hunt the Dire Wraiths, shape-shifting invaders hidden among humanity, having traded his own humanity for cybernetic armour and a two-hundred-year war. A founding cult classic that spent decades out of print, now collected in two volumes.

The animated-continuity Batman comics, collected as a pack of 2 oversized omnibus volumes and cheaper than buying them one by one. The Batman Adventures was the comic spun off from Batman: The Animated Series, written for the same audience and, as it turned out, for everyone else too. Mad Love alone justifies the volume: Paul Dini and Bruce Timm's Harley Quinn origin, which won an Eisner and became the version DC has used ever since. The rest is the animated house style at its best, clean, self-contained stories that work for a child and hold up for an adult, which is rarer than it sounds. The Batman & Robin Adventures followed The Batman Adventures, continuing the animated-series comic after Robin joined the cast and the show's design changed. The Lost Years is the reason collectors chase this: it fills the gap between the original series and The New Batman Adventures, explaining where Dick Grayson went and how Tim Drake arrived. The rest is the same discipline as the first omnibus, short, complete stories with no continuity homework, aimed at any age.
