Omnibus Reading Guides
Reading orders and roadmaps for every character.
Gardner Fox Omnibus: The Complete Collector's Guide
He invented the superhero team, the shared universe and the multiverse. Three ideas the entire industry now runs on, all from one writer nobody mentions.
Read article →Bill Finger Omnibus: The Complete Collector's Guide
He named Gotham City, wrote the origin, designed the cowl and got no credit for seventy-five years. Twelve omnibus on this shelf and his name is on none of the covers.
Dennis O'Neil Omnibus: The Complete Collector's Guide
The writer who took Batman back from television camp and made him frightening again. Everything dark about the character since 1970 starts on this shelf.
Jeph Loeb Omnibus: The Complete Collector's Guide
The Long Halloween and Hush sit on this shelf, which makes it one of the most bought and most argued-about in Batman collecting.
Joe Kelly Omnibus: The Complete Collector's Guide
He wrote the Deadpool run that gave the character a personality instead of a gimmick, and one of the saddest Spider-Man issues ever printed.
Michael Lark Omnibus: The Complete Collector's Guide
The artist who draws superhero comics as if they were police procedurals. Gotham Central, the Brubaker Daredevil, and no capes flapping heroically anywhere.
Chuck Dixon Omnibus: The Complete Collector's Guide
The most productive Batman writer of the 1990s. He built the Gotham that Knightfall broke, and most of the supporting cast modern Batman still runs on.
Marvel Complete Collection vs Omnibus: Which Format to Buy
Same stories, very different objects. What Complete Collection actually is, where it beats an omnibus, and where it will cost you more in the end.
Gil Kane Omnibus: The Complete Collector's Guide
He designed the Silver Age Green Lantern, drew the death of Gwen Stacy, and worked on both sides of the industry for forty years. The widest shelf of any artist here.
David Michelinie Omnibus: The Complete Collector's Guide
He co-created Venom and wrote the story where Iron Man is an alcoholic. Two of Marvel's most durable ideas, from a writer most buyers cannot name.
Larry Hama Omnibus: The Complete Collector's Guide
A Vietnam veteran who wrote Wolverine as a soldier rather than as a berserker, and gave him the origin every version since has used.
Dave Cockrum Omnibus: The Complete Collector's Guide
He designed the X-Men you know. Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus and the costume Wolverine has worn ever since all came off his drawing board.
