Marvel & DC omnibus editions

The Legion always assumed the 30th century was a utopia. Five Years Later opens with the utopia gone, the team disbanded and the survivors older, poorer and compromised. Giffen and the Bierbaums rebuilt the series as dense political science fiction and split the fanbase permanently.

The second half of the Five Years Later run takes the Legion through the Terra Mosaic and into the reboot that ended it. The Bierbaums keep writing after Giffen leaves, Stuart Immonen arrives as an artist nobody had heard of, and the series finishes by rewriting its own continuity out of existence.

Atrocitus builds a corps out of pure rage, gives some of them their minds back, and immediately regrets it. Milligan and then Charles Soule take the least promising Green Lantern spin off and turn it into a book about anger as an addiction, complete with a cat that is genuinely one of the best characters DC created that decade.

Shade arrives from Meta wearing a dead man's body to fight the madness spreading through America, and the woman travelling with him is the daughter of the family his host murdered. Milligan and Bachalo turned a Ditko creation into the strangest road trip Vertigo ever published.

The second omnibus follows Shade past the point where the madness stops being outside him. Milligan keeps changing the format, the body and the narrator, and the run finishes as one of the few Vertigo series that got to end exactly how its writer wanted.
