Marvel & DC omnibus editions

Marvel's 2024 vampire event complete in 1,360 pages: Blood Hunt #1-5 by Jed MacKay and Pepe Larraz, the Free Comic Book Day prelude and the tie-ins across Spider-Man, Avengers, Doctor Strange and more. Standard edition with Larraz's cover.

The book that finally brings Marvel's cult Micronauts back into print from the very first issue. Bill Mantlo built a full cosmic mythology out of Mego's toy line, and Michael Golden's landmark art made it one of the most striking Marvel debuts of its era. This first omnibus gathers the run's opening arcs, from the flight out of the Microverse to the Baron Karza war, long expensive and hard to find on the back-issue market.

Late-period Kirby with nobody editing him: a giant red tyrannosaur and a proto-human boy, told with total conviction and no irony whatsoever. Short, strange, and the purest example of what Kirby did when left alone with an idea.

The concluding half of Marvel's Bronze Age cult favourite: Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema drive Rom the Spaceknight's war against the Dire Wraiths to its finish, exposing the shapeshifters' invasion across the wider Marvel Universe before Rom finally regains his humanity. Long out of print in single issues, the Rom run stayed unreprinted for decades due to licensing, making this omnibus the only complete way to own the ending.

The epic climax of Marvel’s classic saga of the Spaceknight! Rom has exposed the vile Dire Wraiths hiding in Earth’s midst — but that only means his accursed enemies become more bold…and more deadly! It’s a good thing Rom has allies, including his armored companion, Starshine, and fellow heroes including Nick Fury, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, Alpha Flight and the New Mutants — but will perennial sidekick, Rick Jones, be his new best pal?

This second omnibus opens with the explosive six-part origin of the Microverse, then follows Commander Rann and his rebels as they race to find three keys and stop the mad King Argon, cross into the X-Men's Danger Room pursued by the metamorph Huntarr, and confront the returning Baron Karza. It gathers the deep-cut stretch of Bill Mantlo's cult run that Marvel kept out of print for decades, drawn by Pat Broderick, Gil Kane and Butch Guice.

The continuing adventures of the sci-fi cult sensation Micronauts, reprinted for the first time ever! As Bill Mantlo reaches the end of his groundbreaking creative run, he pulls out all the stops! The Micronauts must once again wage war with Baron Karza, though this time there may be no winning for the people of Homeworld.

Daken: Dark Wolverine collects Daniel Way and Marjorie Liu's work on Logan's son — a character who possesses all of Wolverine's physical gifts and none of his moral constraints, making Daken simultaneously the most dangerous and the most psychologically interesting Wolverine spin-off character. Way introduced Daken as an antagonist in his Wolverine run before Liu took the character into genuinely unexpected psychological territory, exploring what a lifetime of weaponized trauma produces in someone with Wolverine's DNA but none of his father's redemptive arc.

Spider-Woman has one of the most complex histories in Marvel, built on retcons and reinventions. This 1,320-page omnibus goes back to the start: Jessica Drew's first appearance in 1977 and the whole of her first solo series. The official Marvel listing collects Marvel Spotlight (1971) #32, Marvel Two-in-One (1974) #29-33, Spider-Woman (1978) #1-50, Avengers (1963) #240-241 and Avengers Annual (1967) #10.

Namor the Sub-Mariner is one of Marvel's oldest characters — predating the Marvel Universe itself, created by Bill Everett in 1939. The original Prince of Atlantis stories by Stan Lee and Everett represent the foundation of the character: imperious, morally ambiguous, simultaneously hero and antagonist to the surface world. At , Volume 1 of the Namor Omnibus is one of Marvel's most substantial archival collections.

The Sentry arrived in 2000 as Marvel's answer to a question the universe had never asked: what if there was a Superman-level hero who had always existed, but everyone had forgotten him? Paul Jenkins constructed the concept as a mystery, as much psychological thriller as superhero comic. 1,128 pages running from the original Jenkins miniseries through to Sentry (2024). Art by Jae Lee on the original series.

The other Claremont. Everyone knows the sixteen years on Uncanny X-Men; this collects what he was writing everywhere else across four decades, including the first Captain Britain series and a stretch of Doctor Strange. It is the volume that shows the range behind the reputation.

Before Watchmen Omnibus collects all ten prequel series DC published to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen, in one oversized hardcover. Whatever you think of the idea, the talent assembled is extraordinary: Darwyn Cooke on Minutemen and Silk Spectre, Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo on Rorschach, J. Michael Straczynski on Dr. Manhattan, plus Amanda Conner, Adam Hughes, Joe Kubert and Jae Lee.

Seven Soldiers by Grant Morrison Omnibus collects the most structurally ambitious thing Morrison ever attempted at DC: seven separate four-issue miniseries about seven unconnected heroes, bookended by two specials, which together tell one story none of the protagonists ever realise they are in. Shining Knight, Zatanna, Klarion, Guardian, Mister Miracle, Bulleteer and Frankenstein.

Sleeper Omnibus collects the complete Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips noir thriller, including its Point Blank prologue. Holden Carver is embedded inside a criminal organisation, and the only man who knows he is not really a traitor is in a coma. Every month the cover holds, the cover becomes more true.

Y: The Last Man Omnibus collects all sixty issues of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's Eisner-winning series in one oversized hardcover. Every male mammal on Earth dies in the same instant except Yorick Brown and his monkey, and what follows is part road movie, part political thriller and mostly a study of how people rebuild.

100 Bullets Omnibus Vol. 2 collects the second half of the series, where the Trust, the Minutemen and Agent Graves stop circling each other and the conspiracy resolves into open war. It also includes the full Brother Lono sequel. The ending is one of the most complete in crime comics.

Young Justice Omnibus Vol. 1 collects Peter David and Todd Nauck's run, in which Robin, Superboy and Impulse form a team with no adult supervision and considerably less competence than the Teen Titans. It is the funniest sustained superhero book DC published in the late nineties, and the direct source of the animated series.

Legion of Super-Heroes by Mark Waid and Barry Kitson Omnibus collects the relaunch that reframed the Legion as a youth movement: thousands of teenagers across the galaxy following an ideal, with the actual team as its public face. It is the most accessible entry point the Legion has ever had.

Gary Kwapisz takes over as the main artist and gives the magazine a rougher, dirtier Hyborian Age than Buscema's. Collects the eighth run of The Savage Sword of Conan, written by Roy Thomas and Michael Fleisher with art by Gary Kwapisz, Ernie Chan and John Buscema.

Michael Green co-wrote Blade Runner 2049 and then went back to fill in the years between the two films, following a blade runner who walks away from the job rather than finish it. Collects the complete Blade Runner 2019 series by Michael Green and Mike Johnson with art by Andres Guinaldo.

Marvel turns its own universe into the punchline. Across the complete run of What The--?!, the Fantastic Four, Punisher, Doctor Strange, Thor, Captain America and Man-Thing are pulled apart by creators who know the originals well enough to parody every costume, catchphrase and continuity habit.
