Bryan Hitch

The Authority Omnibus Vol. 1 is the book where WildStorm superhero comics became widescreen, ruthless and politically charged. Across 984 pages, Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch establish a team that does not wait for permission to save the world, while Mark Millar and Frank Quitely push the concept into even more confrontational territory. This is a team omnibus, so The Authority belongs as its main entity: Apollo, Midnighter, Jenny Sparks, Jack Hawksmoor and the rest function as one aggressive idea about power and intervention. The description and metadata should sell that identity, not flatten the book into generic DC action.

JLA by Mark Waid Omnibus defines the League through trust, contingency and impossible-scale pressure. Tower of Babel remains the core idea: Batman knows how to stop everyone, and the team has to survive that knowledge without breaking apart. Year One and Heaven's Ladder broaden the shelf beyond one famous storyline.

Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch's Ultimates reimagined the Avengers for the post-9/11 world — a government-sponsored super-soldier program with real-world weight, moral ambiguity, and geopolitical consequence. Hitch's widescreen cinematic approach changed how superhero comics were drawn and directly influenced every Marvel film that followed. This is the run that Hollywood adapted into the MCU's Avengers. Collects The Ultimates #1–13 and The Ultimates 2 #1–13, the complete Millar/Hitch run.

Captain America Lives! — Ed Brubaker's triumphant conclusion to the Death of Captain America storyline, featuring Steve Rogers' return to life and the shield. This omnibus collects the Reborn miniseries and its aftermath, as Brubaker orchestrates one of the most satisfying character returns in comics history. The reunion of Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, and the supporting cast Brubaker spent years building pays off spectacularly, with Bryan Hitch delivering some of the most stunning Captain America artwork ever committed to the page.

Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch's Fantastic Four run applied the same widescreen action cinema approach the pair had pioneered in The Ultimates to Marvel's First Family — massive scale, cinematic set pieces, and a villain (the Old Power-wielding Skulls) designed for maximum visual spectacle. The run also contained one of comics' most emotionally effective death-and-legacy storylines, as Millar used the threat to the team's future as an opportunity to examine what the Fantastic Four's legacy would be if they were gone.

The final chapter of the original Excalibur series, collecting the team's last adventures before the book's cancellation and relaunch. The roster continues to evolve with new members while classic relationships are tested. Bryan Hitch and Salvador Larroca provide dynamic art as the team faces threats from both the multiverse and closer to home. This omnibus also includes the Colossus one-shot exploring Peter Rasputin's grief after Illyana's death, New Mutants: Truth or Death, the Kitty Pryde Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. mini-series, and X-Men: True Friends — a Kitty and Rachel time-travel story by Claremont. It's a comprehensive collection that brings closure to one of the most distinctive X-Men spinoffs ever published.
