Dan Jurgens

The landmark 1996 crossover between DC and Marvel, with readers voting by phone who won each fight. Spider-Man vs Superboy, Batman vs Captain America, Wolverine vs Lobo, Hulk vs Superman. It's the only official crossover between the two American comic book giants. This edition is the Direct Market Exclusive variant with cover by Jim Lee.

Dan Jurgens and Jerry Ordway relaunch the God of Thunder in 1998 with a clean-slate Thor that became the definitive post-Heroes Return era. This first omnibus collects the opening chapters of Thor (1998) #1–25 plus key annuals, reestablishing Asgard in a rebuilt New York and introducing Jake Olson as Thor's mortal host. Jurgens strips the concept back to its core and delivers blockbuster mythological action with a sharp modern sensibility. The volume captures the optimism of late-90s Marvel at its most ambitious, anchored by Jurgens' clean storytelling and Ordway's dynamic layouts. A foundational read for any collector of the Thunder God.

Spider-Man: Ben Reilly Omnibus Vol. 2 is the closing act of Ben as Spider-Man, and it should be sold honestly as a completion volume for Clone Saga readers. The appeal is the tension of an era trying to resolve itself: Ben fighting to own the mask, Peter Parker waiting in the, and Marvel pushing a complicated 1990s status quo toward its inevitable reversal. Messy, important and very specific to Spider-Man completists.
