Joe Kelly's Amazing Spider-Man run is one of the most emotionally varied of the modern era. He moves effortlessly from the hilarious Deadpool team-ups — still considered among the best Deadpool stories ever written — to the devastating Rhino story that became one of fandom's most discussed single issues, to the brutal Grim Hunt arc where Kraven's family hunts down every spider-hero. Kelly understands Peter Parker's voice perfectly. Art by Ed McGuinness and Chris Bachalo at their most dynamic.

The continuation of Superman/Batman with new creative teams: Mark Waid, Michael Green, and Dan Abnett explore new facets of the duo. Stories ranging from humour to cosmic drama, maintaining the chemistry that defines DC's two greatest heroes. Includes Supergirl's origin story continuation, stories exploring the alternate universes of both heroes, and team-ups that push the partnership to its limits. Each writer brings their own interpretation while maintaining the core dynamic that makes this the central DC buddy book.

The focused duo: Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness unite Superman and Batman in a series celebrating their friendship and fundamental differences. Public Enemies sees President Lex Luthor turn the world against both heroes, forcing them to work together while being hunted by every government-sanctioned hero on Earth. Supergirl's arrival reimagines Kara Zor-El for the modern DC era. McGuinness delivers massive, kinetic artwork that makes every action sequence feel genuinely epic. Adventures that only work when DC's two greatest heroes team up.

The explosive conclusion to Our Worlds at War collects the all-out battle against Imperiex and Brainiac-13 across the entire DC Universe. Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, the Teen Titans, Young Justice, and virtually every hero face annihilation in this universe-defining event written by Jeph Loeb, Joe Kelly, Phil Jimenez, Joe Casey, Mark Schultz, and Ed Brubaker with art by Ed McGuinness, Doug Mahnke, Mike Wieringo, and Kano. At 1,080 pages, this volume delivers the full scope of the war's devastating climax and its lasting consequences for the DC Universe. One of the most ambitious Superman crossovers ever collected.

Joe Kelly's Deadpool run is the creative moment that transformed a 90s mercenary character into something genuinely literary — Kelly introduced the fourth-wall awareness as a systematic device, gave Deadpool his signature voice, and wrote the first truly great Deadpool story in issue #11's time-travel team-up with the Golden Age hero, which remains one of the most moving single issues in the character's history. Kelly balanced comedy and tragedy in a way that no subsequent writer has fully replicated, and his Deadpool is the template against which every later run is measured.

Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr. launch a new Amazing Spider-Man era with Peter Parker carrying a mysterious secret that has shattered his relationships with Mary Jane, the Avengers, and everyone he loves. The run deliberately withholds the reveal to build maximum tension — a storytelling choice that divided readers but kept discussion alive for months. John Romita Jr. returns to the character that made him famous, delivering his most energetic work in years. 896 pages of divisive, impossible-to-ignore Spider-Man.
