Blackest Night Omnibus 10th Anniversary collects DC's complete cosmic horror event in one 1664-page hardcover: the Black Lanterns rise, the emotional spectrum reaches crisis point, and Geoff Johns' Green Lantern era becomes a line-wide DC event. This edition is built for readers who want the main series, Green Lantern chapters and tie-in story material together without hunting scattered trades, with Ivan Reis, Doug Mahnke and Patrick Gleason giving the event the oversized superhero-horror scale it needs.

Blackest Night in full: after years of building the emotional Lantern spectrum (green will, yellow fear, red rage, violet love, blue hope), Johns introduces an eighth colour: the black of death. Black Hand awakens DC's dead as Black Lanterns. Most visually iconic event of the modern Green Lantern and peak of the Johns run.

The Hawkman Omnibus by Geoff Johns restores Carter Hall as a mythic, bruising presence in the DC Universe. Across 704 pages, Johns and James Robinson use reincarnation, archaeology and the fractured bond with Hawkgirl/Kendra Saunders to make Hawkman feel ancient, violent and emotionally trapped rather than simply another flying hero. The volume collects Hawkman #1-25, JSA #56-58 and Hawkman Secret Files, with artists including Rags Morales and Patrick Gleason giving the run its rugged, physical identity. This is a proper character-led omnibus, so Hawkman belongs as the main character and search hook.
