Avengers By Jonathan Hickman Omnibus Vol. 2

Geoff Johns and Olivier Coipel's Avengers era follows the Busiek/Pérez period with early-2000s stories such as World Trust, Red Zone, Search for She-Hulk, Lionheart of Avalon and Once an Invader. It is a bridge shelf between classic-modern Avengers and the next wave of Marvel team books, with Coipel bringing clean scale and expressive superhero drama to the run.

New Avengers by Bendis Omnibus Vol. 2 follows the rebel Avengers after Civil War, as the team works from the shadows while Skrull infiltration, the Hood's criminal army and Norman Osborn's rise push Marvel's 2000s event era forward.

The first Avengers omnibus collects the founding of Marvel's premier super-team from their debut in 1963 — Stan Lee and Jack Kirby establishing the team concept, the first roster shuffles, and the foundational mythology that made the Avengers the umbrella concept for Marvel's entire publishing line. These early issues include the first appearances of classic Avengers antagonists, the Hulk's departure from the team, and the introduction of Captain America as the team's moral center.

Secret Invasion is the Marvel event that made paranoia the plot. Brian Michael Bendis spent years seeding Skrull replacements across the Avengers titles before the full infiltration exploded into a line-wide crossover. The premise — any hero could be a Skrull — destabilized reader trust in every character simultaneously. Collects the core Secret Invasion #1–8 limited series, plus key tie-in issues from New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, and the Secret Invasion: Who Do You Trust? one-shot.

No Surrender was Marvel's 2018 weekly Avengers event — a 16-part storyline published weekly across four months with rotating creative teams coordinating to tell a single continuous story. The Grandmaster and the Challenger wager on an Avengers-related game using Earth as the board and the Avengers as unwitting pieces, with the team simultaneously dealing with an escalating global crisis while their members fall one by one. No Road Home followed as a direct sequel, a nine-issue weekly series sending the Avengers into a mythological realm to recover a cosmic object stolen from Nyx, goddess of night.

Rick Remender's Uncanny Avengers launched immediately after Avengers vs. X-Men as the flagship title of Marvel NOW! — a Unity Squad of Avengers and X-Men working together to fulfill Charles Xavier's dream of human/mutant coexistence, led by Captain America and Havok. Remender used the format to address the damage Cyclops's actions had done to the mutant cause, positioned Havok as a controversial spokesperson for a post-AvX mutant identity, and built toward the Apocalypse Twins storyline — a massive alternate future/time-travel epic where the villains literally won.

Avengers by Busiek & Pérez Omnibus Vol. 2 pushes the run into its most intense phase, with Ultron Unlimited turning superhero spectacle into a story about horror, survival and what the Avengers mean when the enemy has already won. Pérez gives the team scale and emotion without losing the human cost of the attack.

Kurt Busiek and George Pérez rebuild Avengers as a character-led team book after the turmoil of the 1990s, restoring scale, continuity and emotional clarity without making the run feel like nostalgia alone.

Ultimate Marvel by Jonathan Hickman Omnibus collects his original 2010–2012 run on the first Ultimate Universe — not the 2024 relaunch, but the acclaimed earlier work that planted its seeds. Ultimate Comics Ultimates is geopolitical, high-concept superhero storytelling on a world scale: the rise of the hyper-accelerated posthuman "City," the collapse of nations, and the turn of Reed Richards toward the villain he will become — the Maker. With Ultimate Thor and Ultimate Comics Hawkeye alongside, drawn by Carlos Pacheco, Esad Ribić and more. The run that Hickman himself would later build the new Ultimate Universe from.

Jonathan Hickman's Secret Wars is the culmination of his entire five-year Marvel run — from SHIELD to Avengers to New Avengers — compressed into a single reality-ending event. When the multiverse collapses, Doctor Doom remakes existence in his own image. Battleworld is the result: a patchwork planet of Marvel's greatest alternate realities, ruled absolutely by a god named Doom. Collects the complete Secret Wars #1–9 main series (), plus key tie-ins.

Before Battleworld, there was the end of everything. Jonathan Hickman's New Avengers run introduced the concept of incursions — parallel Earths colliding and destroying each other — and built the philosophical and moral framework that made Secret Wars inevitable. This omnibus collects the prelude material that transforms the Illuminati into reluctant architects of extinction. Collects New Avengers #1–33 and Avengers #35–44, the core incursions storyline.

Jonathan Hickman's SHIELD reimagines the Marvel Universe's secret history as a millennia-long conspiracy. The premise: SHIELD has existed since ancient times, and Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Isaac Newton, and Galileo were all agents who fought off alien invasions, cosmic threats, and dimensional incursions long before Nick Fury. It's high-concept historical fiction wrapped in Marvel iconography. Collects SHIELD #1–6 and SHIELD vol. 2 #1–6 ().

Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman Omnibus Vol. 2 pays off the architecture of Hickman’s family-and-future saga, with the Future Foundation, the Council of Reeds and the Richards family all pushed toward consequences that feel cosmic and intimate at once. It is big-idea Marvel rooted in a very human household. For a Fantastic Four shelf, the appeal is the family engine: exploration, ego, affection and scientific danger all matter because the team is a household before it is a brand.

Jonathan Hickman's Fantastic Four run established his Marvel career's defining mode — massive, architecturally complex narratives with years-long payoffs, introduced through the Council of Reeds (alternate universe versions of Reed Richards who had solved every problem and abandoned their families) and the War of Four Cities that pitted the Kree, the Inhumans, the High Evolutionary's creations, and the Kree's counter-faction against each other simultaneously. This is Hickman operating at maximum ambition before the Avengers work that followed.

Jonathan Hickman's Avengers Vol. 1 launches his massive, interlocking Avengers/New Avengers run — one of the most ambitious sustained narratives in Marvel history, building across four years toward Secret Wars. This first volume establishes the Avengers as a planetary defense system responding to universal-scale incursion threats, while simultaneously in New Avengers the Illuminati discover that parallel Earths are colliding and destroying each other, a phenomenon called incursions that will eventually consume the entire multiverse.

X-Men by Jonathan Hickman Omnibus collects Hickman's X-Men ongoing after House of X — the mutant nation of Krakoa in action, with rotating creative teams and Hickman's signature long-form storytelling. X-Men by Jonathan Hickman Omnibus collects the X-Men ongoing series (issues #1-21) launched after House of X — the mutant nation of Krakoa fully operational, with rotating creative teams (Leinil Francis Yu, Mahmud Asrar, R.B. Silva, Jonathan Hickman) each delivering standalone or short-arc stories within Hickman's overarching framework. Cyclops as family man on the moon. The Summoner and Arakko introduced.
