Green Lantern/Green Arrow: Hard Traveling Heroes Omnibus

The first murder in five hundred years, twenty billion suspects and one rookie Green Lantern a long way from home. N. K. Jemisin brings her science fiction to the City Enduring, a place that solved violence by chemically removing everyone's emotions, and asks what happens the day that stops working.

The Green Lantern by Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp Omnibus collects the run that treated the Corps as an interstellar police procedural: Hal Jordan works cases across the galaxy, each issue a self-contained piece of cosmic weirdness, drawn by Liam Sharp in dense painted detail.

Robert Venditti's Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps begins with the Corps lost in another universe and Hal Jordan operating alone, presumed a criminal. The run's central move is making Sinestro the establishment: his Corps polices the universe legally while the Green Lanterns are the fugitives. Venditti also writes the best Hal Jordan and Sinestro material since Johns, treating their relationship as two men who understand each other far too well.

Green Lantern by Robert Venditti Omnibus Vol. 2 follows the Corps under cosmic leadership pressure, shaped by war-scale decisions, spectrum politics and the cost of carrying a ring when every choice echoes outward. The appeal is seeing this DC period collected as one reading path, with its own tone, cast and visual rhythm.

Robert Venditti's first Green Lantern omnibus picks up after the Third Army, with Hal Jordan, John Stewart and Guy Gardner rebuilding a Corps that has just been decimated. Following Geoff Johns is a hard brief, and Venditti's answer is to break the thing Johns built: the spectrum destabilises, the rings stop being reliable, and Hal has to lead without the certainty the franchise was founded on. It is a more interesting response than continuing the formula.

Hal Jordan first wore a Green Lantern ring in 1959, in a reinvention that turned a 1940s crime-fighter with a magic lantern into science fiction with an interstellar police force behind it. This is where the mythology gets built piece by piece: Sinestro, Star Sapphire, the Guardians of the Universe and the idea that the ring runs on willpower. Gil Kane's figure work is the other reason to read it — he drew flight better than anyone in the era, and the designs have barely changed since.

Green Lantern: The Silver Age Omnibus Vol. 1 focuses on Hal Jordan's Silver Age mythology, with Green Lantern shaped by the ring, the oath, the Corps, alien threats and sharp heroic design. The appeal is not only continuity; it is watching a specific DC period find its tone, cast and visual rhythm.

Green Lantern by Geoff Johns, collected complete as a pack of 3 oversized omnibus volumes and cheaper than buying them one by one. Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 1 is the modern rehabilitation of Hal Jordan and the launchpad for the emotional spectrum era. Rebirth brings Hal back, Sinestro Corps War expands the conflict and the Corps becomes cosmic mythology again. Ethan Van Sciver, Ivan Reis and Carlos Pacheco help define the visual scale, while Johns builds the architecture that leads toward Blackest Night. Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 2 moves the run into Blackest Night, where the emotional spectrum faces death itself. Hal Jordan and the Lantern Corps are pulled into a cosmic war against the Black Lanterns, with DC's dead rising across the universe. Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 3 closes Johns' Lantern saga around resurrected heroes and villains, the rebuilt Corps and the New 52 stretch of Hal Jordan's story.

Batman: Sword of Azrael Deluxe Edition collects the origin of Jean-Paul Valley, the assassin conditioned from birth by the Order of St. Dumas and destined to wear the cowl. Written by Dennis O'Neil and drawn by a young Joe Quesada, it is the book that set up Knightfall — and the reason the man who replaced Batman was never going to give the job back quietly.

The Question by Dennis O’Neil & Denys Cowan, collected complete as a pack of 2 oversized omnibus volumes and cheaper than buying them one by one. The Question by Dennis O'Neil & Denys Cowan Omnibus Vol. 1 collects the acclaimed late-1980s reinvention of Vic Sage — the faceless investigative-journalist vigilante who directly inspired Watchmen's Rorschach. After a near-fatal beating by Lady Shiva, Vic is trained by Richard Dragon in martial arts and Zen, turning a rigid crusader into a man who questions his own methods. It's a mature, philosophical crime drama set in corrupt Hub City, praised for O'Neil's literary writing and Cowan's expressionistic art — including issue #17, where Vic reads Watchmen and confronts his own successor. The Question by Dennis O'Neil & Denys Cowan Omnibus Vol. 2 concludes the acclaimed run on Vic Sage — the faceless philosopher-vigilante of Hub City. It collects the final issues of the 1987 series plus the follow-up material: The Question Quarterly, the Green Arrow team-up annuals, The Brave and the Bold and later specials. O'Neil and Cowan bring their mature, Zen-inflected crime drama to its close, deepening Vic's introspection and his war on a broken city. The essential second half of one of DC's great late-1980s runs.

The Question by Dennis O'Neil and Denys Cowan is a martial-arts crime series about a faceless journalist who gets beaten nearly to death in issue #1 and has to learn how to fight. O'Neil writes Vic Sage as a man doing philosophy badly and improving at it, with Richard Dragon training him and Zen koans opening every issue. Cowan's Hub City is one of the ugliest and most convincing fictional cities in comics. It is a genuinely adult book that DC has never quite replicated.

The Joker’s Bronze Age stories capture the character after camp has curdled back into danger. The smile is still theatrical, but the menace grows sharper, with creators like Dennis O’Neil, Martin Pasko, Irv Novick, Jim Aparo and José Luis García-López shaping a Joker who can be absurd, stylish and genuinely frightening in the same breath.

The second Bronze Age Justice League omnibus covers the early 1970s, when the team left their secret New England cave for a satellite in orbit and the stories went cosmic. This is where the JLA/JSA team-ups settle into their yearly rhythm and the multiverse becomes a working part of DC's storytelling rather than an occasional gimmick. It is also the era that established the League as DC's legends rather than just its biggest team.

Justice League of America: The Bronze Age Omnibus Vol. 1 opens a more textured era for the League, still heroic and direct but increasingly shaped by shifting casts, social unease and a DC universe learning to carry more continuity. Gardner Fox, Dennis O'Neil, Len Wein, Mike Friedrich and Dick Dillin bridge classic team adventure with a richer 1970s mood.
