Marvel & DC Omnibus

Atrocitus builds a corps out of pure rage, gives some of them their minds back, and immediately regrets it. Milligan and then Charles Soule take the least promising Green Lantern spin off and turn it into a book about anger as an addiction, complete with a cat that is genuinely one of the best characters DC created that decade.

Easy Company fights its way across Europe and nobody comes home a hero. Joe Kubert drew Sgt. Rock for thirty years and the stories he wrote himself are the hardest of them, war comics that refuse the adventure and keep asking what the men are actually for.

Shade arrives from Meta wearing a dead man's body to fight the madness spreading through America, and the woman travelling with him is the daughter of the family his host murdered. Milligan and Bachalo turned a Ditko creation into the strangest road trip Vertigo ever published.

The second omnibus follows Shade past the point where the madness stops being outside him. Milligan keeps changing the format, the body and the narrator, and the run finishes as one of the few Vertigo series that got to end exactly how its writer wanted.

A student writing an essay about a forgotten fictional character discovers she has become that character, and that the place she comes from is made entirely of imagination. Alan Moore uses Promethea to teach the reader magic on purpose, and J.H. Williams III rebuilds the page layout for every single issue.

The middle volume is where Promethea stops being a superhero comic and becomes a guided walk up the Tree of Life, one sephirah per issue, with Sophie and Barbara talking their way through creation. It is the most formally ambitious stretch Moore has written for a monthly comic.
