Supergirl: The New 52 Omnibus

Supergirl: The Silver Age Omnibus Vol. 1 is Kara Zor-El's historical foundation, built around secrecy, adolescence, Kryptonian legacy and the challenge of becoming a hero while living in Superman's shadow. The appeal is not modern decompression but origin texture: Linda Lee, hidden powers, family loss and the gradual construction of Supergirl as her own DC figure. For a character shelf, this is the place where Kara's long publishing identity really begins.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow The Deluxe Edition collects Tom King and Bilquis Evely's eight-issue western in space, told by a teenage girl named Ruthye who hires Supergirl to help her hunt her father's killer across the galaxy. Kara is not the narrator, and seeing her through someone else's eyes is exactly what makes the book work. Evely and colourist Mat Lopes produced some of the most beautiful pages DC has published this decade.

Kara Zor-El spends the second half of the New 52 run angry enough to be handed a Red Lantern ring, which is exactly as bad an idea as it sounds. Red Daughter of Krypton is the stretch where the series finally works out what to do with a Supergirl who does not want to be a symbol.

A girl hires Supergirl to help her hunt the man who killed her father, and the journey across eight worlds turns into an argument about whether revenge is worth what it takes. King and Evely wrote the Supergirl story the film was built on, and it is a western more than a superhero comic.

Supergirl by Peter David Omnibus Vol. 1 collects the run that turned Supergirl into something genuinely strange: a shapeshifting protoplasmic being merged with a troubled human girl, forced to share one body and one conscience. Peter David wrote it for eighty issues and it is unlike any other Supergirl.

Superman/Batman, collected as a pack of 2 oversized omnibus volumes and cheaper than buying them one by one. Superman/Batman Omnibus Vol. 1 is built around the simplest DC contrast and one of its strongest: Superman and Batman together, friends despite everything that should make them opposites. Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness lean into scale, speed and iconography, making the partnership feel huge without losing the personal spark. Superman/Batman ran for eighty-seven issues on a simple format: the two characters narrating the same events in alternating captions, each convinced the other is doing it wrong. The dual narration is the reason the book works, the reader sees both men misreading each other in real time. This second volume includes the Sons of the Father arc and the Annuals, which are self-contained stories by rotating creative teams and among the most enjoyable single issues DC published that decade.
