Superman: Action Comics by Dan Jurgens Omnibus Vol. 2

Injustice began as a tie-in to the fighting game and became one of DC's longest-running alternate universes, built on a single irreversible act: the Joker tricks Superman into killing Lois Lane and their unborn child. Injustice works because it takes its premise seriously: the heroes who side with Superman have reasons, and the ones who oppose him lose. It is the most accessible DC alternate universe on the shelf, with no continuity required, and this omnibus replaces three years of scattered digital-first collections with a single volume.

The work Kirby left Marvel to make. Four interlocking series about warring gods, free will and tyranny, built as a single story with a beginning and an end, and the book that brought Darkseid into the DC universe.

Superman: The Triangle Era, collected complete as a pack of 3 oversized omnibus volumes and cheaper than buying them one by one. Superman: The Triangle Era Omnibus Vol. 1 begins DC's 1990s weekly Superman machine, where Action Comics, Adventures of Superman, Superman and Man of Steel function as one coordinated reading order. The numbered triangles turn the line into a continuous serial rather than separate titles. Jurgens, Ordway, Stern and Simonson build the dense ecosystem that leads toward Death of Superman and the most interconnected Superman publishing era. Second volume with the central arcs of the Triangle Era experiment: the time when editorial coordination between the four Superman titles was at its creative peak, with weekly crossover sagas and consequences that spanned months. The heart of an entire decade of the character's history, culminating in the run-up to the Death of Superman. Roger Stern, Dan Jurgens, and Louise Simonson write complementary threads that reward reading in publication order. The most ambitious Superman publishing experiment ever attempted. Superman: Triangle Era Omnibus Vol. 3 keeps the 1990s Superman machine moving through linked weekly storytelling, where Clark's personal life, Metropolis, supporting cast and superhero threats all feed into one another. Dan Jurgens, Louise Simonson, Roger Stern, Jon Bogdanove and Tom Grummett make the line feel like a living city.

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.

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.

Phillip Kennedy Johnson's Superman sends Clark Kent to Warworld, powerless, to free a population that has never heard of him. The Warworld Saga is the best-reviewed Superman run in years and its premise is unusually hard: a Superman with no powers, no sun and no way home, who has to organise rather than punch. Superman and the Authority by Grant Morrison is here too, which is where the volume's setup comes from.

Superman: Our Worlds at War Omnibus Vol. 2 focuses on DC's war-scale Superman event, with Superman shaped by cosmic conflict, grief, heroism under pressure and the cost paid by people around Superman. The appeal is not only continuity; it is watching a specific DC period find its tone, cast and visual rhythm.

Superman: Our Worlds at War Omnibus Vol. 1 throws Superman and the wider DC universe into a conflict big enough to feel like a real planetary crisis. Joe Kelly, Doug Mahnke and the Superman line use cosmic scale to test Clark's role as protector when the threat is not just a villain, but war itself.

This volume closes the Clone Saga and Ben Reilly's full run as the one true Spider-Man, ending with Revelations, the storyline that killed Ben, brought back Norman Osborn and reset Peter Parker as the hero. It gathers the four 1996-97 Spider-Man ongoings plus Redemption and The Osborn Journal in one oversized hardcover, the definitive way to read the end of the 1990s Spider-Man era in order.

The Triangle Era is the name collectors give to the period when Superman's four monthly titles were numbered as one continuous weekly story. This third volume covers the aftermath of his death. This is Reign of the Supermen: four claimants to the name, none of them clearly Clark Kent, and a mystery that ran across every title for months. Hunter/Prey is the sequel to the death itself. It is the most commercially successful Superman story ever published, and the triangle numbering means it only reads properly collected like this.

The second Heroes Return omnibus takes Dan Jurgens' Thor to its end, through the storyline where Thor conquers Earth and rules it. The Reigning arc is the reason to own this: Thor decides humanity would be better governed than protected, takes over, and Marvel lets him hold the position for a year and a half. It is a genuinely uncomfortable run, and the ending — Ragnarok, and Asgard's deliberate destruction — is one of the few permanent endings the character has had.

Thor returned from Heroes Reborn in 1998 with Dan Jurgens writing and John Romita Jr. drawing, and a new premise: Thor bonded to a paramedic named Jake Olson. Jurgens' run rebuilt Asgard's supporting cast from scratch and introduced the Thor/Jake Olson dynamic that carried the book for years. It is also the most accessible Thor era of its decade: no prior reading required, and the mortal identity gives the god somewhere to come back down to.

Dan Jurgens returned to Superman for DC's Rebirth initiative in 2016, at a moment when there were two Supermen in continuity and neither the reader nor the characters knew why. Jurgens had written the Death of Superman twenty-five years earlier, and Rebirth let him write the reunion: a Superman with a wife and son, restored after five years of a version DC had struggled to sell. The mystery of the second Clark Kent is also the cleanest piece of continuity repair DC has managed.
