The Green Lantern by Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp Omnibus

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.

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.

It is a more interesting response than continuing the formula. 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.

Green Lantern: The Silver Age, collected as a pack of 2 oversized omnibus volumes and cheaper than buying them one by one. 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. 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.

Geoff Johns spent nine years on Green Lantern, starting by bringing Hal Jordan back from the dead and ending with a cosmology of coloured emotions that DC still uses. Rebirth is the cleanest resurrection story DC has published, it explains a decade of Hal Jordan's villainy without dismissing it, and the Sinestro Corps War is where Johns' emotional spectrum first pays off. This volume takes the franchise from cancelled backwater to DC's second-biggest line.

The third and final Johns omnibus covers Brightest Day, the New 52 relaunch and the arrival of Simon Baz, closing a run that had reshaped the franchise entirely. The last act is Johns' most ambitious: Sinestro wearing a green ring, Hal Jordan stripped of his, and the Guardians deciding the Corps was a mistake all along. The New 52 issues are also unusual in that they ignore the reboot almost entirely, which lets Johns finish the story he started in 2004 on his own terms.

PRH presents this as Grant Morrison's bold New 52 reimagining of Superman. The run starts from a more raw, early-career Man of Steel and builds toward stranger, larger threats without losing the idea of Superman as a social and moral force. This is the compact shelf for Morrison's New 52 Superman: part origin energy, part cosmic experiment, part statement about what Superman means when the myth is rebuilt from the street upward.

Grant Morrison and Mark Millar wrote The Flash together in the late nineties, immediately after Mark Waid, with Wally West already established as the fastest man alive. The Human Race is the standout: an alien gambler challenges the Flash to a race across the universe with Earth as the stake, and Morrison writes it as pure high concept. The Black Flash, death itself, running to catch up, is the other lasting idea, and DC has used it ever since.

Batman by Grant Morrison, collected complete as a pack of 3 oversized omnibus volumes and cheaper than buying them one by one. Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 1 opens Morrison's Batman saga with Batman & Son, The Black Glove and Batman R.I.P. It introduces Damian Wayne, pushes Bruce Wayne through psychological pressure and starts the larger mystery that reshapes the Dark Knight across three omnibus volumes. Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 2 follows the saga after Batman R.I.P., with Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne operating as Batman and Robin while Bruce Wayne fights his way back through time. It collects the middle movement of Morrison's run, where legacy and identity become the main engine of the story. Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 3 closes Morrison's Batman project with Batman Incorporated. Bruce Wayne turns Batman into a global network, drawing allies around the world into the fight against Leviathan and pushing the symbol far beyond Gotham.

Grant Morrison took over X-Men in 2001 and rebuilt it as science fiction about a species: the school opened to hundreds of students, mutants became a culture with fashion and drugs, and the costumes went black. Morrison's premise is that mutants are winning demographically and nobody has noticed, which reframes the whole franchise. Genosha's destruction in the first issue kills sixteen million people and the book never lets you forget it. Frank Quitely, Igor Kordey and Chris Bachalo draw it, and every X-Men run since has been either extending this or reacting against it.

Grant Morrison spent seven years on Batman treating every story ever published as canon, including the ones nobody wanted to remember, and then built a single argument out of all of it. Morrison's premise is that a man who has survived everything published since 1939 would have to be extraordinary, and Batman R.I.P. is the stress test. Damian arrives here as an insufferable ten-year-old assassin and leaves as one of DC's most valuable characters. Everything in the Bat-books for the next decade starts in this volume.

The middle third of Morrison's run is the part where Bruce Wayne is not in it: presumed dead, travelling backwards through history while Dick Grayson wears the cowl. Dick and Damian invert the classic dynamic, a light Batman and a violent Robin, and it is the most purely enjoyable stretch of the run. Frank Quitely draws the opening. Putting the two series in reading order is the reason to own this: published separately, the two halves kept explaining each other out of sequence.

This omnibus gathers the twenty-first century Phoenix stories: every attempt Marvel has made to bring Jean Grey back, and the event that used the Force as a weapon against the Avengers. Grant Morrison's Here Comes Tomorrow, Avengers vs. X-Men and Phoenix Resurrection in one volume is a genuinely useful pairing: the first imagines a future without her, the second turns five X-Men into gods, and the third finally brings the original Jean back after fourteen years. It is the complete modern argument about the character.

The final third of Morrison's Batman is Batman Incorporated: Bruce Wayne going public as the franchise's financier and recruiting a Batman for every country. The idea, that Batman's real superpower is money and organisation, is the most modern thing anyone has done with the character. It also ends with Damian's death, which Morrison had been building toward since the first volume and which DC did not undo for years. This is the payoff of the whole seven-year argument.
