Suicide Squad: The New 52 Omnibus collects the violent, mission-driven Task Force X run built around Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark and Amanda Waller. Across 856 pages, the book follows disposable villains sent into impossible operations where survival is part reward and part manipulation. This is not a clean heroic team book: its appeal is pressure, mistrust and the way the New 52 turns DC criminals into weapons for the state. Adam Glass, Andy Lanning and Dan Abnett keep the squad unstable, messy and dangerous, which is exactly why the book should sit under Suicide Squad as a team entity rather than under any single member.

The continuation of Superman/Batman with new creative teams: Mark Waid, Michael Green, and Dan Abnett explore new facets of the duo. Stories ranging from humour to cosmic drama, maintaining the chemistry that defines DC's two greatest heroes. Includes Supergirl's origin story continuation, stories exploring the alternate universes of both heroes, and team-ups that push the partnership to its limits. Each writer brings their own interpretation while maintaining the core dynamic that makes this the central DC buddy book.

Following the original Annihilation wave, the Marvel cosmic universe faced a second devastating threat: the Phalanx, a techno-organic collective seizing control of the Kree Empire and everything beyond. Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning crafted the event that would define cosmic Marvel for a generation.

When Annihilus led his Annihilation Wave out of the Negative Zone, the Marvel cosmic universe was never the same. Keith Giffen orchestrated a sprawling, brutal war story that swept away decades of status quo and repositioned characters like Nova, Silver Surfer, and Drax as serious cosmic powerhouses. This omnibus collects the complete Annihilation saga — the prologue one-shots, the Silver Surfer, Super-Skrull, Nova, and Ronan tie-in miniseries, and the main six-issue Annihilation event series.

Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning built the modern Guardians of the Galaxy from scratch in 2008, assembling a team from the wreckage of the Annihilation and Annihilation: Conquest cosmic events. The DnA Guardians — Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Gamora, Drax — were a deliberately makeshift team held together by necessity rather than destiny. This run is the direct creative source for the James Gunn films. Collects Guardians of the Galaxy #1–25, the complete DnA run, plus key tie-in issues.

This companion omnibus to the core Guardians run collects the broader cosmic story material of the DnA era — the Tomorrow's Heroes material that shows the Guardians operating within a larger cosmic Marvel framework. Abnett and Lanning were simultaneously writing Nova, Annihilation, and the Guardians, creating an interconnected cosmic universe that had no real precedent in Marvel publishing.
