Dan Jurgens

DC Versus Marvel Omnibus brings the rare cross-publisher meetings back into one oversized volume: Superman and Spider-Man, Batman and Captain America, the X-Men and Teen Titans, Punisher crossovers and the DC/Marvel battles that were out of print for decades.

In 1992 DC killed Superman and the story made the evening news. Thirty years later this edition collects it as a single book. Doomsday is the rare villain who works precisely because he has no personality, no motive, no dialogue, just forward motion, and the escalating panel counts across the final issues are one of the smartest formal tricks in mainstream comics. Whatever you think of the stunt, it is the best-selling comic story ever published.

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.

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 Death and Return of Superman is not just the day Superman falls; it is the whole shockwave after the fall. Doomsday turns the fight into a public wound, Metropolis has to imagine a world without Clark Kent, and four new figures step into the empty space where Superman used to stand. This omnibus keeps the event, grief and rebirth together as one huge DC turning point.

The second Dan Jurgens Action Comics omnibus continues his Rebirth run, with Superman balancing a family, a legacy and threats that keep escalating. Jurgens writes Superman as a working father, which is the version he has always been best at, and the run keeps returning to the question of what Clark owes Jon. The Mr. Oz storyline, the mystery of who has been watching Superman since Rebirth began, resolves here, and the answer is one DC had been holding for years.

Superman: Action Comics by Dan Jurgens, collected as a pack of 2 oversized omnibus volumes and cheaper than buying them one by one. 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.

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 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.

Futures End was DC's 2014 weekly series, set five years after the present day in a future the New 52 was heading toward. The Five Years Later month is the interesting experiment: every DC book skipped ahead simultaneously, showing where each character ended up, and then went back. Some of those futures were later made canon and some were quietly dropped, which makes the volume a snapshot of DC's plans at a specific moment.

DC Versus Marvel: The Amalgam Age Omnibus collects the 1996 crossover in which the two universes fought, plus the Amalgam books — a full month of comics from a merged reality where Batman and Wolverine are one character called Dark Claw, and Superman and Captain America are Super-Soldier. A genuine one-off in comics history, collected complete.

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.

When time itself comes under attack, it will take the combined efforts of history's greatest heroes to save the entire DC Universe! EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT THE DC UNIVERSE IS UNDER ATTACK. THE UNIVERSE WILL BE SHAKEN TO ITS VERY FOUNDATIONS... AND THEN REBUILT. In 1985, DC Comics dramatically altered comics' original universe with Crisis on Infinite Earths--an unforgettable, defining event in comics history that streamlined the DC Universe continuity.
