Hawkman by Geoff Johns Omnibus rebuilds Carter Hall around reincarnation, ancient violence and a love story that never arrives cleanly. Geoff Johns, Rags Morales and the art team turn Hawkman into a hero haunted by all the lives he has already lived, with wings that feel as much like a burden as a weapon.

Earth 2: The New 52 Omnibus Vol. 1 follows an alternate DC world after its icons are gone, shaped by legacy, war, replacement heroes and families trying to grow in the wreckage. The appeal is seeing this DC period collected as one reading path, with its own tone, cast and visual rhythm.
