Marvel & DC Omnibus

The Sandman Omnibus Vol. 1 collects the first half of Neil Gaiman's landmark series — the story of Dream of the Endless, ruler of the realm of sleep, from his captivity and escape through the rebuilding of his kingdom. It is horror, myth, history and literary fantasy in one voice, and it made comics respectable as literature: issue #19, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," became the first comic ever to win a World Fantasy Award. Painted covers by Dave McKean, art by Sam Kieth, Kelley Jones, P. Craig Russell and more. The foundational Vertigo masterpiece in a single oversized volume.

Elseworlds: Batman Omnibus Vol. 1 collects alternate Batmen built from what-if energy: gothic reinventions, historical shadows, strange genres and versions of Bruce Wayne that reveal the core of the character by changing everything around him. The pleasure is seeing how flexible Batman becomes when Gotham is allowed to mutate.

Spider-Man 2099 Omnibus Vol. 1 throws Peter David and Rick Leonardi's future Spider-Man into a neon Marvel dystopia where corporations, identity and violence have replaced the familiar New York street-level rhythm. Miguel O'Hara is not Peter Parker in a new costume; he is a different kind of Spider-Man, born from a harsher future and forced to turn survival into responsibility.
