Elektra & Daredevil Omnibus Mapping | 14th Annual Tigereyes Most-Wanted Marvel Omnibus Poll

Once every year, thousands of Marvel collectors from around the world gather together online to watch Near Mint Condition and vote on their most-wanted omnibus titles. That time approaches – time for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 14th Annual Secret Ballot! This post explains every Daredevil omnibus for material that has not yet been collected comprehensively in omnibus – all of which will appear as options on the 2026 poll.

Plus, I’ll also cover all of Elektra’s solo material!

As one of the organizers of the poll, I work closely with Tigereyes and a team of Mapping Minties to be sure Marvel’s entire publishing history has been mapped, with every issue fitting somewhere into an omnibus volume to fill your oversize Marvel shelf. Then, we’ll kick off the poll on Near Mint Condition on March 22, 2026.

Daredevil is back on screen with the second season of his Disney+ series. Maybe that was Marvel’s motivation for giving us a pair of classic Daredevil omnibuses in 2026 to narrow the gap in his coverage prior to the 90s to just one book! This year we’ll be seeing Daredevil Omnibus Vol. 4 as well as Daredevil by Nocenti & Romita Jr. Vol. 2.

While that leaves us just one Daredevil omnibus left to print prior to the 90s, we still need a pair of books to close out the 90s, some companion volumes for his well-collected 2000s material, and a collection of his most-recent run (though I don’t think anyone is in a hurry for that one… more of my thoughts on that below).

Read this post and others in the series for a list of titles and omnibus mappings created by a group of the biggest collected edition enthusiasts on the internet. Every map is informed by Crushing Krisis comic guides and over a decade of polling data as explained by yours truly – keeper of the most-definitive guides to Marvel’s collected editions on the planet, including my Guide to Daredevil and Guide to Elektra.

Even if you don’t own a single omnibus, you can use this post to learn about Marvel’s history of material and find great comics to read physically or digitally!

This post covers the following speculated omnibus volumes:

• Bronze Age Daredevil
  • Daredevil by O’Neil, Miller, & Mazzucchelli (1983 – 1986) [fills gap from Miller to Nocenti]
• Daredevil in the 90s
  • Daredevil by D. G. Chichester (1991 – 1995) [follows Nocenti]
  • Daredevil by DeMatteis, Kesel, Kelly, & Lobdell (1995 – 1998) [follows Chichester; #333 to end of series]
• Modern Daredevil
  • Daredevil Companion Vol. 1 (2000 & on) [AKA Bendis & Brubaker Companion AKA Daredevil: Unusual Suspects]
  • Marvel Knights: The Defenders of NYC (2000 – 2003 & 2018) [Marvel Knights ongoings, Double Shots minis, 20th anniversary]
  • Jessica Jones & the Defenders of NYC by Bendis (2004 – 2018) [AKA Alias Vol. 2, includes Pulse, JJ (2016), & Defenders (2017)]
  • Daredevil by Saladin Ahmed (2023 – 2025) [could include Elektra Daredevil minis]
• Elektra
  • Elektra: The Early Years (1981 – 1998) [AKA by Milligan, Hama & Deodato, plus early material]
  • Elektra: Marvel Knights by Bendis, Rucka, Rodi, & Morse (2001 – 2004) [includes Redeemer]
  • Elektra: The Modern Years (2004 & on)

Remember: These titles and mappings are a suggestion of how Marvel could assemble these books. They are meant to make the books easy to find and to vote for. Your vote on the poll is a vote in favor of Marvel creating a book with that title or covering that period, NOT an endorsement of a specific mapping. Maps are presented as a proof of concept and to help you build your personal reading list.

Daredevil Omnibus Mapping: Bronze Age Daredevil

Daredevil’s line of Silver Age omnibuses got the latest start of almost any Marvel hero, with a first volume out in 2017. The Silver Age wrapped up with Daredevil Vol. 2 in 2023, and the line pushed into the Bronze Age with Daredevil Vol. 3 in 2024 and met with the start of the Miller run with Vol. 4 out later in 2026. That’s all covered in See Guide to Daredevil.

What’s left to completely collect Daredevil from 1974 to the start of Ann Nocenti’s run in 1986? We’re now just one book away from complete coverage! Come on, Marvel – make it happen!

The existing and often-reprinted Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson omnibus fits here – see Guide to Daredevil.

Daredevil by O’Neil, Miller, & Mazzucchelli (1983 – 1986) [fills gap from Miller to Nocenti]

While we have the Daredevil by Frank Miller Companion to collect a handful of Daredevil (1964) material following Miller’s run, most of that period has never been collected in oversize format. This book would perfectly fill the gap from the end of Miller to the beginning of Nocenti, which includes all of the “Born Again” storyline.

A vote for this book is a vote to finally see all of Denny O’Neil’s run on Daredevil collected in oversize format in a book that perfectly fills the gap between the Frank Miller & Klaus Janson and Ann Nocenti Vol. 1 omnibuses.

This would collect Daredevil (1964) #192-234, Marvel Graphic Novel (1982) #24 – Daredevil: Love and War and material from Marvel Fanfare (1982) #7, 10-13, 15, & 27.

Daredevil Omnibus Mapping: Daredevil in the 90s

We now have Daredevil by Nocenti & Romita Jr. Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, which I feel deep in my soul is at least in part due to the persistent efforts of Tigereyes poll voters to keep Nocenti’s run at the top of the poll for the past decade. That means we need just a pair of further volumes to cover all of Daredevil’s remaining issues from the 1990s – see Guide to Daredevil.

Daredevil by D. G. Chichester (1991 – 1995) [follows Nocenti]

After the conclusion of Nocenti’s run, author D. G. Chichester took over Daredevil (1964) for a 40-issue run. This is the run that introduced the Black Suit, which is currently experiencing a surge of nostalgia with fans.

A vote for this book is a vote to collect all of Chichester’s run in a single volume, alongside a crossover and other contemporaneous material.

This would collect Daredevil (1964) #292-332 & Annual 7-10, the “Dead Man’s Hand” crossover (from Nomad (1992) #4-6 and Punisher War Journal (1988) #45-47), Daredevil/Black Widow: Abattoir (1993) OGN, Daredevil: The Man Without Fear (1993) #1-5, and material from Marvel Holiday Special (1991) #2 and Marvel Comics Presents (1988) #136 (4th story, “The Prisoner”)

It could optionally include Daredevil: Black Armor (2023) #1-4, written later by Chichester.

Daredevil by DeMatteis, Kesel, Kelly, & Lobdell (1995 – 1998) [follows Chichester; #333 to end of series]

We typically wouldn’t map three speculative volumes in advance on any line, but because of the very obvious ends of the Nocenti and Chichester runs plus the mapping of the Epic Collection line we know exactly with this final collection of Daredevil (1964) would contain.

A vote for this book is a vote to collect the final four years of Daredevil (1964) in a single volume.

This would collect Daredevil (1964) #333-380, -1, & Daredevil / Deadpool Annual ’97. It could optionally include Elektra: Root of Evil (1995) #1-4 (which is included in the Epic Collection line).

The Marvel Knights by Joe Quesada Omnibus directly follows the conclusion of Daredevil (1964) to collect the beginning of Daredevil (1998) – see Guide to Daredevil.

Daredevil Omnibus Mapping: Modern Daredevil

This is a wild sentence, but: every ongoing Daredevil series from 1998 to 2023 has already been collected in omnibus, except for 11 issues! We already have a pair of omnibuses for Bendis, a pair for Brubaker, a Shadowland omnibus, a pair for Waid, a huge volume for Soule, and a pair for Zdarsky! See Guide to Daredevil for all of those omnis!

So, what’s left? One omnibus of odds and ends, two for Daredevil’s occasional team appearances, and one for his recently concluded 2023 series by Saladin Ahmed.

Daredevil Companion Vol. 1 (2000 & on) [AKA Bendis & Brubaker Companion AKA Daredevil: Unusual Suspects]

The creator-focused mapping of Daredevil’s modern omnibuses means his many mini-series and one-shots have been almost completely ignored by existing volumes, which leaves aside how the two Echo-focused David Mack arcs of Daredevil (1998) have never appeared in a proper omnibus.

There’s actually too much of this material to fit into a single book – 77 issues! However, that doesn’t mean this omnibus would necessarily stretch to two volumes. There are six Elektra solo issues that might make more sense in her line. The 11 Echo issues might make more sense in an Echo-focused omnibus, and if we took that route we could also cover another four-issue mini-series there. Bullseye and Kingpig have 17 issues between them which don’t feature Daredevil throughout. And, 11 issues are explicitly set in non-canonical futures.

If we remove any two of those four options, this book becomes less than 60 issues – very possible!

Alternately, this could break into a specific pre-Marvel-Now companion book to Bendis & Brubaker, with a separate volume for post-2012 material.

However, trying to force these comics into smaller volumes that make more sense breaks one of cardinal rules of preparing this poll – that it’s a titles poll, not a mapping poll! There’s not an obvious grouping or breaking point for this book, so for our purposes it’s just all one big book.

A vote for this book is a vote to get some kind of companion omnibus that either has a core of the David Mack Echo material or the Bendis/Brubaker side material.

This book would begin to collect mini-series material left out of the Daredevil omnibus line, including Daredevil (1998) #20-25, #51-55; Daredevil/Spider-Man (2000) #1-4; Spider-Man/Daredevil (2002) #1; Daredevil: Ninja (2000) #1-3; Bullseye: Greatest Hits (2004) #1-5; Daredevil: Redemption (2005) #1-6; Daredevil vs. Punisher (2005) #1-6; Daredevil & Captain America: Dead On Arrival (2008) #1; Daredevil: Black & White (2010) #1; Bullseye: Perfect Game (2010) #1-2; Daredevil: Dark Nights (2013) #1-8; Kingpin (2017) #1-5; Bullseye (2017) #1-5; Elektra (2017) #1-5; Man Without Fear (2019) #1-5; Daredevil & Echo (2023) #1-4; Elektra (2022) #100; and Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell (2025) #1-3

Marvel Knights: The Defenders of NYC (2000 – 2003 & 2018) [Marvel Knights ongoings, Double Shots minis, 20th anniversary]

In the early 00s, Daredevil (1998) was the original anchor title of Marvel Knights – an imprint of Marvel comics headed by future Editor-in-Chief. Marvel Knights told in-continuity stories with a slightly indie, slightly mature flair that were focused on standing alone while still existing within canon.

As part of that imprint, in 2000 it launched a flagship title called “Marvel Knights” that was effectively a “NYC street-level heroes team-up” with a core cast of Daredevil, Black Widow, Punisher, & Dagger – but appearances by many more characters. That extended to brief second series in 2002 and spawned a pair of “Double Shot” team-up anthology mini-series that paired Marvel Knights characters with other heroes.

We’ve had a paperback complete collection of the initial 15-issue series billed as “Defenders of the Street,” but no collection of the other 14 issues. That’s a worth omnibus on its own, but it also makes sense to add Marvel Knights 20th (2018), which is a specific tribute to these titles. And, we could optionally also add Elektra: Glimpse & Echo (2002).

A vote for this book is a vote to collect all of the Marvel Knights team titles into a single book, some of which would be collected for the first time!

This book would collect Marvel Knights (2000) #1-15, Marvel Knights (2002) #1-6, and maybe also Marvel Knights Double Shot (2002) #1-4 & (2003) #1-4. It would also contain Marvel Knights 20th (2018) #1-6 as bonus material.

It could make sense to add Elektra: Glimpse & Echo (2002) #1-4, even though that would also be in an Elektra book or an Echo book.

Jessica Jones & the Defenders of NYC by Bendis (2004 – 2018) [AKA Alias Vol. 2, includes Pulse, JJ (2016), & Defenders (2017)]

This is primarily a Jessica Jones omnibus, but it includes a run where Daredevil is a member of a “Defenders” street-level team mirroring the cast of the Netflix MCU show.

This book focuses on every time Brian Bendis wrote Jessica Jones after the conclusion of Alias (2001). He did that in three series: The Pulse (2004), a Jessica Jones (2016) ongoing, and a short-lived Defenders (2017) title.

A vote for this book is a vote to collect all of Bendis’s post-Alias Jessica Jones into a single omnibus!

This would collect three distinct series by Bendis, plus some connective material.

First, The Pulse (2004), starring Jessica Jones (The Pulse (2004) #1-14, New Avengers (2005) Annual 1).

Then, connective material with Jones by Bendis from New Avengers (2005) #22, 38, 47-49, 58-60, & Annual 3, plus Marvel Assistant-Sized Spectacular (2009) #2 (2nd story).

Then, the pair of Jessica Jones (2016) #1-18 and Defenders (2017) #1-10, which is Bendis’s parting shot on the character.

Daredevil by Saladin Ahmed (2023 – 2025) [could include Elektra Daredevil minis]

This year we can add a new Daredevil book to the poll – the recently concluded (and much maligned) run by Saladin Ahmed.

This book is broadly considered to be the run that shattered Daredevil’s legendary 25-year hot streak as one of Marvel’s consistently best-written characters.

This run started strong with a supernatural bent and a seemingly anthology approach to battling the Seven Deadly Sins. Yet, that tight initial approach kept getting extended for more and more issues until that first arc finally stumbled to the finish with issue #19. At that point, the book had lost its shine and its fan support, and it stumbled through a brief follow-up arc to an ignominious finish.

Meanwhile, throughout this series, Elektra continued to headline her own string of mini-series as a second Daredevil. While these don’t tightly integrate into this run, they are referenced here as she comes and goes. However, her books introduce the wrinkle of one of them being a “Red Band” title with extra gore aimed at mature readers. We haven’t yet seen how Marvel will handle collecting these titles in oversize format outside of Blood Hunt (2024). Given the restriction on their audience, they might all need to be collected into a single tome.

This would collect Daredevil (2023) #1-25 and Giant-Size Daredevil (2024) #1, to which it could add Venom War: Daredevil (2024) #1 and Daredevil/Punisher: The Devil’s Trigger (2025) #1-5.

If it included Elektra material, it would also include Daredevil: Gang War (2023) #1-4; Laura Kinney: Wolverine (2024) #2-3; Daredevil: Woman Without Fear (2024) #1-4; and Daredevil: Unleash Hell – Red Band (2025) #1-5.

Daredevil Omnibus Mapping: Elektra

Elektra has just one omnibus, Elektra by Frank Miller & Bill Sienkiewicz, which primarily collects Elektra: Assassin (1986) – see Guide to Elektra. That leaves us with over 40 years of comics to collect… and we can likely do cover them in just three omnibuses!

Elektra: The Early Years (1981 – 1998) [AKA by Milligan, Hama & Deodato, plus early material]

This book would primarily collect Elektra (1996) by Milligan, Hama & Deodato. We’ve already had that material collected in a 480 page Complete Collection paperback, which would be slightly slim as an omnibus on its own.

Luckily, there is other material that would make sense to collect alongside it. First, this could include key issues from Frank Miller’s Daredevil run, including Elektra’s debut and her seeming death.

Then, it could include a few issues of her return in Daredevil (1964) and the Elektra: Root of Evil (1995) mini-series.

Next, it can include a brief run of Wolverine and X-Men issues that were her first exposure to the wider Marvel Universe after 15 years where she was exclusively a Daredevil character.

And, finally, it can collect Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #424 and the never-collected Peter Parker: Spider-Man / Elektra Annual ’98 – which was surprisingly skipped by the Complete Collection!

Optionally, it could also pull in Elektra: The Hand (2004) – only separated from this material by six years, but placed in the period between her death and return to explain her whereabouts.

A vote for this book is a vote to get all of Elektra’s first 20 years of comic book stories all in one place, with the exception of the already-collected Elektra: Assassin (1986).

This book would collect a handful of Miller issues (including Daredevil (1964) #168 & 181), issues from her return (including material from Daredevil (1964) #314-315) Elektra: Root of Evil (1995) #1-4, Wolverine (1998) #100-106, 102.5, Uncanny X-Men (1963) #332, Elektra (1996) #1-19 & -1, and Peter Parker: Spider-Man / Elektra Annual ’98.

It might optionally include Elektra: The Hand (2004) #1-5 to explain her resurrection.

Elektra: Marvel Knights by Bendis, Rucka, Rodi, & Morse (2001 – 2004) [includes Redeemer]

After her initial 1996 ongoing concluded in 1998, Elektra appeared in just three issues of Daredevil (1998) before returning in her own lengthy Marvel Knights ongoing series penned by Brian Bendis, Greg Rucka, & Robert Rodi.

Whereas the prior series was more about establishing Elektra as part of the Marvel Universe, this series was about giving her solo adventures on her own. It very much felt like a book establishing what she would do while off panel from appearing in Daredevil.

During the run of her series, Elektra also scored a pair of mini-series – one teaming her with the newly-created Echo, and another a illustrated prose story with Wolverine by Greg Rucka & famed Japanese illustrator Yoshitaka Amano. The latter wasn’t branded as Marvel Knights, but it’s complex approach to standalone storytelling certainly fit with the Knights line!

A vote for this volume is a vote to comprehensively collect Elektra’s three early-00s series, including collecting her complete Marvel Knights ongoing into a single book for the first time!

This would collect Elektra (2001) #1-35, Elektra: Glimpse & Echo (2002) #1-4, Elektra & Wolverine: The Redeemer (2002) #1-3, plus material from Marvel Knights Double Shot (2002) #3 (by Rucka & Greg Horn).

Elektra: The Modern Years (2004 & on)

After her stint as a Marvel Knights character, Elektra has had several solo stints in addition to appearances in Daredevil and her membership in the Marvel Now era Thunderbolts.

While her only ongoing title in this period is a terrific, often-overlooked 2014 series by W. Haden Blackman and Mike Del Mundo, she also has eight of her own mini-series, a pair of one-shots, and several featured arcs in other titles that primarily focus on her. That’s 40 issues of content even before we reach her rebranding as a second “Daredevil” during Chip Zdarsky’s run and subsequent string of mini-series by Erica Schultz.

That means even if we treat her “Daredevil” period as a unique, still-ongoing run that it’s too soon to collect, we still have a hefty omnibus of nearly 20 years of appearances before that – most of which are pretty great reads.

A vote for this book is a vote to collect all of Elektra’s post-2004 material in one place, which certainly includes all of her own series, but could possible also include her significant guest appearances.

This would collect Elektra: The Hand (2004) #1-5, Shadowland: Elektra (2010) #1, Dark Reign: Elektra (2009) #1-5, Elektra (2014) #1-11, Daredevil (2016) #6-7, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2016) #9, Uncanny Avengers [II] (2015) #15-17, Spider-Man 2099 (2015) #17-19, Elektra (2017) #1-5, material from Dark Reign Files (2009) #1, and possibly Elektra: Black, White & Blood (2021) #1-4.

It could continue to the “Elektra as Daredevil” material from Daredevil: Woman Without Fear (2022) #1-3 [effectively a Devil’s Reign tie-in series], Elektra (2022) #100, and Erica Schultz’s ongoing run of Elektra-as-Daredevil mini-series (Daredevil: Gang War (2023) #1-4, Daredevil: Woman Without Fear (2024) #1-4, Laura Kinney: Wolverine (2024) #2-3, Daredevil: Unleash Hell [Red Band] (2025) #1-5).
