Every Missing Batgirl, Black Canary, & Birds of Prey Omnibus, Mapped | 2025 Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus Poll

Most Wanted DC Omnibus - Birds of Prey Omnibus MappingIt’s time to map the DC Universe! In June, I’ll be joining with Near Mint Condition to launch the Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus 2nd Annual Poll! This post explains every Batgirl, Black Canary, & Birds of Prey omnibus that does NOT exist – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

Through the end of May I’ll be covering DC entire publishing history by mapping missing omnibus volumes to fill in every gap in your DC oversize shelf! That’s all leading to the kickoff of the Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus 2nd Annual Poll on Near Mint Condition the first week of June.

Finally, 2025 will bring us the first Birds of Prey omnibus! But, DC isn’t starting at the start – they’re jumping in at the middle with Gail Simone’s run. If you want to see the equally popular Chuck Dixon material that started the series… or anything from after Simone… you have to get to voting!

Meanwhile, Batgirl has a decent array of omnibuses on her own, but that’s just for Barbara Gordon as Batgirl. From the results of last year’s poll, I can tell you she’s not even the most popular of the three major Batgirls! And, Black Canary doesn’t have any solo omnibuses printed, but she could notch a few – as well as some duo books with Green Arrow.

Birds of Prey (2023) #21, a DC Comics May 7 2025 new releaseNext week is the 19th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics May 7 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics April 30 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Things get explosive for Birds of Prey, Absolute Braniac, New 52 omnis for Suicide Squad & Nightwing, Atom Project & Black Canary deliver their finales, Zdarsky’s final Batman collection, compact Kingdom Come, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Despite my heart beating faster just from thinking of reading Absolute Superman (2024) #7, this week I have to go with Birds of Prey (2023) #21 from Kelly Thompson, Sami Basri, Adriano Lucas, and Clayton Cowles! The script for issue #20 was nearly as good as the instant-classic script for #1, and the cliffhanger has had me wanting a follow-up all month long!

This post includes every comic out from DC Comics May 7 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.

A word of warning – despite overall loving DC’s output right now, this is probably my least-favorite release week slate from DC in each month. Buckle up for some ruthless reviews.

This isn’t the typical comic releases post you can find on other sites. Why? I explain each collection and review every in-continuity series with a new issue out this week. Plus, for most new releases, I’ll point you to a personally-curated guide within the Crushing Comics Guide to DC Comics to find out how to collect that title in full!

There’s no other website on the internet that can claim that.

This week in DC Comics: Absolute Al Ewing strips down the Lantern myth, a return to the original Elseworlds, Ram V’s rebirth of Resurrection Man, Atom Project blows up, a perfect Finest Peacemaker, Poison Ivy chooses between man and marsh, Secret Six’s strained queer relationships, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: This might be a bit of a dark horse pick over new Absolute books, a new arc of Birds of Prey, and the return of Resurrection Man, but my pick this week is Secret Six (2025) #2! Actor turned DC author Nicole Maines really captured my imagination with her first issue and Stephen Segovia is on a continued hot streak of arc after his recent work in the Spawn Universe. More below on why I’m so enamored with this book based on it’s first issue.

This post includes every comic out from DC Comics April 2 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.

Shazam (2023) #21, a DC Comics March 5 2025 new releaseNext week is the 10th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics March 5 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics February 26 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Dreamer joins the Secret Six, Shazam’s finale, a hunk of Tynion Batman in omnibus, Batgirl & The Birds of Prey, Teen Titans Go comes back, Plastic Man’s beginnings, Lakes vs Seas, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Despite my absolute fervor for The Nice House by the Sea (2024) #6, I have to give my pick to Shazam! (2023) #21 – the final issue of the series. Josie Campbell found the heart and humor in this title over the past year in a way that made me reconnect with a love I have for the Shazam family that I often can’t locate in DC’s sometimes cynical uses of the characters.

This post includes every comic out from DC Comics March 5 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.

The Krisis Pick of the Week: I hate to repeat myself, but I’ve got to stick with Absolute Superman (2024) #4. I think this Absolute Universe book from Jason Aaron, Rafa Sandoval, Ulises Arreola, and Becca Carey is the pinnacle of superhero comics right now. it would be at the top of my stack for the entire month, so of course it’s my top pull of the week!
