Every Missing Superman Family Omnibus, Mapped – Superboy, Supergirl, & More! | 2025 Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus Poll

It’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 Superman Family omnibus – including Superboy and Supergirl – 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.

This post covers Jimmy Olsen, Jon Kent, Lois Lane, Powergirl, New Superman, Steel, Superboy, Supergirl, and Superwoman.

Superman’s family of characters collectively just have one exclusive omnibus – this year’s Supergirl: The New 52 omnibus (although some Jimmy Olsen material is in Fourth World by Jack Kirby).

With Superman about to have one of his biggest years of all time and Supergirl with her own movie en route, we might finally see some of this material in omnibus… although DC seems perfectly content to complete it in paperback if we don’t signal to them otherwise with our votes.

Superman has an interesting history in omnibus. Prior to 2020, DC was hyper-focused on collecting his Golden age run – and the only other omnibus was Death and Return of Superman! Then, in the 2020s, DC got slightly more adventurous – but not much. They hit a few major modern runs, but Superman still had barely any coverage in omnibus.

Finally, with a potential hit movie on the horizon, in the past two years DC has gotten series about collecting Superman! Not only have they finally cracked into the much-demanded Triangle Era, but they’re also getting more aggressive about his post-Flashpoint material.

Even with leaps and bounds of improvement in DC’s release schedule, the potential for future Superman omnibuses continues to be a wide-open field. Your votes could meaningfully point DC into the right direction for their 2026 and 2027 slates of books.

Every Missing Teen Titans Omnibus, Mapped | 2025 Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus Poll

It’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 Teen Titans omnibus that does NOT exist – plus Young Justice! – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

The Titans are a DC team with a massive amount of recognition and brand appeal, thanks to many fans growing up with the characters over the past 50(!) years and many of them finding their way into screen adaptations from many kid cartoons to a grim live action series.

However, when it comes to omnibuses, DC has a lot of work to do on the Titans line! We have the Silver Age covered, and the first massive swath of 80s material completely collected (re-collected, actually), but after that we just have Peter David’s Young Justice and a single Geoff Johns volume that leaves a series incomplete.

To check out all of those existing omnibuses, and to see how this material is already collected, see the Guide to Titans, Teen Titans, and Young Justice.

Every Missing Legion of Super-Heroes Omnibus, Mapped | 2025 Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus Poll

It’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 Legion of Super-Heroes omnibus that does NOT exist – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

If there is one title that I think we messed up pretty thoroughly on the inaugural Tigereyes last year, it was Legion of Super-Heroes. And, that’s all on me.

Rest assured, we covered almost every Legion issue in our maps. But… did the titles make sense? Because, as I always say, this is a titles poll, not a mapping poll.

Imagine someone who has never read any X-Men looking at the X-Men’s publishing history and trying to think of broad, descriptive summaries of each period. Would they make any sense to massive X-Men fans? We might get a book titled “Uncanny X-Men: Storm – Powerless” that was meant to stand in for Uncanny X-Men (1963) #185-227. Except, no X-Men fan thinks of that run that way, and few of them would want it to start there.

Well, that’s how the LOSH titles looked on last year’s poll. So, this year I turned to two of my favorite Legionnaires for their expertise (who happen to be two of my best comic-reading friends): Lars from Mad Norwegian Press and Jess from Omnidog’s Vault! I am confident that this year we have covered even more issues, plus titled each book the way Legion fans will appreciate… although I don’t expect them all to agree. X-Men fans certainly don’t!

See the Guide to Legion of Super-Heroes for a era-by-era, series-by-series breakdown of the complete history of the LOSH based on how it has been collected to date.

Every Missing Justice League Omnibus, Mapped | 2025 Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus Poll

It’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 Justice League omnibus that does NOT exist – and DC’s Trinity in omnibus – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

Justice League is one of DC’s marquee properties to collect in omnibus, but that doesn’t meant there are no gaps to fill.

We have perfect coverage of the Pre-Crisis era save for one (or maybe two) volumes. And, Post-Crisis kicks off with three stunningly-mapped volumes. However, after that things get shaky for nearly 20 years until we hit New 52.
