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

May 21, 2025 by krisis Leave a Comment

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 omnibus – 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.

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

May 19, 2025 by krisis Leave a Comment

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 Robin, Red Hood, & Nightwing 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 Robin, Red Hood, & Nightwing omnibus that does NOT exist – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

When it comes to Batman’s sons, only one of them has had a good year in omnibus – Dick Grayson AKA Nightwing. Yet, even with a pair of Rebirth era omnis out for Dick this year, all of his pre-Flashpoint material remains uncollected in everyone’s favorite oversize format save for one Bronze Age volume as Robin.

Meanwhile, Tim Drake and Damian Wayne have no solo omnis to show for themselves, and Jason Todd as Red Hood has just one (which was reprinted this year, so maybe DC is teeing up for a second one)!

If you want to see Batman’s boys in oversize format, you need to vote for their books!

Every Missing Aquaman 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 Aquaman omnibus that does NOT exist – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

Aquaman isn’t historically a strong seller for DC in collected editions. Even a pair of films didn’t prompt DC to release any omnibuses to support them.

As a result, we have just two Aquaman omnibuses to date – his historic and much-beloved mid-90s run by Peter David, and Geoff Johns scripting him at the start of Flashpoint. That’s it! No Golden, Silver, or Bronze Age material. Nothing from the 2000s. And, nothing from after Johns’ run.

If you want to see more Aquaman omnibuses from DC in the future, a vote on this poll is one of the only ways to let them know aside from buying the remaining copies of that Peter David book!

DC Teams: Birds of Prey, Titans, & Suicide Squad Omnibus Mapping for the Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus 1st Annual Poll

It’s time for a team-up! All of the remaining team-ups, to be precise. I’ll be loosely mapping missing and most-wanted DC omnibus volumes every day until May 19th! Then, on the 19th, I’ll be joining with Near Mint Condition to launch the first annual Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus Annual Poll! This post covers every DC team we haven’t covered so far, including mapping for Birds of Prey, Legion of Super-Heroes, Outsiders, Titans, Suicide Squad omnibus volumes – and much, much more!

This post explains potential DC Teams omnibus mapping for votes on the Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus 1st Annual Secret Ballot. I’m posting all of these maps before the poll begins to give people the time to consider their favorites, correct our mapping mistakes, and catch books I might have missed.

Here’s the full list of the teams and groups this post covers: Birds of Prey (including Black Canary!), Challengers of the Unknown, Checkmate, Dial H for Hero, Doom Patrol Legion of Super-Heroes, Metal Men, New Gods, Outsiders, Power Company, Sovereign Seven, Stormwatch, Suicide Squad, The Terrifics, Titans & Young Justice, Trinity of Sin, and even Watchmen!

If you don’t know DC well enough to know what to vote for, stick around for my explanations! Learn why the team behind the poll decided on these books and titles – including giving us feedback if we missed the mark.

If voting is now open, you can use this as your crib sheet! Or… just find some great comics to read!

Remember: These mappings are just my suggestion of how DC could assemble these books. They are meant to help you decide on your votes and build your personal reading list, but your vote on the poll is NOT an endorsement of my specific map. It’s a vote in favor of DC creating a book with that title or covering that period.

High-effort, heavily-researched, over-the-top comics posts like this one are made possible via the support of Patrons of Crushing Krisis. For less than the cost of a single comic issue a month you can fuel my in-depth comics coverage, plus gain access to dozens of exclusive collecting guides & reading orders – including all of the Crushing Comics Guide to DC Comics.
