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 Green Lantern 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.
If Batman is the obvious number one on the list of DC’s favorite comic lines to collect in omnibus, Green Lantern is in a race with The Flash for the number two spot.
Green Lantern got a relatively late start to the omnibus game, with his first modern material collected in 2015. Since then, we’ve had an explosion of books completely collecting Hal Jordan in the Silver Age, the Bronze Age, and in the decade from 2005-2015.
Yet, there’s still plenty left to vote on! We have a major Green Lantern gap in omnibus from 1979 to 2004, which includes Hal Jordan material as well as key stories for John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and Kyle Rayner. And, DC’s collections of that modern material have been slightly messy, so we need some companion volumes to clean up the orphaned material before we can start looking at comics from 2016 and beyond.
