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 Suicide Squad omnibus that does NOT exist – plus other DC Teams including Doom Patrol, Outsiders, Challengers of the Unknown, and more – 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 Challengers of the Unknown, Checkmate, Dial H, Doom Patrol, The Forever People, The Green Team, Immortal Men, Inferior Five, Metal Men, The Movement, New Gods, Night Force, The Outsiders, Power Company, Sovereign Seven, Stormwatch, Suicide Squad, The Terrifics, Trinity of Sin, Uncle Sam & The Freedom Fighters, Watchmen, & WildCATs.

Suicide Squad started 2025 with just one omnibus – a Silver Age Volume – and now they have three. That’s great progress, but there are still many more runs to collect, including the back 2/3rds of John Ostrander’s landmark reinvention of the team from 1987.

But what about other DC teams? We’ve got only one or two more Doom Patrol omnis left to produce, depending on how you count. The Outsiders and Challengers of the Unknown still have nothing. And there are tons of other DC teams and groups to cover, like Checkmate, Dial H, Power Company, The Terrifics, and more!

Note that the biggest teams – Justice League, Justice Society, Legion of Super-Heroes, and Titans (along with Young Justice) – all got their own posts, so they are not included here.

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.
