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

May 15, 2024 by krisis

Most Wanted DC Omnibus - Titans and Suicide Squad Omnibus MappingIt’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.

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – May 15 2024

May 10, 2024 by krisis

It’s the 20th new comic book day of the new year! This post covers DC Comics May 15 2024 releases, which actually hit comic stores on Tuesday May 14 2024. Missed last week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics May 8 2024 new releases.

(DC is still releasing their comics on Tuesday until the start of July, but I think most folks think of Wednesday as release day, so that’s how I’m labelling my posts until then.)

This week in DC Comics: all-new iconic Superman villains, an all-in Justice League omnibus, best-ever Poison Ivy, Blue Beetle swings big, Outsiders after the reveal, the House of Brainiac continues, Batman & Dylan Dog concludes, Hal reunites with the Corps, and more!

This list includes every comic and digital comic out from DC this week, plus collected editions including omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats. I recap and review every new single issue. Plus, for every new release, I’ll point you to the right guide within my Crushing Comics Guide to DC Comics to find out how to collect each character in full – and, if a guide is linked from this post, that means it is updated through the present day!

DC Comics May 15 2024 Collected EditionsAdventures of Superman: George Pérez 2024 hardcover, a DC Comics May 15 2024 new release

Adventures of Superman: George Pérez
(2024 hardcover, ISBN 978-1779525871/ digital)
See Guide to Action Comics (Post-Crisis, 1987 – Present) or Guide to Superman (Post-Crisis, 1987 – Present). This collects George Pérez’s work on Superman from two different transitional periods – from Action Comics in 1989 just after the year of “Action Comics Weekly” (and just before the Triangle Era), and his launch of Superman (2011) for DC New 52.

The late-80s material is much more compelling, but it’s just starting to be covered in omnibus right now – so the only reason to pick this up is if you’re a major George Pérez fan rather than a huge Super-fan.

Batman: Fortress
(2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1779525086 / digital)
DC’s solicit text calls this Gary Whitta & Darick Robertson mini-series an “Elsewords-style” story about Batman breaking into the Fortress of Solitude, which means it’s not in current DC continuity.

As a result, I haven’t caught up on this one – but I’ve seen it savaged by fans online. While we should all make up our own minds (when do I ever agree with fans online?), there’s also a surplus of fantastic Batman material right now – both in and out of continuity. For an easy-to-pick up Batman series, check out my rapturous reaction to Batman / Dylan Dog (2023), below.

Justice League International Omnibus Vol. 3
(2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1779525642)
See Guide to Justice League. This isn’t just an International omnibus, it’s a dream League omnibus. That’s because as this omnibus line has pressed on past the initial run of Justice League International it has collected everything Justice League in the Post-Crisis era. It collects Justice League America (1989), Justice League Europe (1989), and Justice League Quarterly (1990).

This volume adds some 00s era material by Keith Giffen, John Dematteis, & Kevin Maguire, which makes me slightly nervous this is a final volume. Fingers crossed that DC keeps up this all-in omnibus line – you can see the mapping in my Justice League Omnibus Mapping post from earlier this week!

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – April 10 2024

April 7, 2024 by krisis

It’s the 15th new comic book day of the new year, but it’s my first ever DC Comics New Releases post!! This post covers DC Comics April 10 2024 releases, which actually hit comic stores on Tuesday April 9 2024.

(DC is still releasing their comics on Tuesday until the start of July, but I think most folks think of Wednesday as release day, so that’s how I’m labelling my posts until it becomes official.)

This week in DC Comics: Rebirth Flash in Omnibus, House of Brainiac begins, the delightfully macabre Dylan Dog, Lanzing & Kelly’s Outsiders swings big, Dreamer vs Amanda Waller, and more!

These DC New Releases posts will be a work in progress. I’m 30 months behind on my DC reading, and some of my DC Guides are twice that far behind on updates. I thought it might be a good idea to do all my reading and updating before beginning this series of posts, but there’s no better way to catch up on all of that than diving deep into New Releases! Sometimes you’ve got to build the plane while you are flying it!

This list includes every comic and digital comic out from DC Comics April 10 2024, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats. For each new release, I’ll point you to the right guide within my Crushing Comics Guide to DC Comics to find out how to collect each character in full – and, if a guide is linked from this post, that means it is updated through the present day!

DC Comics April 10 2024 Collected EditionsThe Flash Omnibus by Joshua Williamson Vol. 1, released by DC Comics April 10 2024

DC vs. Vampires Vol. 2 [paperback]
(2023 hardcover, ISBN 978-1779521248 / 2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1779520296 /  digital)
Collects DC vs Vampires #7-12, part of James Tynion & Matthew Rosenberg’s vampire-focused Elseworld.

Detective Comics – Batman: Detective Comics Vol. 4 Riddle Me This [paperback]
(2023 hardcover, ISBN 978-1779520678 / paperback 2024, ISBN 978-1779524867 / digital)
See Guide to Detective Comics (Post-Crisis). DC still has a select number of titles where they released an initial hardcover and have a paperback staggered behind by nearly a year. That means this Detective Comics collection is still collecting material from before Ram V took over the book. Detective Comics (1937) #1059-1061 feature the arc directly following Mariko Tamaki’s weekly run of the entire Bat-Family (minus Bruce) starring in the book, plus a Sina Grace back-up story.

The Flash By Joshua Williamson Omnibus Vol.1
(2024 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1779526984)
See Guide to Flash. I really enjoyed this DC Rebirth Flash series, although after the first year of double-shipping it began to chase its own tail a bit. However, this omnibus collects just some of that first year burst of brilliant fun from Flash: Rebirth (2016) Rebirth & #1-35, the “The Button” crossover with Batman (2016) #21-22, plus Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps (2016) #32, Justice League (2016) #32-33, and a story from DC Holiday Special 2017 #1.

Tales of The Titans
(2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1779527141 / digital)
I do have a Guide to Teen Titans, Titans, & Young Justice, but it hasn’t been updated for 2024 yet. I’ll tackle it when the next issue of Titans hits! This collects the brief Tales of the Titans (2023) #1-4 featuring solo stories of the team, itself a wink at a similarly-named title that’s now nearly 40yrs old.

The Vigil
(2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1779523433 / digital)
This is part of the “We Are Legends” line of new comics focused on Asian heroes that launched in the wake of 2023’s Lazarus Planet mini-event. This book was from superstar writer Ram V and artist Lalit Kumar Sharma. It followed a team of vigilante metahumans trying to disrupt trade of next-gen weaponry. This collects the full series, The Vigil (2023) #1-6.

New For Patrons: The Definitive Guide to DC’s Suicide Squad – from Silver Age to Present Day!

October 10, 2018 by krisis

Today’s guide for Patrons of Crushing Krisis seemed like it would be a straight-forward team guide, but I wasn’t accounting for how unique each iteration of this death-defying squadron tends to be…

Suicide Squad – The Definitive Reading Order and Collecting Guide

Suicide Squad wasn’t always a team of villains serving a compulsory stint as reluctant heroes.

The title has its origins in the Silver Age with a pair of paramilitary mad science tales in The Brave and the Bold and Star Spangled War Stories (which, by the way, means that Suicide Squad actually predates the Justice League by a few months).

That Squadron X was a wildly different team than the modern version lead by Amanda Waller. The two were cleverly linked in the wake of Legends, the first post-Crisis DC event. Legends served as the introduction to Waller and her team of ne’er-do-wells, most of whom were incredibly obscure villains. Captain Boomerang was probably the most widely-known of the original cast, at the time!

Of course, now we associate Suicide Squad as much with Amanda Waller and those once-obscure villains like Boomerang, Deadshot, and Enchantress as we do with Harley Quinn. That was all the work of the New 52 iteration of the team in 2011 and the 2016 film version. Harley’s addition to the Squad makes for an odd fit at points, but it’s the version that hit cinemas so it’s like to be a permanent change.
