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

May 14, 2025 by krisis

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.

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.

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!

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

In the past year DC has finally acknowledged that they have more WildStorm material to print beyond Jim Lee’s run on WildCATs, the first volume of The Authority, and Planetary. We got a second Authority omnibus, a WildCATs compendium that significantly expanded on the material in the Jim Lee Absolute Edition, and a Compendium of pre-Authority Stormwatch material!

That’s all great progress, but it still mostly collects material that has been collected before. There’s 30 potential omnibus volumes worth of WildStorm material that DC could still collect! While sales on the three recent books might be a good indicator of demand, it would be huge for a WildStorm book to make it into the on-air results of the Tigereyes poll this year.

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

DC seems committed to slowly dripping out the remainder of the omnibus volumes we need for these two characters – just five more to completely collect Swamp Thing, and likely eight for John Constantine.

However, the key word there is “slowly.” It has taken eight years to accumulate the four existing Swamp Thing omnibuses, and DC continues to studiously avoid releasing the hotly-demanded Alan Moore volume (#9 on last year’s poll). Things are slightly speedier for Hellblazer, who got three books in five years, but we have much more material to cover with him to collect all of his amazing 26-volume classic paperback line – plus his post-Flashpoint material.

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

There’s a school of though that all Sandman collected editions are now doomed due to the allegations against Neil Gaiman. However, Neil Gaiman penned just a fraction of Sandman Universe material – and that’s all been collected in its entirety in omnibus save for four issues of Black Orchid (1988)! There are still several omnibuses of other material without Gaiman’s name involved at all.

And, we’ve seen that DC has some appetite to release this material in a post-allegations world because we finally are seeing the back half of Sandman Mystery Theatre collected later this year in Compendium!

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

This is my blog and my mappings, so I’m starting with my favorite character!

This year has been incredible for Wonder Woman omnibus volumes! We not only got the long-awaited and oft-delayed Golden Age Wonder Woman Vol. 6, but we also have announcements for a final Silver Age volume and Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka and Wonder Woman by John Byrne!

That significantly narrows the remaining books we need to fully cover Wonder Woman in omnibus! We only need six more books to complete collect her material prior to Flashpoint! [Read more…] about Every Missing Wonder Woman Omnibus, Mapped | 2025 Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus Poll
