Every Missing Batman 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 Batman 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.

Batman does as much collected editions business for DC as the collections of entire other publishers! We’ll have a total of five Batman solo omnibuses in 2025 – including just one Pre-Flashpoint, one New 52, and three from Rebirth to present.

While that sounds like a lot, there’s so much Batman not collected in omnibus, including a ton of hotly-demanded runs. Fans desperately want DC to crack into the 70s and 80s of Batman, and while the DC Finest collections may have slightly cooled the desires for an immediately Post-Crisis collection, there are still some obvious gaps in the late-90s.

I sincerely believe DC will be taking a close look at the votes on this poll to decide on their upcoming slate of Batman omnis, especially for Pre-Flashpoint material. Omar has confirmed his contact at DC wants to see the results of this year’s poll, so your votes matter!

This week in Image Comics: Medieval Spawn’s origins, Supermassive one-shots collected, Dust to Dust’s mid-series mystery, Duke vs. Cobra Commander, Power Fantasy’s Second Summer of Love turns to hate, a silent Roadblock, a dull assortment of Crises, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: I can’t pick anything other than The Power Fantasy (2024) #8, not only because the series is embedded in my Top 12 of 2025 every damn week but because this is the second half of a hotly anticipated tale revealing more of the background of what makes this super-powered world history so different than our own.

This post includes every comic out from Image Comics this week on April 23 2025, plus collected editions. This isn’t the typical comic releases post you can find on other sites. Why? I explain each collection and comment on every series with a new issue out this week to help you figure out if they’re for you.

Plus, for some long-running series and Image Comics imprints, I’ll point you to a personally-curated guide within the Crushing Comics Guide to Indie Comics to find out how to collect that title in full!

I enjoy when Jason Aaron tackles kids as protagonists, I love the idea of a brutal bug war happening in your own back yard, and he’s assembled an astonishing creative team with Mahmud Asrar, Matt Wilson, and Becca Carey.

The Krisis Pick of the Week: This was a close one for me with such a kick-ass issue of G.I. Joe out this week, but my pick goes to W0rldtr33 (2023) #12, kicking off a third arc of the James Tynion IV ongoing title that feels like a sequel to his indie “viral trilogy” that initially turned me on to his scary creator-owned work. More on this book below!
