Marvel Omnibus Announcement – Punisher: Enter the War Zone Omnibus AKA Punisher by Greg Rucka!

July 30, 2026 by krisis Leave a Comment

Punisher War Zone 2012 0002 cover Near Mint Condition announced the final Marvel omnibus due in the first half of 2027, though this is not the last one to be released. This is an April 2027 book, and the reason Omar saved it for last is because it has placed in the Top 60 of the Tigereyes Most-Wanted Marvel Omnibus poll for the past ten years, including spending the past three years in the Top 10. That makes it one of the most-wanted Marvel collected editions of this millennium… and now we’re finally going to see it in print: Punisher: Enter the War Zone AKA Punisher by Greg Rucka!

THIS IS A BIG DEAL, Y’ALL. Marvel has not published a mainstream, non-MAX continuity Punisher omnibus since 2017, and we only have three books in total for a character with hundreds of issues: Punisher: Back to the War Omnibus collecting his earliest issues, Punisher by Garth Ennis Omnibus collecting his more mature (but not MAX) early-00s run, and Punisher by Rick Remender Omnibus with his somewhat pulpy adventures as a monster.

Fans absolutely revere this Greg Rucka run and with good reason. Rucka would never treat Punisher as a deliciously transgressive murder machine so we could root for his vengeful ways. Instead, Rucka reckoned with Frank Castle as a real human being existing in this super universe, and what that would mean both for his motivations and for the ramifications of his actions.

Also, much of this run was drawn by Marco Checchetto (and, subsequently Carmine Di Giandomenico in the second series), making it one of the most-gorgeous Punisher runs of all time. [Read more…] about Marvel Omnibus Announcement – Punisher: Enter the War Zone Omnibus AKA Punisher by Greg Rucka!

Every Missing Superman Family Omnibus, Mapped – Superboy, Supergirl, & More! | 2025 Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus Poll

May 21, 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 Superman Family omnibus – including Superboy and Supergirl – 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 Jimmy Olsen, Jon Kent, Lois Lane, Powergirl, New Superman, Steel, Superboy, Supergirl, and Superwoman.

Superman’s family of characters collectively just have one exclusive omnibus – this year’s Supergirl: The New 52 omnibus (although some Jimmy Olsen material is in Fourth World by Jack Kirby).

With Superman about to have one of his biggest years of all time and Supergirl with her own movie en route, we might finally see some of this material in omnibus… although DC seems perfectly content to complete it in paperback if we don’t signal to them otherwise with our votes.

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 Superman omnibus – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

Superman has an interesting history in omnibus. Prior to 2020, DC was hyper-focused on collecting his Golden age run – and the only other omnibus was Death and Return of Superman! Then, in the 2020s, DC got slightly more adventurous – but not much. They hit a few major modern runs, but Superman still had barely any coverage in omnibus.

Finally, with a potential hit movie on the horizon, in the past two years DC has gotten series about collecting Superman! Not only have they finally cracked into the much-demanded Triangle Era, but they’re also getting more aggressive about his post-Flashpoint material.

Even with leaps and bounds of improvement in DC’s release schedule, the potential for future Superman omnibuses continues to be a wide-open field. Your votes could meaningfully point DC into the right direction for their 2026 and 2027 slates of books.

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

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!

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
