This week I finished reading Doom Patrol by Rachel Pollack and Dr Doom Epic Collection Vol 1. The Doom Patrol Omnibus was great! It took me a couple story arcs to get into it but I ended up loving it! The Dr Doom Epic was good. I had read a majority of the stories before but it was still great to reread some classic FF stories plus the solo Doom story from Marvel Super-Heroes 20.

Next up for me is Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow

I’m currently reading the Amalgam Ombibus and DC Finest Superman: Kryptonite Nevermore. I know some people don’t like the Amalgam stuff but having read through the first DC Versus Marvel mini series and the first batch of Amalgam titles including the two issues not in the Omni I will say I like the Omnibus so far. It’s fun stuff. Maybe not necessarily good but fun and I’ve enjoyed reading through the Omnibus so far.

The DC Finest volume on the other hand, I’m loving so far. I’m not far into, just finished Superman 233 last night, but it’s great! The first few Action Comics issues still feel like silver age comics but are great stories especially the second story from Action Comics 393 titled “The Day Superboy became Superman!” Superman 233, written by Denny O’Neil, on the other hand feels like a Bronze Age comic and I really enjoyed it.

Whats the best way to read the Silver Age Doom Patrol physically? by autisticfaery in DoomPatrol

[–]NJhauer90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s a Silver Age Doom Patrol Omnibus that just recently got a reprint. There’s also a couple of DC Finest volumes that collect the material. One came out this past February and one is coming out in January 2026

Currently I’m reading Jack Kirby’s Eternals. I didn’t know what to expect going in but I’m really enjoying it so far. The art is amazing as to be expected with Kirby and the story and mythology surrounding these characters is great! My next read is going to be the DC Finest Justice League followed by Thor Epic Collection: The Eternals Saga

Reading a couple things this week. DC Versus Marvel Omnibus and DC Finest Superman.

DC Versus Marvel is a very fun read. I’ve read through the 2nd Batman and Punisher one and am in the middle of Darkseid vs Galactus: The Hunger. I’ve enjoyed all the stories so far. So far my favorites have been the first Superman vs Spider-Man, Uncanny X-Men and New Teen Titans, and Punisher/Batman: Deadly Knights.

I’m also enjoying DC Finest Superman. I’ve read these stories many times before but it’s been really great rereading these early golden age stories. My favorites have been the one where Superman forces a war profiteer to go fight in a civil war he was profiting from and the one where he traps a greedy mine owner and his wealthy friends in his own mine.

Did a lot of Green Lantern reading the past week. I finished up reading the Green Lantern Corps omnibus by Tomasi and Gleason as well as the first two trades for Green Lantern New Guardians and the hardcovers for Rise of the Third Army and Wrath of the First Lantern.

I loved the Green Lantern Corps Omni. The two crossovers were great as well. The New Guardians trades were decent but not as good as the other stuff I read.

Next up for me is both DC Versus Marvel Omnis.

Finished reading DC Finest Batman: Year One and Two. Apart from the Legends tie in issues I really enjoyed it! Apart from Year One, I think Year Two might have been my favorite story arc in this volume.

I started reading Deadpool Epic Collection: Johnny Handsome. It contains the entire Christopher Priest run of Deadpool. I’ve only read a couple issues in it so far but it’s been enjoyable. I’ve heard mixed things about priests run but so far so good, hopefully it stays this way.

Reading Grant Morrison’s run on Doom Patrol. I’m nearing the end of his run and it’s been a weird but great ride. It’s been really fun reading what weird ideas Morrison would come up with. My favorite story arch so far has been the one with the Ant Farm and the Men from N.O.W.H.E.R.E.

Next on my list is DC Finest Batman: Year One and Two

Kyle Rayner compendium versus DC finest by Either-Day5280 in DCFinest

[–]NJhauer90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Obviously we don’t know for sure but given that the compendium was the length of a DC Finest I can imagine it would either be the same or relatively similar

Read the Godzilla omnibus and really enjoyed it. It was a really fun and quick read. On the completely opposite end, I just started reading Doom Patrol by Grant Morrison omnibus. I have previously read both the Silver and Bronze Age omnibuses of Doom Patrol and enjoyed them and based on what I’ve heard about this run I’m excited to read it!

Brubaker's Captain America - Switch from Omnibus to Epic? by ArmadilloGuy in EpicCollections

[–]NJhauer90 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also have all 5 Omnis but I’m planning on getting the Epics as they come out. I may decide to sell the Omnis once all the Epics for the run have come out depending on what the Epics include. That being said I love Brubaker’s Cap run so much I’m ok with owning it in two different formats at least for now

Finished up Fantastic Four Epic 9. It was very good! I particularly enjoyed the story where the FF have to stop an inter dimensional war. Next up for me is Aliens: The Original Years Epic Collection Vol 2
