    Default What omnibuses are as amazing as Moore’s Watchmen and Jon Hickmans New Avengers?

    I dislike most comic books. But I’ve never read anything as amazing as Moore’s Watchmen and Jon Hickmans FF/New Avengers/Time Runs Out arc.

    I am dying to discover other works as good as these.

    What omnibuses/collections would you recommend I check out?

    Thank you.

    First that comes to mind is New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke.

    Thank you. I ordered 1-3. Once I finish them, will look into the others.

    I wish there was a thread where everyone here could vote on their favorite omnibuses so we get a list of the Very Best of the Best Omnibuses made with input from 1000s of comic book fans here.
