Maybe a little more info would be helpful.
By tie-ins, do you mean HC's that have companion books that flesh out the story/event? Or do you mean something that includes a main event plus satellite issues, like the DC One Million or Infinite Crisis omni's?

I'll give another vote for Animal Man. Does Absolute All-Star Superman count?

Planetary, Sleeper, Morrison's Invisibles and The Filth (if that kinda stories are your cup of tea), LoEG, New Frontier deluxe, Infinite crisis collects all the tie ins and it's a great read but good luck finding that, Sandman, Ronin, Books of Magic, Punk Rock Jesus, Animal Man.
New X-men, Secret Warriors, Punisher Max, Annihilation, Fury My war gone by, Blue, Gray & Yellow, The Twelve.
These are all self contained books from the two big publishers, no previous knowledge necessary (maybe some basis that you probably already picked up from the movies and/or the cartoons).
Smaller publisher stuff that are available in ohc and are quite good (some of them are maybe oop and going for higher prices): Criminal, Incognito, Fear agent, Hellboy, Saga, Sex Criminals, Chew, Peter Pan by Loisel, Millennium, Invincible.

Great recommendations so far. I'll throw in Colossal Conan, Big Damn Sin City, and X-Statix (can be found cheaply).

Hulk: Planet Hulk is fantastic, a complete story in one book, the Grant Morrison New X Men omnibus is a very good read too.
If you tell us what else you like, or what you find interesting I'm sure we can come up with further suggestions.

Morrison's are the best.
As far as Omibuses, Animal Man, Doom Patrol, Invisibles, New X-Men....such great vacation reading experiences.Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

are you taking the Invisibles omnibus to vacations? Or the Doom Patrol one? Are you going on vacations with a truck and a forklift? Originally Posted by JBatmanFan05

Lol. I pack very light (I'm not a clothes person) by nature and thus have good room to pack one or two or so. Originally Posted by Balakin

I only brought home comics from vacations. Drove my gf mad because I limited our clothing packing options to make more room for books Originally Posted by JBatmanFan05
