In a world where superheroes operate under a cloud of suspicion from the public, loner vigilante Batman has stumbled upon a dark evil that threatens to destroy the Earth as we know it. Now, faced with a threat far beyond anything he can handle on his own, the Dark Knight must trust an alien, a Scarlet Speedster, an accidental teenage hero, a space cop, an Amazon warrior, and an undersea monarch. Will Superman, the Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman be able to put aside their differences and come together to save the world? Or will they destroy each other first?

Thanks for the updates, Raffi. I'll be picking up that Justice League omni.

Does anyone think it's worth it to get any of the "New 52" omnis (Heroes/Villians/Zero) or should I just focus on the individual titles I want? Like is there a specific "event" omni?

Personal opinion, big no. I guess the Zero or first issue collections might serve as useful "catalogs" or samplers if you want a good way to peruse all your options. The Villains one is a hodge podge of random issues by creators not on those books and important issues to current runs. I think of all the New 52 sampler omnis (so ignoring the single title ones like Snyder/Capullo on Batman or Johns on JL, etc.), Future's End might be the most worthwhile one. At least there's a theme/through-line to it.

I second this, I wonder I they'll ever release Futures End the weekly series or Batman Eternal (or even Batman and Robin eternal).

Thank you both for the responses, this helps a lot. I've never read this era and the various omni situation was confusing. I've bought Batman by Snyder and B&R by Tomasi, so I'll just focus on the other individual omnis coming out (Batgirl/JL/etc.).

What do you think about Swamp Thing N52? I already ordered the Omnibus... hope it delivers...

I picked up the Zero Omnibus for "cheapish" sometime ago as I thought it'd be good to have an "Origin" Omnibus. I haven't opened it yet as it's sitting on the shelf still sealed. I have absolutely no interest in the other Omnibuses as I find them redundant. I have the majority of the No. 1's in floppies anyway.

It's an enjoyable and interesting read with very nice art. I'm not a Swamp Thing fan but both Soule's and Snyder's runs are pretty good.

Huge fan, Snyders is pretty creepy though I felt it does go on a tad too long, but Soules run is a lot of fun and is almost a love letter to the character and his history.

Another thumbs up from me!

While both runs are great, I almost prefer Soule's. When Snyder wrapped up, I was ready for him to go - but when the book got canceled I felt Soule had just hit his stride and had a lot more to say.

[Captain Craig]

Teen Titans Omnibus volume 5....where is it at? Not seeing it posted! Frankly none of today's releases I don't think.

Just gonna echo the chorus and say that this is a great Swamp Thing run. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
