DC Reveals Contents of SUICIDE SQUAD Omnibus Vol. 2

Tying up a loose thread from 2025’s DC omnibus news: Checkmate, Manhunter, Deadshot and MORE… Over the summer, when many of DC Comics’ collected-edition plans surfaced, the Suicide Squad by John Ostrander Omnibus Vol. 2 was listed among the many titles. Thing is, by December, it was one of only a couple where the contents remained unrevealed. Until now: DC in its latest solicitations unveiled exactly what’s included with the 1,000-pager that’s due in the spring — and it’s a lot more than just the central ’80s-’90s series itself. Dig the official info: SUICIDE SQUAD BY JOHN OSTRANDER OMNIBUS VOL. 2 Written by JOHN OSTRANDER, KIM YALE, PAUL KUPPERBERG, and others Art by LUKE McDONNELL, JOHN K. SNYDER III, and more Cover by LUKE McDONNELL and KARL KESEL Collecting in reading order Deadshot #1-4, Suicide Squad #19-39, Suicide Squad Annual #1, Manhunter #6-7 and #14, Firestorm #82 and #86-87, Justice League of America #27, Checkmate #15-18, Captain Atom #30, and stories from Secret Origins #37, The Flash #12, and Invasion! #1-3. Featuring a new introduction and commentary by Ostrander. $150.00 US | 1008 pages | 8 1/8″ x 12 1/4″ | Hardcover | ISBN: 978-1-79950-802-1 ON SALE 5/19/26 — By my reckoning, that leaves only one more book from that summer splash that remains something of a mystery. More on that soon enough. — MORE — DC COMICS to Publish Raft of Golden and Silver Age Omnibus Editions in Early 2026. Click here. — DC Adds Even More Retro OMNIBUS EDITIONS for 2026.

JACK KIRBY’S DEMON to Get ABSOLUTE EDITION in 2026

You’ll have Jason Blood on your hands… Remarkably, Jack Kirby has only gotten a couple of Absolute Editions from DC over the years, both centering on the Fourth World. That’s set to change in the late summer of 2026 with the anticipated publication of The Demon by Jack Kirby: Absolute Edition. Dig the info, tucked into DC’s latest solicitations: THE DEMON BY JACK KIRBY: ABSOLUTE EDITION Written by JACK KIRBY Art and cover by JACK KIRBY Part man, part elemental fury, Etrigan the Demon was bound to Jason Blood by Merlin to defend Camelot! Now a demonologist in the streets of 1970s Gotham, he must face a barrage of gothic terror—Morgaine le Fey, Klarion the Witch Boy, and more! Collecting The Demon #1-16, featuring nearly 200 pages of original pencils and inks, as presented by the Kirby Museum with brand-new essays by the creators that carried forward the legacy of Etrigan, a brand-new foreword by horror legend Stephen Bissette, and more! $125.00 US | 632 pages | 8 1/8″ x 12 1/4″ | Hardcover | ISBN: 978-1-79950-902-8 ON SALE 9/1/26 — A few thoughts: — The cover art is labeled NOT FINAL, so it’s subject to change. Doesn’t mean it will, though. — Absolute Editions pretty much focus on modern comics, going back only as far as the Bronze Age. I guess that means the only other Absolute left to do would be Kamandi, though Super Powers would be a lot of fun. I don’t think there’s enough material there, though. — This is the second month in a row DC has popped an unexpected Bronze Age Absolute Edition into the solicitations. Last month, it was Neal Adams’ Batman. — MORE — BATMAN BY NEAL ADAMS: ABSOLUTE EDITION Coming Summer 2026. Click here. — DC COMICS to Publish FIVE Facsimile Editions in March. Click...
