Lots of big comics coming from DC Comics. Some expected, some not. But all in the DC Comics Spring 2015 listings. Thanks to Aaron Hale for kicking this off for us.

A new rapport with Neal Adams seems to have resulted in the following,

Neal Adams Omnibus (June 2, 2015)

This hardcover omnibus collects: Material from Batman #200, 203 and 210; The Brave and the Bold #75-76 and 79-85; Detective Comics #370, 372, 385, 389, 391, and 392; and World's Finest Comics #174-176, 178-180, 182-183, 185, and 186. Batman #217, 220-222, 224-227, 229-231, The Brave and the Bold #86, 88-90, 93, 95, Detective Comics #394-403, 405-311, World's Finest #199, 200, 202.

Batman : Odyssey Vol. 1 issues #1-6 and Vol. 2 issues #1-7.

There's a third JSA Omnibus, in case that's all you thought you were getting.

JSA Omnibus Vol. 3 (June 30, 2015)

Collects JSA #76-87, Justice Society of America #1-28, Justice League of America #8-10, Justice Society of America Annual #1, JSA Kingdom Come Special: Superman #1, JSA Kingdom Come Special: Magog #1, JSA Kingdom Come Special: The Kingdom #1

And, a little extra that couldn't fit in.

America vs. The Justice Society (July 28, 2015)

Collects America Vs. The Justice Society #1-4 by Roy Thomas and Jerry Ordway,

There's plenty more Geoff Johns Green Lantern… and presumably more to come there as well.

Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 2 (August 4, 2015)

Collects Green Lantern 26-52, Blackest Night 0-7, DC Universe 0, Untold Tales of Blackest Night 1-2, Blackest Night Tales of the Corps 1-2

George Perez may be exclusive at Boom now, but DC still have these projects to line up…

Wonder Woman by George Perez Omnibus (August 25, 2015)

Collects Wonder Woman #1-24, and Wonder Woman Annual #1.

And more from Perez' stablemate too.

Orion by Walter Simonson Omnibus (March 31, 2015)

Collects Orion #1-25 and stories from Jack Kirby's Fourth World #9-11 and 13.

As well as the Omnibus, there are the oversized slipcased Absolute editions. They one it takes people three years to read. The Absolute Green Arrow by Kevin Smith will be replacing the now-cancelled Green Arrow Deluxe Edition that would have contained these issues. Those issues are then followed by Brad Meltzer's run, #16-#21, as Green Arrow: Archer's Quest Deluxe Edition

As previously mentioned we also have the Absolute Transmetropolitan Vol. 1 and Absolute Y The Last Man Vol. 1.

There are also collections of Marv Wolfman's work, including Deathstroke #1-#9, New Teen Titans #70 with Deathstroke; The Terminator Vol. 1: Assassins.

The New 52 China Mieville Dial H gets a Deluxe Edition which might suggest they are grooming him for more – in competition with Dial H editor Karen Berger and Judith Regan's new imprint perhaps?

And there will also be Robin The Boy Wonder: A Celebration of 75 Years, Shazam: A Celebration of 75 Years, Justice Society of America: A Celebration of 75 Years volumes next year as well.

And did anyone expect an Aquaman: Sub Diego collection? Here it comes… by Will Pfeifer and Patrick Gleason collecting #15-22.

More unexpected books include Showcase Presents: Blue Devil Vol. 1 collecting Blue Devil #1-18 and Fury of Firestorm #24.

Another Warren Ellis flipbook Ocean/Orbiter Deluxe Edition with multi-media attention still on Ocean.

A Batman: The New Adventures collection gathering Batman #402-403, #408-416, and Annual #11,

And a personal favourite for me? Swamp Thing: The Root of All Evil collecting the Mark Millar Swamp Thing run #140-#150. I do hope they'll follow this shortly with River Run…

UPDATE: Yes, the Question collection, Falling Into Place, is the Wildstorm mini-series Devil's In The Details, by Rick Veitch and Tommy Lee Edwards, part of the Superstorm line, that, well, didn't actually happen.

Also on the way for 2015:
