DC Comics Omnibuses and Absolutes for 2020
It's time for some 2020 visions…
Over at DC Comics, it appears that DC Comics is skipping a Rick Veitch Swamp Thing Omnibus that would end rather awkwardly and jumping to horror writer Nancy A Collins' run on the comic.
Swamp Thing by Nancy A. Collins Omnibus
The two-year run on Swamp Thing by critically acclaimed Southern Gothic horror novelist Nancy A. Collins is collected for the first time ever.
In these Swamp Thing tales written by critically acclaimed Southern Gothic horror novelist Nancy Collins, a mad priest called Father Tocsin has come to Houma to test his followers with a fatal poison. But when Tocsin indoctrinates one of his friends, Swamp Thing must stop the killings before they spread too far. Then, it's a grassroots political campaign as Swamp Thing finds himself a surprise candidate for governor of Louisiana. And Swamp Thing must get help to save Abigail Arcane and their young daughter, Tefé, from the murderous dream-pirates of Dark Conrad. Who's he gonna call? John Constantine! And Anton Arcane returns from the darkest pits of hell to seek revenge on Swamp Thing and all those he holds dear!
This title collects Swamp Thing #110-139 and Swamp Thing Annual #6 and #7, not reprinted since their original publication in the early 1990s.14 January 2020 896 pages
While Batman's various black-and-white comics get pulled together
Batman: Black & White Omnibus

Presented in stark black-and-white tones that all too easily represent Batman's worldview comes this collection of the Dark Knight Detective's hard-boiled adventures. With stories and art by a stellar line up of comic industry creators including Neil Gaiman (The Sandman), Frank Miller (The Dark Knight Returns, Ronin), Jim Lee (Wildcats, Batman) and others, it's not surprising that this collection was awarded the comic industry's prestigious Eisner Award for excellence.
