Absolute Green Lantern Question

The absolute universe got me reading comics for the first time in my life.

Every other series I feel has done a great job without needing any outside information to be able to follow the story

I collect every single series every single issue..

But the two one shot space issues of green lantern between the main story they have done and now that they are fully up in space I feel like not knowing outside information is really hurting my understanding of the story. Like if I knew more about green lantern and how it all works I would be able to fully grasp it. I'm confused. Maybe cause now it's sci Fi mobo jumbo idk I don't have this issue with any other absolute story line.

Does anyone else feel like this

Anyone take 3 scoops or more of Infinifiber a day?

After being on 2 scoops a day since the launch I decided to try 3 scoops a day as I felt like 2 scoops wasn't enough I don't get a lot of fiber a day. So I figured maybe 3 scoops would be better it's been about 3 days my stools are more mushy than they used to be but I'm assuming my body is just getting used to it.

Was wondering if anyone else takes more than 2 scoops a day?

Hellblazer Si Spurrier Omnibus Idea.

In my opinion this would make a perfect Omnibus

Hellblazer Si Spurrier is master class in Hellblazer.

The complete Spurrier Constantine saga is:

  • Sandman Universe Presents: Hellblazer #1 one shot prologue
  • John Constantine Hellblazer #1–12 first run
  • Dead in America #1–11 conclusion

That's 24 issues total plus a one shot. Perfect omnibus size right in line with Delano and Jenkins/Phillips volumes. One complete story, one complete omnibus.

What do you think? You think DC will do this in the next couple of years?

Could Swamp Thing by Len Wein & Kelley Jones realistically become an omnibus someday? + Green Hell

I currently own basically all of the Swamp Thing omnibuses currently awaiting the 2 new Omnibuses for this year and Alan Moore for next and saw these two books available on IST

  • Swamp Thing by Len Wein and Kelley Jones Deluxe Edition
  • Swamp Thing: Green Hell HC

For people who have read them:

Do you think the Len Wein/Kelley Jones material could realistically get an omnibus one day, or is the Deluxe Edition probably the definitive format for it?

Also is the run actually worth picking up if I already own the major Swamp Thing omnis?

And while I’m at it, is Green Hell worth owning as well? I’ve heard good things about the art and atmosphere.

Getting into Swamp Thing which omnibuses are actually worth buying?

I want to get into Swamp Thing so I preordered Swamp Thing: Dark Genesis Omnibus. I see Alan Moore is getting a omnibus sometime in 2027 so i will definitely get that when it comes out.

After that I started noticing there are a TON of other Swamp Thing books/omnibuses and now I’m not sure what’s actually worth collecting vs what’s more completionist territory.

The ones that are currently out or available for preorder are:

  • The Swamp Thing by Ram V and Mike Perkins Omnibus
  • Swamp Thing by Nancy A. Collins Omnibus
  • Swamp Thing by Mark Millar and Phil Hester
  • Swamp Thing (2011) The New 52 Omnibus

I’ve also read multiple people say that if you get the New 52 Swamp Thing omnibus, you should also get Animal Man by Jeff Lemire Omnibus because of Rotworld and how connected the stories are.

If that’s true, are the OTHER Animal Man omnis worth getting too, or is Jeff Lemire’s run the main one people recommend?

The other two I saw were:

  • Animal Man by Grant Morrison Omnibus
  • Animal Man by Tom Veitch and Steve Dillon Omnibus

Getting into the Sandman Universe is this the right collection to start with?

I want to get into the Sandman universe and was wondering if this is a good starting collection or if I’m overbuying.

Current plan:

  • Sandman Omnibus Vol. 1
  • Sandman Omnibus Vol. 2
  • Sandman Omnibus Vol. 3
  • Dead Boy Detectives Omnibus
  • Lucifer Omnibus Vol. 1
  • Lucifer Omnibus Vol. 2

I also keep seeing people mention Books of Magic as part of the Sandman/Vertigo universe.

Is that considered essential reading for Sandman fans, or more of a side companion series?

And if it’s worth reading, would you recommend:

  • the full Books of Magic Omnibus line or
  • just the Neil Gaiman Books of Magic Deluxe HC?

For context, I tend to enjoy darker/more mature stuff like Swamp Thing, Hellblazer, Preacher, Daredevil, Punisher MAX, etc., so I’m trying to figure out what parts of the Sandman universe would fit my tastes best.

I’ve built out a pretty solid collection so far:

  • Full Daredevil omnibus set
  • Full Punisher omnibus set
  • Preacher Vol. 1–2 (Garth Ennis)
  • Hitman Vol. 1–2 (also Ennis)
  • Alias

I clearly gravitate toward darker, street-level, character-driven stories. I really enjoy Ennis’ work overall especially Punisher, Preacher and Hitman but interestingly, I couldn’t get into The Boys (even though I love the show). I did read the whole series but it got painful.

Given that, I’m looking for recommendations in a similar vein gritty, grounded runs with strong writing and a focus on crime, morality, and flawed characters rather than big cosmic or superhero-heavy arcs.

What runs, creators, or lines would you suggest I check out next?
