Things to know

Collecting rule: Acquire Vol. 1 before Highest, Furthest, Fastest; together they preserve the complete Thompson run.

  • Highest, Furthest, Fastest is not a Thompson-only Vol. 2; it continues beyond her finale into work by Torunn Grønbekk, Gerry Duggan, Ann Nocenti, Anthony Oliveira, Alyssa Wong, and others.
  • The first omnibus is the 736-page edition that includes Star #1–5, not the shorter version once announced.
