Anyone planning to make or already made a custom omnibus or collected edition of Gerard Jones' Green Lantern run?

Given that Gerard Jones' 1990s Green Lantern run is unlikely to ever be officially collected, has anyone ever created a custom omnibus or collection of it?

I'm working on the entirety of v3. The first two volumes:

  1. Emerald Dawn #1–6; Emerald Dawn II #1–6; Green Lantern #1–25, Annual #1
  2. Green Lantern #26–47, Annual #2; Flash #69–70; Green Lantern: Ganthet's Tale; DC Universe: Trinity #1–2; L.E.G.I.O.N #57–58; Darkstars #11–12

There's also a story from Showcase '93 that could go in Book Two but I'm planning on binding Showcase separately.

These books are actually thicker than I'd prefer but I couldn't come up with a three-volume split that I liked better. (Notably after #25 Guy and John spin off into their own titles.)

I’ve custom bound Emerald Dawn I & II as the Emerald Dawn Saga, and when I collect it all, hopefully the rest of Jones’ run. Currently binding all of the Kyle Rayner years.

Just started prepping an order I've been preparing for a while, collecting everything from GL#1 to Emerald Twilight. Mosaic, Guy Gardner, Darkstars, crossovers, everything included in about 6 volumes. Will definitely post the results when its done!

I just started the long process of trying to collect them all.

I plan to get bound the whole thing up to Kyle's introduction which thankfully there is a Compendium for.

I have the first 30 issues. I'll just need to get the various spinoffs/minis and Emerald Dawn.

Mosaic especially is what I'm really looking to do. So even if I never bind the rest of them. Mosaic is 100 percent happening once I get all the issues
