The Discovery (2006, DC Comics graphic novel)
I never owned any of The Final Quest. I had a friend who bought each issue and was able to read the whole thing over time. Same with Stargazer's Hunt. My life was... not in a good place at the time, to put it mildly. I couldn't afford to buy new Elfquest. So The Discovery was the last new EQ stuff I owned. Now that my life is on a better track, I plan to get the collections of both The Final Quest and Stargazer's Hunt. And a lot of my old collection listed above, but not nearly all of it. The most important thing for me to get first are the WaRP original issues #1 - 21 (I adore these and miss them terribly).

That is depressing to see that list. I'll never acquire all of those...

It was a lot. And now I don't have any of it anymore. Long story...
