What all resources/expositions/writings have been published as a comprehensive analysis of prophecy in Scripture?
The "comprehensive" requirement is unsatisfiable, since the works of God are ongoing and the spirit of prophecy reveals things line upon line to mankind after we are prepared to receive them. I take your qualifier "approximately" to mean that sincere effort is made towards being thorough, and not that every conceivable ramification or typology is anticipated.
I don't like relying on sources I don't trust and I wanted to do a more thorough analysis
Prophecy can be understood clearly if interpreted correctly. We are reminded that the Savior spoke in parables to inhibit the understanding of the unfaithful on the one hand, and to edify the righteous and give them opportunity to exercise faith on the other hand. Therefore we should not expect that all things are tidily understood without faith and revelation, nonetheless the saving truths are plain to be understood and universal in their meaning:
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. (2 Peter 1:19-20)
Commentary on Scripture is not worth much compared to Scripture itself, unless the commentary is also Scripture, as in the case of prophets quoting one another and expounding, of which there are many examples in the Scriptures. The only way you could find an explication worthy of pursuit is to find someone who has the spirit of prophecy himself. Otherwise his commentaries will be mere speculation and opinion, and completely lacking authority. Peter's testimony continues:
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Consistent with this understanding, the best resources I can refer you to include over 180 years of prophecy and accompanying explanation that identify modern applications, past, present and future fulfillments, additional corroboration and indeed extra-biblical support to the prophecies made in the Bible, including the translation and revelation of some contemporary accounts that corroborate, further specify and even fulfill Biblical prophecies. God continues to call Prophets today as He has in the past, with a mantle equal to Moses's.
These discourses have been painstakingly compiled and translated into perhaps more languages than any other modern theological material I am aware of:

While I cannot guarantee that these resources are "comprehensive" per the above constraint, they are collectively the most thorough, relevant and accurate resource on the subject that I can vouch for. I believe that God will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to His kingdom, and so what has not yet been explicated or fulfilled we have reason to expect will be done in the future. Moreover these discourses uniquely satisfy the requirement of accurate analysis, in that the givers have the spirit of prophecy themselves. The reader is forewarned that the purpose for which these discourses were given and written is not to appease academicians, but rather to increase faith in Jesus Christ and accomplish His work, which worldly scholars have an unfortunate habit of categorizing as unsatisfying, despite it accomplishing the very purpose of Scripture. But then we already knew by the testimony of Scripture that the worldly man and the man of Christ are opposites.
A relevant and repeated prophecy made in the Bible alludes to a future day when all hidden things shall be revealed. In sum, the "comprehensive" analysis of prophecy does not exist yet because there are things not yet revealed.
[Side note: the church has close to 6000 years of Earthly history, as it goes back to Adam and Eve, and Christianity is the only religion to hold this distinction. It is the oldest religion in the world. The fact that we obtain most of the accounts through Moses despite his forbears having kept records themselves and clearly having worshiped Christ strongly suggests that what we have in the Old Testament has been abridged, and numerous ancient prophetic accounts may have been lost. The structure of the church apparently changed from patriarchal to apostolic with the coming of Jesus Christ, but the religion is identical.]
