  • Superman: The Man of Steel has a title similar to the miniseries The Man of Steel. However, The Man of Steel was printed in 1986, whereas this series was printed from 1991 to 2003, ending at issue #134.

  • Superman: The Man of Tomorrow was a series published from summer 1995 to fall 1999, ending at issue #15. The series filled in the four weeks of the year that an issue of Action Comics, The Adventures of Superman, Superman (vol. 2) and Superman: The Man of Steel were not published as a fifth week to give 52 weeks (i.e., one year) of Superman stories. The series included a #1,000,000 issue (November 1998) being published between issues #11 and 12 during the "DC One Million" crossover event. As this was a quarterly book, no additional Annuals or Specials were published using this title.[6]
  • Superman/Batman was a series featuring DC's two most iconic characters and published from August 2003 until August 2011. This series is not firmly set in continuity, but has been a launching point for several large storylines, including the downfall of Lex Luthor as President of the United States and the return of Kara Zor-El as Supergirl from Krypton. 87 issues and five Annuals were published before the title was cancelled in August 2011 by The New 52 relaunch.[7]

Miller, who also served as executive story editor for the television series, Smallville Season 11 is a digital first title that began, like most other digital titles, by releasing three chapters a month digitally, then a print collection; however, it was later decided the four weeks of a month would now play host to a new series of shorter side stories that run parallel to the main story at the time.

  • Batman/Superman began publication in June 2013. The series is written by Greg Pak and illustrated by Jae Lee.[16] The series features the first encounter between the two heroes as they exist in The New 52.
