Superman is a comic book series featuring the DC Comics superhero of the same name. The second relaunch of the main Superman title, following the cancellation of the second volume in 2011, it began publication as part of DC's The New 52, a company-wide relaunch initiative and reboot following the Flashpoint limited series earlier that year, and the second full-on reboot following the 1986 maxiseries Crisis on Infinite Earths. It ran from 2011 to 2016, before being cancelled and relaunched as part of the DC Rebirth line.
Publication history DC Comics launched Superman volume 3 with issue #1 in September 2011 (cover dated November 2011), as part of The New 52. The first three issues saw George Pérez doing the scripting and breakdowns. Dan Jurgens began to co-write and draw Superman with Keith Giffen. Their first issue was #7 (May 2012). As of September 2012's issue #0, Scott Lobdell and Kenneth Rocafort became the creative team. John Romita Jr. drew the Superman series in collaboration with writer Geoff Johns in 2014. Romita's Superman pencils were inked by Klaus Janson. Superman's secret identity as Clark Kent was revealed to the world in a storyline by writer Gene Luen Yang in 2015. This series ended its run with the release of issue #52 (July 2016).
