Hey Fam, I wasn’t quite sure where to ask this, but I knew my DC Family could help me out.
I’ve looked, but I’m sure I’m not looking in the correct location.
So, Here is my overall question…
Is there a database or complete listing of all books, and their issue numbers in order?
What I mean by that is, for example, when it comes to all the Rebirth series that DC did starting around 2016…… is there a list or site or something that shows where each Book ended in their respective “Rebirth’ series?
For example, what issue did Superman Rebirth end? Like, did it end at Superman #45?
And if so, where does it go after that? Is it New Justice?
I get conflicting answers online.
I hate bouncing around when reading character’s storyline, I like to go in order. But so many times, that is so hard to figure out, because they will throw in a “Special Edition”, or do a “Crossover Event” with other books, and other various events.
I’m not personally aware of a site like that. But the DC Universe Infinite servuce shouod include the years a certain ongoing or mini-series started and ended. Such as…The Martian Manhunter (1998-2001).
There’s a concrete starting point to each Rebirth series after the end of the New 52, but there’s no definite, conclusive, story-driven end other than when they drop the branding. “Rebirth” was not meant to be an independent story, but a banner to signal that the New 52 era had concluded.
Yeah. I know. But, its so confusing knowing where to pick up next with superman comic or batman, or flash, etc.
maybe its just my OCD analytical mapping brain that drives me insane
Pretty much this. “Rebirth,” “Infinite Frontier,” “Dawn of DC” are more branding titles than they are clear storylines.
But I can answer this. For the purposes of your question, I would say that the “Rebirth” era of Superman ended with Superman (2016-2018) #45 and Action Comics #999. After that, you should go to Action Comics #1000, followed by the 2018 Man of Steel series, and then you can start the current volume of Superman which started in 2018 and Action Comics #1001. That would put you into the Bendis era of Superman (or “New Justice,” I guess, since I’m only just realizing that was a thing). Anyway, it’s like HubCityQuestion said, Rebirth was more of a branding label than a definitive storyline, but I’m pretty sure you could do what I just did with Superman if you follow the publication dates.
