Superman Post-Zero Hour Update #2
🕑 Added 2022-07-01 01:32:25 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
My wife was out of town on business this week, so I was able to put in a bunch of hours of Superman work the last couple nights.
It's definitely easier going through Superman, since there are four main series and they all have a triangle numbering system that you can keep track of as you go. I got lucky and found this resource on Reddit which lists every comic from the triangle era. Other than keeping track of the order to review each comic in, it also helped me find names of random one-shot issues missing from DC Universe Infinite.
For those of you who don't know what the triangle era is; each main Superman title literally had a triangle on the cover listing the number, so readers could make sure they didn't miss a single issue of Superman each year. For example:
The somewhat odd thing about the whole triangle numbering is that (for someone like me trying to put together a comprehensive reading order) occasionally there would be a two-part story in only one title that would actually throw off the numbering. In that case you have to decide if it's better to split the story into two separate lines to keep triangle numbering, or keep the story together. It doesn't happen to often, but there were a few times I had to make the decision based on what was happening in the other books.
Next week I'm out of town, but I'll be back in two weeks with more Superman updates before the DC and Marvel solicitations for October come out around the 15th.
Have a great weekend! As always, if you've read anything great lately, recommend it in the comments!
