A comprehensive guide to every title in DC Comics’ New 52 relaunch, from 2011 to 2015 and how they can be read via omnibuses, hardcovers, and trade paperbacks. Part of Crushing Krisis’s Crushing Comics. Last updated March 2016 with titles scheduled for release through June 2017.
In 2011, DC Comics did something radical – something they hadn’t done for 25 years: they rebooted their entire line of titles. Just as their original continuity reset came in the wake of the Crisis on Infinite Earths event, this one followed another massive event – Flashpoint.
As with the original Crisis reboot, not every aspect of every title was altered. The popular, long-running Green Lanterns story by Geoff Johns remained largely intact, as did Batman’s history with its multiple Robin’s. Yet, the history of DC’s Universe was condensed to the past five years, which saw some historical events reimagined – like Batman’s first meeting with Superman.
This new status quo launched to massive sales and customer interest, but over time meandering creative direction saw many titles flagging in their third and fourth years. With fan interest waning, DC chose to end New 52 just shy of its fifth birthday as the original launch titles reached their 52nd issues.
The next reboot was anything but a reset – DC Rebirth integrated New 52 stories and logic into DC’s pre-Flashpoint history.

This page contains every title from the New 52 period, regardless of if they carried the New 52 branding. The titles are arranged into line groups, as outlined directly below. Alternately, you can browse an index of titles in order of launch at the bottom of the page.
Note that one-shots have been condensed into their parent title – as with Wonder Woman: Futures End appearing under Wonder Woman.

Batwoman, Volume 2 #0 (’11), 1-40, 0 (’12), & Annuals 1-2 (2011 – 2015)
This series was launched by co-authors J. H. Williams and William Blackman, with JHW alternating arcs of his stunning, art nouveau inspired art. The pair walked off the book abruptly after a dispute with DC editorial over their interference with the team’s long-term plots, including the intrusive nature of the Villain’s Month event and the status of Batwoman’s same-sex relationship.
Writer Marc Andreyko picked up the book from there, and despite some early positive notes the end of the title is generally reviled by fans. Batwoman would later appear in #23-26 of Batman and Robin Eternal.
