Question
Hi steven, i am a big fan of superman and have been wanting to collect superman comics and was wondering what are the current comics out with superman on them and what is the difference between them?

Answer
Currently, Superman's adventures regularly appear in three comics:

"Action Comics" (monthly)
"Superman" (monthly)
"Superman/Batman" (monthly)

"Action Comics" and "Superman" are tied-in together, with "Superman/Batman" fitting in to the same continuity, but with separate storylines. "Superman/Batman" chronicles the adventures of the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight together in the one book.

Starting in January 2006, DC Comics began publishing an alternate Superman comic book, "All Star Superman" which is not connected with the other Superman comic books. "All Star Superman" is basically a different version of the Man of Steel, sitting in its own alternate universe.
