In September 2011, The New 52 imprint publications initiative was organized in a relaunch of the DC Comics line. The relaunch saw DC introduce same-day release of physical comics with digital platforms, as well as characters from the former WildStorm and Vertigo imprints being absorbed into a rebooted DC Universe. The intent was to publish 52 ongoing titles each month across the DC Universe. However, DC has also counted one-shots, miniseries and maxiseries in that number. In subsequent Septembers following the launch, DC has featured unique publishing initiatives to commemorate the relaunch. DC released a total of 93 ongoing titles across multiple "wave" releases, to "constantly refresh the line". To expand The New 52 universe, DC has also released 21 one-shots, 17 miniseries and 3 maxiseries. The New 52 titles are organized under seven different "families," grouping similar characters or themes within the books together. (Full list...)
