1 came to an end with the final chapter of the Grounded story arc serving as the final issue of the series.
Unfortunately, Roberson never got to prove himself with his own story on the book as with the launch of The New 52 in September 2011, after 72 years and 714 issues (including Adventures of Superman) Superman Vol. However, JMS left the book earlier then planned and new writer Chris Roberson worked off of JMS’ original notes and plotline. After the arc, the series was written by Busiek from 654-675, with James Robinson taking the reigns in 677 and holding them tight until the milestone 700th issue where JMS took over with an arc entitled “Grounded” that would feature Superman walking across America. It was in 2006 with #650 that the title returned to its original name, kicking off it’s new era with the One Year Later storyline co-written by Geoff Johns and Kurt Busiek. With its eighty-sixth issue Superman began it’s mostly consistent monthly publishing rate which it continued using up until 1986 when the series ended at 423 issues, the last issue featuring Alan Moore’s acclaimed story “Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?” After that, the title’s numbering was continued through Adventures of Superman which lasted for several decades. Superman Vol.1 #1 – 423 + 665 – 714 (1939-2011) : Superman launched with its first issue (that doesn’t actually have a #1 on the cover) and although it was a seasonal book for its first five issues, with its sixth it began a bimonthly publishing rate and kept up with said rate until its eighty-fifth.
