Two fortnightly, Batman and Superman, eight monthly: Justice League, Wonder Woman, Batman / Superman, Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman, Harley Quinn and DC Crossover (which will collect all the events that will form the backbone of the DC Universe, starting from the Leviathan event miniseries which involves all the greatest detectives of the multiverse in an international espionage case). The number one of these titles is collected under the name of City Edition: each cover is in fact set in an Italian city. To create these exclusive illustrations for Panini Comics were 10 artists from the world of comics: Lee Bermejo, Simone Bianchi, Lelio Bonaccorso, Giorgio Cavazzano, Matteo Cremona, Gabriele dell’Otto, Emanuela Lupacchino, Milo Manara, Francesco Mattina, Andrea Sorrentino .
