After reading a recent issue of Superman, I'm looking at possibly getting some back issues of the title.

Can someone give me so insight as to:

1) With what issue do each of the story arcs begin since Busiek took over?

2) Are there any story arcs that 'crossover' with other Superman titles? Is so, do you have any idea with what titles and issues it crosses over with?

Thanks for any input/help you can help.

Busiek did the following; Superman #650-653 and Action Comics #838-843 compromise "Up, Up & Away". Co-written with Geoff Johns. Superman #654-658, 660-664, 666-667 and Superman Annual #13 compromise "Camelot Falls" volumes one and two. Action Comics #841-843 make up "Back In Action". Action Comics #850 stands on it's own, but sets up material for Geoff Johns mainly. Action Comics #852-854 and Superman #665 center around Jimmy Olsen. Superman #668-670 make up "The Third Kryptonian". Superman #671-673 is "The Insect Queen" and #674 & #675 are known as "Shadows Linger".


2) Are there any story arcs that 'crossover' with other Superman titles? Is so, do you have any idea with what titles and issues it crosses over with?

Superman #650-653 and Action Comics #838-840 was written by Busiek and Geoff Johns. Story material started by Busiek in Superman #659 crosses over with Action Comics #848 and 849, which was written by Fabian Nicieza. Though it is not strictly a crossover. Mainly one character and a common theme are shared.
