As a consequence of introducing this series alongside its already existing titles, DC Comics was able to publish a new Superman comic each week.

I was just curious on which exact titles they were. I could have sworn there was more than than that.

Once in a while they had a bi-week, but to take that over they also released Superman: The Man of Tomorrow. Issues only came out once every...god...3-4 months I think, but yeah, the comics were weekly and this title resulted in no bi-weeks.

Yep. "Man Of Tomorrow" launched in June of 1995 and would be released during the skip week, which was when there was an extra week in a month. Usually DC and sometimes Marvel wouldn't publish anything of importance then. So that's when both companies began doing the quarterly books. But in DC's case, that extra week became the launching point for what was known as the Fifth Week event. The Tangent books debuted in 1997 and 1998, I think it was, and this resulted in DC's quarterly books being bumped to make room. And then they were dropped all together since the Fifth Week became a regular thing.

"The Man Of Steel" launched in June of 1991 and ran until 2003. "Adventures Of Superman" was the original solo book renamed in 1986. A second solo book launched when the titles restarted following the origin reboot.
