Due to the Infinite Crisis miniseries and the “One Year Later” jump in time in the DC Universe, DC canceled The Flash (vol. 2) in January 2006 at #230. A new series, The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive, began on June 21, 2006. The initial story arc of this series, written by Danny Bilson and Paul De Meowith art by Ken Lashley, focused on Bart Allen‘s acceptance of the role of the Flash.

The second volume of the title was published in May 2008, written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning and featured a new team of characters from the Annihilation: Conquest storyline.
Abnett and Lanning’s work on the Annihilation: Conquest story laid the foundation for the new Guardians of the Galaxy book that they had been wanting to launch for some time. The title ran parallel with Nova vol. 4, which was also written by Abnett and Lanning. The two crossed over in the storylines “War of Kings” and “Realm of Kings“. Paul Pelletier pencilled the first seven issues. Brad Walker and Wes Craig alternated pencilling tasks from #8 to #25.
The book was cancelled in April 2010 with issue 25. Some plot threads were concluded in The Thanos Imperative 1–6 and its two one-shots (May 2010 – Jan 2011).

The ongoing The Sensational Spider-Man series was initially conceived to be the flagship showcase for the new Ben Reilly version of Spider-Man. It replaced the Web of Spider-Man series.
The initial seven issues (#0–6, January–July 1996) were written and pencilled by Dan Jurgens, who had helped revive interest in Superman for DC Comics in the mid-1990s. Jurgens pushed strongly for the restoration of Peter Parker as the true Spider-Man and plans were made to enact this soon, but Bob Harras, the new Editor-in-Chief, demanded the story be deferred until after the Onslaught crossover. Jurgens had by this stage become disillusioned with the immense amount of group planning and constant changes of ideas and directions. He took this as the last straw, resigning from the title.
He was succeeded by writer Todd DeZago and penciller Mike Wieringo, who remained as the title’s regular creative team for the remainder of its run. It lasted for 35 issues (33 regularly numbered issues, as well as an initial issue #0 and the #-1 Flashback issue, released mid-run).

As part of All-New, All-Different Marvel, Uncanny X-Men was relaunched, written by Cullen Bunn with art by Greg Land. The relaunched Uncanny X-Men team features Magneto leading Psylocke, Archangel, M, Mystique, Fantomex and Sabretooth while a different team led by Storm will be called the Extraordinary X-Men. Cyclops’s fate after Battleworld is shown to us in the Death of X miniseries. (Cyclops was exposed to the Terrigen Mist and died from M-Pox.).[57]
The tagline for the relaunched series is “Bigger threats require more threatening X-Men”, and is considered to be a continuation of Bunn’s previous work on the Magneto solo series. The series will deal with threats that arise as a result of a new, more dangerous world post-Secret Wars. Summing up the team, Bunn states “They’re upholding Xavier’s dream, but they have no right to do so.”
