* In the ComicBook industry, recycled titles are a common method for companies to maintain UsefulNotes/{{trademark}}s, especially Creator/MarvelComics and Creator/DCComics. When a new series is introduced with the same title as an older series, it will share the same title and be known as the next volume of that series, but the numbering may reset at a later date as if it were continuing the numbering of the earlier series, so the series is alternately presented as both a newer series and an older series. This can be played with further when the series changes its title to something else during its run, and later spinoffs and mini-series are introduced based on the different title while the original title resumes. The titles of spinoffs and miniseries may be further recycled, sometimes with little to no connection to the prior story.
