The series included a #1,000,000 issue (November 1998) being published between issues #11 and 12 during the "DC One Million" crossover event.

Miller, who also served as executive story editor for the television series, Smallville Season 11 is a digital first title that began, like most other digital titles, by releasing three chapters a month digitally, then a print collection; however, it was later decided the four weeks of a month would now play host to a new series of shorter side stories that run parallel to the main story at the time. These parallel story arcs are collected in print as part of the Smallville Season 11 Specials, which run periodically.
