Download Episode #218 part I!

This panel was the first of its kind in the five MegaCons I’ve attended, and being a Christian I had to check it out. I want to thank the panelists, Sergio Cariello, Billy Tucci and Chuck Dixon, for giving me permission to record their panel and share it on this podcast.

Sergio Cariello is the artist for the ACTION BIBLE. http://www.sergiocariello.com/ http://theactionbible.com/

Billy Tucci is the writer and artist for the comic book Nativity story A CHILD IS BORN. http://apostlearts.com/

Chuck Dixon wrote BATTLE OF DESTINY, a graphic novel adaption of the fall of King Saul and the rise of David, published by Ape Entertainment. http://www.dixonverse.net/

The three comic book professionals shared their perspective as Christians working in the industry. It was an honest, frank and even at times humorous discussion about their personal faith, their experiences dealing with both secular and Christian publishers, as well a dialogue with the audience.

Next Episode: The DC Comics panels, followed by episodes featuring other panels from MegaCon 2012. Next week we will resume our look at the silver age adventures of Superman.

New 52 Adventures 04 — Supergirl Superman 2

Posted on February 15, 2012 by GoldenAgeSuperman

Episode 04 download here

Rounding up the second month of Superman comics in The New 52:

Supergirl 2 — “Reunion” — Kara’s shocked to see her little baby cousin all growed up, so she punches him.  A lot.  And we ask the pointed questions, like what exactly is that guy holding in the last panel?

Superman 2 — “Flying Blind” — Superman is attacked by a monster he can’t see.  Will we ever see Superman smile again?

Plus discussion of Justice League 2 and Teen Titans 2, though the TT talk is about as brief as Superboy’s one-page involvement in the book.

Thanks so much for listening. We do hope you enjoy the show, “we” being Jon M. Wilson from Golden Age Superman, J. David Weter of PADSmash!: An Incredible Hulk Podcast and Green Lantern’s Light, as well as Michael Kaiser, coming out of retirement after having been involved with a couple different shows in months gone.  If you have thoughts on the books we cover or on our comments regarding them, please share them by writing an email or comment below.

Next episode due March 1

FROM CRISIS TO CRISIS EPISODE 127: FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND PART 4

Posted on February 10, 2012 by FromCrisistoCrisis

Episode 127: Funeral For a Friend Part 4

Welcome to the one hundred and twenty-seventh episode of From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast! This podcast has a simple premise; examine just about every Superman comic published between Man of Steel #1 in 1986 to Adventures of Superman #649 in 2006 in an informative and hopefully entertaining format.

 Part index. Part commentary. Part history lesson. All podcast.

 This week Mike and Jeff present the final episode of From Crisis to Crisis.

Why?

Because the second comic they discuss this week is titled The End, which means it is the last issue of Superman ever.

Actually Jeff and Mike look at the final two chapters of Funeral For a Friend, which took place in Superman: The Man of Steel #21 and Superman #77 respectively. In S:TMOS #21 Lois finds out that Superman’s body is gone and goes to Cadmus to see about getting it back. Apparently that fails because in Superman #77 Lois lets Lex Luthor II and Supergirl know that Cadmus is behind the theft and they go get Superman’s body.

Also, Jonathan Kent has a heart attack and dies.

And that’s where the Superman creative teams of the time left us, folks. Superman dead. Jonathan dead. Lois heartbroken and, oh yeah, Lex Luthor back on top.

Heck of a time to take several months off, don’t you think?

Mixed in with all of that is the usual talk about the two novelizations, the BBC audio drama and the obligatory complaining about the Omnibus from Mike. Jeff also has his Meanwhile, At The Daily Planet segment.

 You can subscribe to the show in two ways. First there is the RSS Feed and there is also the iTunes link.

If you want to comment on the show or contact the hosts you can always private message Mike and Jeff, at the Superman Homepage, leave comments here or at the Homepage or here or email them by clicking this link.  All questions, concerns, fears, trepidations and cheap shots are welcome.

Also, be sure to check out Mike’s blog, the Fortress of Baileytude, for all kinds of neat Death and Return of Superman related scans, videos and more!

Next time: Mike and Jeff begin several Death and Return of Superman interlude episodes with the one shot Legacy of Superman special and a look at the Superman Gallery. Also they will probably talk about a certain video that has been making the rounds lately.
