Superman Forever Radio Episode 24- June/Early July 2007

Leave a reply
It’s the Thursday review episode, and we have progressed one month to June of 2007, but…

June, 2007 had a huge amount of Superman books… exactly one. Superman Confidential #5 was the only Superman book published with that cover date.
No Joke. One in-continuity Superman comic.
But, “Krypton” ratchets to a breathless climax, and it all comes together, all at once.
So, it’s time to look at Tim Sale, and his work on Superman, Heroes, and more.
Then, we look at what was happening elsewhere in the DC Universe, before moving on to Early July 2007, where Superman confronts a “Crisis of Faith” and, will the real redemption please stand up, please stand up??
It all leads to next week’s look at Action Comics #850, Superman #663, and Superman/Batman #35.
And don’t forget to come back Sunday, when it’s time to take a look at the seminal Superman stories of Alan Moore- “For the Man Who Has Everything” and “Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow“, and the animated debut of Metallo in Superman: The Animated Series.

The Thrilling Adventures of Superman, Episode 16

The Thrilling Adventures of Superman

Welcome to episode 16 of The Thrilling Adventures of Superman. The show’s mission is to explore the history and development of the Superman in his formative years by chronicling the Man of Steel’s Golden Age adventures in comics, radio and film.

We’re sticking with the daily strip for a second episode in a row as Michael look at the fourth storyline from the Superman daily newspaper strip. Clark Kent, promoted… Lois Lane, demoted?! That’s right… Lois makes her largest appearance in the newspaper strip to date — only to get demoted back to the Lovelorn column! Scheming to get her job back, she gets on to the trail of a wife-beating, jewel-smuggling nogoodnik and hilarity ensues. It’s only a 12-strip story, but Lois is still as full-on crazy as her comic book counterpart. Fun times! Also this episode, Michael concludes his two-part Spotlight on Superman’s co-creator, artist Joe Shuster.

Episode 23- Superman, When He Was a Boy

Welcome to Superman Forever Radio episode 23, the twice weekly Superman podcast.

This week, we take a look at Superboy, from the adventures of Superman when he was a boy, to Conner Kent, and his time as a television star.

The young hero that was, then wasn’t, then was again. And the menace of Superboy Prime.

Before that, though, we hear from Man of Steel castmates Michael Shannon, and Diane Lane on their auditions for the movie, as well as the latest rumors swarming around the internet.

Then, it’s a look at a very draining episode of Superman: The Animated Series, as The Parasite makes his debut, and underwhelms.

Episode 91: January 1992 Part 2

Welcome to the ninety-first 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.

The discussion of the Superman books with a January 1992 cover date continues this week as Jeff and Mike discuss Adventures of Superman #486 and Action Comics #673. Both issues take place during Thanksgiving which makes sense considering they were released around November of 1991. In Adventures of Superman Jimmy continues to deal with being homeless as Superman fights the Intergang robot known as Purge. In Action Comics Bruno Mannheim escapes from Stryker’s Island leading to a “final” face-off between him and the Man of Steel. Quick heads up; things don’t go so well for Mannheim. In addition to all of that the boys go through the ads from the January 1992 books, Mike tells you what else was going on in the DCU and more of YOUR e-mails are read. It is a shorter episode this time around but that doesn’t mean it isn’t full of Man of Steel goodness!

And finally, the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel team up to face… Doc Magnus and the Metal Men??? It’s all in Superman/Batman # 34.

Remember to come back Sunday for an all new episode.
