When destruction reigns in Metropolis and a scientist goes missing, Superman takes a hand (eventually) as Michael looks at the Superman story from ACTION COMICS #21. The issues sees Superman taking on the disasters, robots, the National Guard and more in a story that lets us bid farewell to Superman’s most-frequent and nefarious foe, the Ultra-Humanite.

Episode 107: August 1992 Part 1

Welcome to the one hundred and 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.

 Things suck this week…

Things are a real pain in the neck this week…

Jeff and Mike don’t drink…wine this week…

All right…enough with the jokes. Mike and Jeff are back this week to talk about the first two Superman books with an August 1992 cover date and both issues have a vampire as their villain! All of the blood-sucking plot threads from the past few months come to a head this time out as Superman fights him a bloodsucker. Robin (sidekick to the Batman) comes to Metropolis to lend a hand as well and even teams up with Jimmy Olsen. Sit back and listen to the boys argue about Superman: The Man of Steel #14 and Superman #70. After that Jeffrey gives you the Meanwhile, At The Daily Planet segment complete with a long tangent on Batman Returns!

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.
