Superman Forever is Back.

We start the season with a  wrap-up the books cover dated December, 2007.

Strap on a Legion flight ring and prepare to visit the future in Action Comics 858.

The search continues for the third Kryptonian in Superman 669, with some surprising results. This leads to a discussion on SuperWOMAN (Not Girl!) which opens a vortex to the Bronze age.

Then it’s a look at the Forever People, in the third part of our Fourth World series, before Superman Confidential #7 guest-starring… The Forever People.

We also crack open a pair of Sinestro Corps specials, featuring Cyborg Superman, and Superman Prime.

Then, it’s a lot of Jack Kirby goodness as Superman: The Animated Series debuts Dan “Terrible” Turpin, and a certain gray skinned villain.

 Episode 34- Reboot Thoughts

This week’s bombshell put the screeching brakes on what would have been episode 34.

Instead, I had to talk about DC’s plan to reboot, and what it means to me, to this show, and I revisit my initial reaction to the news.

Plus- My loose itinerary for the Superman celebration in metropolis, Illinois-from Brandon Routh to Super-friends- prepare for a great time.

And, finally, an announcement that will change some things in the future.

Superman Forever Radio Episode 31- The Secret Origin of a Superman Fan

Episode 31- The Secret Origin of a Superman Fan

This week takes a different turn.

I was feeling a little sentimental after finding an old Superman book from my youth, and felt compelled to scrap the episode I had planned, in favor of a more personal look back at my own foundations of fandom.

It’s a little bit different from what I normally do, but I think it was something I needed to do.

I do take a moment to add in some news from the week, and talk a little bit about Metropolis, Illinois.

Superman Forever Radio Episode 30- September 2007

Leave a reply

This week, a change back to the old format is coming, a LIVE episode of Superman Forever Radio is on it’s way Sunday May 29, 2011, and David is testing out some new waters.

But, as far as the books cover dated September 2007:

It’s Jimmy Olsen week, as Action Comics 852 features a story within a story. Jimmy explores the world of super-powers, as Superman takes out the Kryptonite Man. And, a flashback reveals the origin of Jimmy’s signal watch.

The Jimmy Olsen train makes another stop in Superman 665, where we see the secret origin of Jimmy, which will be ret-conned out by Secret origin.

And, finally, what is making Superman lose his mind with fear? It could be a certain villain who uses fear as a motif, but you would only be half right. Superman/Batman 38 Brings us the answer, and a New God falls. Literally.
