FROM CRISIS TO CRISIS EPISODE 35: “WINTER” 1988

Episode 35: “Winter” 1988

Welcome to the thirty-fifth 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 “gray months” conclude this time out with the second set of Superman books that had no cover date. This doesn’t stop Jeff and Mike from looking at Superman #26 and Adventures of Superman #449, both of which bore the Invasion: Aftermath trade dress in addition to talking about Invasion #2, which Mike makes no bones about loving. So this week you get the first appearance of Baron Sunday, Guardian vs. Gangbuster, the return of the Newsboy Legion, Jimmy meeting Bibbo and lots and lots of super-heroes and villains versus lots and lots of aliens. It’s an action packed episode, folks with action, suspense and even a smattering of voodoo.

FROM CRISIS TO CRISIS EPISODE 34: “HOLIDAY 1988”

Episode 34: “Holiday” 1988

Welcome to the thirty-fourth 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 kick off 2010 by returning to their regular format and examining the books that came out with the cover date of…well, there’s actually no cover date on these books at all. Mike explains why in the episode but suffice to say this month could either be referred to as “Holiday 1988” (because other books that came out at the same time bore that cover date) or, as Jeffrey puts it, the first of two “gray months”. In any case the books the guys discuss are Superman #25, featuring the return of Brainiac and Adventures of Superman #448, featuring a very cranky Superman. Plus Mike gives you all you need to know about Invasion! in less than five minutes and a few e-mails to boot.
