Episode 81: September 1991 Part 1

Welcome to the eighty-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.

FROM CRISIS TO CRISIS IS BACK WITH ANOTHER JAM-PACKED EPISODE OF AWESOME SUPERMAN GOODNESS!

This week Michael and Jeffrey start their look at the Superman books with the cover date September 1991. The episode kicks off with a discussion of War of the Gods (which both Jeff and Mike didn’t like at all) and then moves into what is the shortest synopsis and discussion in the history of the show. It seems that Mike and Jeff didn’t care for Superman: The Man of Steel #3 either. After that, though, the episode kicks into high gear as the boys dig into Superman #59. In that issue Superman and Lois head off to the mountains to have a little chat. Finally there is an e-mail that sparks a diatribe from Jeff and the Elsewhere, Elsewhere section.

After a week off because Mike was sick the boys are back with the first episode of 2011! In this exciting episode Jeff and Mike look at the back half of the Superman books with an August 1991 cover date. An old foe returns for the first time in  Adventures of Superman #481 while in Action Comics #668 Superman has to deal with all kinds of wacky theories about Lex Luthor’s death and Jeff has to deal with Mike’s impression of John Travolta. Finally the boys barely talk about Adventures of Superboy #19 before heading into Elsewhere in the DCU!

For those interested here is the cover to the issue of Adventures of Superboy discussed in this issue.
