Episode 160: February 1994 Part 2
Welcome to the one hundred and sixtieth 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 time out Mike and Jeff continue their look through the Superman books with a February 1994 cover date. In Adventures of Superman #509 a new villain is introduced and a character from Legacy of Superman returns! Then in Action Comics #696 Superman finds a planet where the cities are wrapped in plastic, so to speak, and he faces off against the planet’s Champion. The boys also look at the ads that peppered these books, chat about an episode of Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (Honeymoon in Metropolis if you must know) and then go over the other books that DC published that month in a segment they like to call Elsewhere in the DC Universe.

Next time: The Reign of Tomorrow begins and the boys plan to kick it off in fine style. While they won’t be covering two-thirds of these titles in as much depth as the main books Mike and Jeff thought it would be worth an episode to look at Steel #1, Superboy #1 and Supergirl #1.
Hi Guys! Great show as always. Congrats to Jeffrey for his new home and also for all of his hard work on Dark Knight Over Metropolis. How you got things done on this I’ll never know. Great job. You should pat yourself on the back….Come on Michael, you know I’m kidding. This was the “brain-child” of “From Crisis To Crisis”. They might have published this trade without you guys mentioning it, but I kind of doubt it. You both should take great pleasure in it. Now if we can just keep the “Man Of Steel” trades going past Volume 8 which hopefully comes out in January, I’ll be very happy. I loved how Mike was making light of the extended hiatus by starting his synopsis from Superman In Exile. You guys shouldn’t feel guilty about taking time off. Life sometimes gets in the way. I cannot add to, detract from or argue about anything covered in either of your synopses. It was nice to see Doomsday still tied to that meteor Cyborg Superman tied him to. I didn’t know how he eventually escaped it and will be nice to find out. Can I ask something stupid? I probably should know this, but where does the “Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo” sound clip come from? Are you guys excited about all of the season of the Adventures Of Superboy being available on DVD? I have all of mine now, and can’t wait to get started watching. Better end for now. Thanks for keeping me entertained at work!!
