FROM CRISIS TO CRISIS EPISODE 270 – THE HONEYMOON

Episode 270 – The Honeymoon

Welcome to the two hundredth and seventieth episode of From Crisis to Crisis – The Married Years: A Superman and Lois 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.

The nuptials are out of the way, so it’s time for Mike and Jeff to talk about Lois and Clark’s honeymoon! Things start out normal enough…at least normal for Lois and Clark…with the reception followed by a trip to Hawaii in Adventures of Superman #541. Then a supposed monster starts tearing up the place and Superboy shows up and Lois lies but doesn’t lie about being a member of the Special Crimes Unit. Things really go pear shaped when Clark is shot at the end of the issue and kidnapped, leaving an angry Lois behind to save the day. Then, in Action Comics #728, Clark finds that his kidnapper is none other than Mister Naga, brother to the man Lois caused to be locked up in the wedding album. It seems that Lois has something that Naga wants back. Clark thinks back to a time when he was in a similar situation as Superman, which allows the creative teams to actually have a costumed Superman with powers show up during this storyline. Finally, in Superman: The Man of Steel #63 it’s Lois to the rescue as the honeymoon comes to an action packed and explosive end!

Below are the covers and select pages from the books discussed during this episode.

  1. “I like strong women” me too like me too. Lois in the Man of Steel issue is kind of channeling Lara Croft Tomb Raider. This book would’ve come out soon after the first tomb raider game came out so maybe there’s a reason for that. Lara Croft and Lois do both have the strong independent go getter kind of vibe.

  2. I forget if you mentioned it, but it was kind of weird that Lois lost her camo pants right when they got captured and her black tanktop happened to have shorts attached. It was clearly intentional in the art, but wasn’t mentioned at all.

  3. Kara – I never thought of Croft and Lois being similar but I can see that.

    Devin – I did not mention it because I did not notice it at all. Went right by me. As things often do.
