From Crisis to Crisis is back for another week and was almost defeated this week by one of its deadliest enemies; Mother Nature. See, where Mike lives it is the time of year where storms pop up on a nearly hourly basis and he lost power for awhile there but the weather broke and he was able to upload the episode.

Anyhow this week Jeff and Mike bring you the first three parts of DAY OF THE KRYPTON MAN and what a wild week it is. In Superman #41 Lobo comes on to the scene and accepts a challenge from some shark creatures to kill the Man of Steel before Draaga can get to him. Lobo and Superman throw down in the Fortress of Solitude in Adventures of Superman #464. DAY OF THE KRYPTON MAN continues in Action Comics #651 where Maxima (the real Maxima) finally gets to Earth to land herself a Kryptonian mate. After that the boys discuss the second issue of Superboy: The Comic Book where Clark Kent meets his future boss for the first time. Finally Mike and Jeff go through what else was going on in DC Comics that month and in the world as well.

Next week: DAY OF THE KRYPTON MAN CONCLUDES!

This is a big one, folks! Two and a half hours of From Crisis to Crisis goodness! Why two and a half hours? We have no idea but it sure was fun to record. This time out the boys talk about the Superman books that came out with the February 1990 cover date. In Superman #40 the Man of Steel fights the Four Armed Terror. In Adventures of Superman #463 we get the race of the century as Superman races Wally West, the Flash. Action Comics #650 comes up next and not only is it a great story but Mike comes clean about his criminal past. Finally Mike and Jeff bring in Superboy: The Comic Book with issue #1, based on the syndicated series that was airing at the time. They don’t cover the book as in depth as the others but they wanted to talk about it just the same. So you get all of this and the usual Elsewhere in the DCU and Elsewhere in the Real World segments plus an e-mail.

Next week: DAY OF THE KRYPTON MAN BEGINS!
