FROM CRISIS TO CRISIS EPISODE 52: JANUARY 1990

Episode 52: January 1990

Welcome to the fifty-second 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 we begin the fourth year of the Post Crisis on Infinite Earths Superman with the comics that came out with the January 1990 cover date. In Superman #39 Jimmy finds himself trapped in a world without color and comes face to face with someone who could be his father. Also Clark Kent makes a decision that rocks the staff of the Daily Planet. In Adventures of Superman #462 we are treated to a Christmas tale where the secret of Alice the office worker is revealed. Finally in Action Comics #649 we get the finale to the Brainiac Trilogy where Clark settles into some familiar new digs and Brainiac gets his groove back…sort of. In addition to all of that we have elsewhere in the DCU, which includes what amounts to a glorified cameo in Doom Patrol #29. Jeffrey wraps it all up with the Elsewhere in the Real World segment.

Next week: A four armed terror, the return of a certain imp from the fifth dimension and an over sized anniversary issue of Action Comics.

FROM CRISIS TO CRISIS EPISODE 50: DECEMBER 1989

Episode 50: December 1989

Welcome to the FIFTIETH 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 the show hits the big 5-0 and the boys can hardly believe it. Nearly a year ago Jeff and Mike sat down to record the first episode of this series and in that time they have interviewed two creators and covered not only Man of Steel but three years worth of Superman comics. The boys have had a ball and the end is nowhere in sight yet.

This is a pretty meaty episode too. First off they cover Superman #38 where Superman has to deal with a Roland Emmerich style disaster and a “Mr. Complainy Pants” Dr. Hamilton. Then in Adventures of Superman #461 a certain something of solitude returns. Action Comics #648 has the second part of The Brainiac Trilogy. Finally, at least in terms of Superman appearing in other comics, we have Christmas with the Super-Heroes #2, Justice League Europe #10 and Wonder Woman numbers 37 through 39. Then there’s the usual Elsewhere in the DCU and the Elsehwhere in the Real World segments.

Mike and Jeff would like to thank their listeners for downloading the show every week and taking the time to listen to their somewhat coherent ramblings. They appreciate it and here’s to over 200 more episodes.
