Month: January 2013

Jon and Dave take another week to kick back with the Metropolis Mailbag, reading through the mighty mountain of missives we’ve received from you, our precocious public.  So take a load off and come give a listen!

David Weter of Superman Forever Radio, PADSmash!: An Incredible Hulk Podcast, Green Lantern’s Light, and Superman Forever Radio.  If you have thoughts on the books we cover or on our comments regarding them, please share them by writing an email or comment below.

The first major New 52 Superman crossover continues, and Jon, Dave, and our friend Charlie are back to talk about what was good, what was bad, and what made us go, “Hmmmm!”  Here are the stories up for review:

Superboy 15 — “Shattered Steel!” — Superboy’s dying, and only Superman’s armor can save him, but at what cost to the clone of steel?

Supergirl 15 — “Into Kandor” — What happens when H’el sends Supergirl into the last bastion of her home civilization?

Superman 15 — “Because I’m a Scorpion” — We wanted more Luthor, and we got more Luthor!

Emails return next episode, and as our format for this period is going, all other Super-related titles released this month were reviewed last episode.

Thanks so much for listening. We do hope you enjoy the show, “we” being Jon M. Wilson from Golden Age Superman and J. David Weter of Superman Forever Radio, PADSmash!: An Incredible Hulk Podcast, Green Lantern’s Light, and Superman Forever Radio.  If you have thoughts on the books we cover or on our comments regarding them, please share them by writing an email or comment below.

Expect the next episode January 23.  I hope.

2013 is here, folks!  And for our first episode, we are looking at the final month of books from 2012.  This week, we’ll cover Action Comics 15 as well as all the peripheral goings-on in the worlds of the Superfolks.  This includes the usual team books of Worlds’ Finest 7 and Justice League 15 (along with Aquaman 15 for “Throne of Atlantis”), plus guest appearances from Superboy in The Ravagers 7 and Legion Lost 15.  No Teen Titans this time out because the team is involved in rescuing Tim Drake from the Joker and didn’t take Superboy along for the ride.

Thanks so much for listening. We do hope you enjoy the show, “we” being Jon M. Wilson from Golden Age Superman and J. David Weter of Superman Forever Radio, PADSmash!: An Incredible Hulk Podcast, Green Lantern’s Light, and Superman Forever Radio.  If you have thoughts on the books we cover or on our comments regarding them, please share them by writing an email or comment below.

Well, it’s been a year, and quite a year at that!  Jon and Dave are here to commemorate the end of our first twelve months of Superman podcasting by kicking back with the movie that was the start of fandom for so many of us, and we are joined by our long lost third chair, Mr. Michael Kaiser!  So join us for a journey back to those magical moments when we were made to believe a man can fly.

Note: Commentary is done with the 2000 Director’s Cut of the film.

Thanks for listening, and we’ll be back next Wednesday January 9 for our next regular episode!
