New 52 45 The grand finale

Well, folks, here we are.  The final episode of the show, at least for the foreseeable future.  In this episode, Jon and Dave go through the extensive mailbag, bawl out the writer of a dumb review, and go through all the nooks and crannies of Action Comics 18.  We also take time to look back on the series and look ahead to the future of the Superman books.  We hope you enjoy it, and we want to thank each and every one of you who has supported the show through downloading, emailing, and/or telling a friend about us.  I don’t think the reading experience of the New 52 adventures of Superman will quite be the same for any of us without this show, and we appreciate all of you who have been with us for the journey so far.

01 Justice Society Origins — How It All Began

The first episode of a brand-new podcast has arrived!

In Justice Society Origins, JON WILSON (of Golden Age Superman, this show’s parent podcast) and MICHAEL BAILEY (of several other podcasts, not the least of which are From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast and Tales of the Justice Society of America) begin at the beginning with All-Star Comics 3, where the feature characters from several other comics come together to discuss their recent adventures over dinner.  It may not be the most exciting of beginnings for the world’s first successful super-team, but it is where we find ourselves today.

Also in each episode will be an origin spotlight.  This time around, we look at the beginnings and legacy of the original Red Tornado, Ma Hunkel.

Thanks for listening!  Don’t forget to tell your friends!

New 52 44 H’el on Earth conclusion (for reals this time) and emails

Charlie joins us one last time for this penultimate episode of The New 52 Adventures of Superman, as we take a look at Superman17, the epic conclusion to the landmark Superbooks crossover H’el on Earth!  At least, that’s what we wish it were.  Turns out, it’s not so epic and barely a conclusion, but we’ll talk more about that on the show.  We also take a dig into the mail bag and read your emails for not quite the last time.

Everything is drawing to a close.  Next week, the final episode, covering Action Coimcs 18!

New 52 43 H’el on Earth conclusion (just kidding)

Jon and Dave are back to finish out their coverage of H’el on Earth with the help of Charlie Niemeyer.  The problem is, it was so late after covering Superboy 17 and Supergirl 17 that we had to go to bed, so Superman 17’s coverage will be here with emails next time.  So come give a listen, and we’ll see you back here again next week!
