Now the saga explodes in Issue #2 of the senses-shattering limited series from writer Chris Claremont and artist Al Milgrom, and nothing will ever be the same for Kitty Pryde or Wolverine again! Probably.

Under the ruthless guidance of the enigmatic Ogun, Kitty is stripped of memory, identity, and mercy as she is reforged into a silent blade in human form! The bright, phasing X-Man we thought we knew is gone… replaced by a masked assassin who answers only to Ogun.

Claremont cranks up the psychological tension! Milgrom drenches every page in shadow and danger! And Steeven and Ed break it all down; the ninja training, the emotional stakes, and the moral gray areas.

Face front, comic fans, Episode Two of The Comic Book Super Show dives headlong into another intense chapter of this legendary 1984 mini-series. The claws are out. The mask is on. And the student has become the weapon.

Don’t miss it!

But will their plan work or will the Joes prevail once again.

That's today as we take a look at G.I. Joe a Real American Hero #3:The Trojan Gambit.

It's like Die Hard, but instead of Nakatomi Plaza, you have the Pit. Instead of John McClane you have Clutch, Breaker, and Steeler. And rather than a group of foreign terrorists, you get one big, silly looking robot.

In this episode of Hither Came Conan, Steeven drags us deep into Conan the Barbarian #40: The Fiend from the Forgotten City, a sun-scorched nightmare where greed is the only map and survival is never guaranteed.

Conan stumbles upon the lost city of Ababenzaar, a place stuffed with crumbling towers, ancient corpses, and a gemstone so powerful it might as well be a god in disguise.

The beefy barbarian cuts his way through ambushes and supernatural horror, only to learn (yet again) that cursed cities never go quietly… and neither do the things bound inside them.

So grab your sword, mind your bargains, and maybe leave the shiny rock where you found it — because this is Hither Came Conan Episode 62, and the Forgotten City does not forgive.

Conan the Barbarian #40: The Fiend from the Forgotten City was published by Marvel Comics in April of 1974.

From the shadowed halls of Chalmers Laboratories to the graveyard’s moonlit stones, a devasting experiment leaves a scientist presumed dead — only to return as a hooded, bullet-proof terror whose very touch spells doom.

When a night watchman is found dead with radium burns and Sergeant Casey points an accusing finger at Superman, Clark Kent must don the cape and clear the name of the city’s greatest hope. But nothing's as it seems. 

Will Superman unmask the glowing fiend before Metropolis is plunged into panic?

I mean, probably.

Two lifelong comic junkies fire up a brand-new podcast and crack open a Marvel time capsule.

Welcome to Episode 1 of The Comic Book Super Show, as hosts Ed and Steeven kick off their very first season by diving headfirst into Kitty Pryde & Wolverine #1 from August of 1984, a moody, dialogue-heavy, slow-burn classic from Chris Claremont and Al Milgrom that helped define the golden age of 80s Marvel Comics.

Before Wolverine pops his claws…

Before ninjas strike…

Before the body count rises…

This issue dares to do something unthinkable: no costume, no combat, and barely a whiff of Wolverine at all.

Instead, it’s all about Kitty Pryde

She's heartbroken, homesick, and caught in a globe-spanning web of crime, family betrayal, and international intrigue that stretches from suburban Illinois to the shadowy streets of Japan.

Along the way, Ed and Steeven relive what it was like to read this comic off the rack in the mid-80s, unpack why this era of Marvel still hits so hard, and explore how this miniseries redefined Kitty, Logan, and the very idea of what an X-Men story could be.

There’s nostalgia.

There’s history.

There’s Claremontian wordiness.

There’s spinner racks, Secret Wars, golden ages, and the birth of one of comics’ most enduring relationships.

This is not just where the story begins.

It’s where The Comic Book Super Show is born.

Kitty Pryde and Wolverine #1 was published by Marvel Comics in August of 1984.

In this chilling chapter of Another G.I. Joe Podcast, your host Steeven spins a white-knuckle yarn from the icy pages of G.I. Joe a Real American Hero #2: Panic at the North Pole!

When a mysterious device capable of bending men’s minds vanishes into the polar night, an elite Joe strike team is dispatched on a mission where rescue is impossible, and survival is never guaranteed.

Listen on the edge of your seat as Snake-Eyes, Scarlett, Stalker, and Breaker trek their way toward a Soviet research outpost in the North Polar Ice Cap, only to find a pair of dead Russians and a missing component to a machine that induces fear.

So bundle up, folks, tune your receiver to adventure, and then rip off the knob because when the temperature drops below zero, the suspense only gets hotter!

Don’t miss it, folks! Same Joe time… same Joe channel!

In Episode 61 we slam headfirst into Conan the Barbarian #39 in which bandits ambush the our hero, his horse is ruined, a venomous snake knocks him on his ass, and fate (and a fierce young woman named Rachalla) hauls him back from the brink.

What follows is pure, uncut pulp. A seaside town held hostage by a priest who trades blood for false salvation, virginal sacrifices chained to rocks, and a gargantuan dragon that’s really a nightmare crocodile erupting from the surf.

So grab your copy and gird your loins because this is one monster fight you can read in a single gulp.

When mild-mannered Clark Kent rescues department-store heiress Patricia Randall, he stumbles into a web of fraud, false brides, and a Count with a smile like a razor. Hearts race, pearls vanish, a speeding roadster tumbles off a cliff, and only one man can save the day.

Superman! 

What can you expect from this episode?

How about leaping narration, breathless asides, and more cliffhangers than a skyscraper skyline?

You want more?

Well, we also got a staged engagement that hands corporate control to a crook, a chandelier-perched hero nicking the evidence, and a daring mid-air rescue from a scheming gang’s “sky vessel.”

But wait, there's more!

Perry White gruffs and rips up copy, Clark fights for justice (and maybe a little recognition), and the truth (like lightning) strikes the conspirators down. 

The Plot of Count Bergac is equal parts pulpy romance, high-flying action, and golden-age melodrama, all served with the Ed and Steeven's affectionate, witty commentary.

If you like your heroes square-jawed, your plots twisty, and your endings theatrical, Episode 94 is pure, crackling radio gold.

Thrill as a team of elite heroes — Hawk! Scarlett! Snake Eyes! Stalker! And an entire platoon of plastic-born patriots — race against time to stop a sinister plot known only as Operation: Lady Doomsday!

Gasp as Cobra Commander schemes from the shadows, deploying treachery, terror, and at least one incredibly unsafe island fortress!

Shiver with anticipation as brave Joes leap from transport jets, break into high-security lairs, and confront danger with grit, courage, and the occasional snappy one-liner!

Meanwhile, Steeven guides you through every twist and turn of this historic comic like a veteran announcer at the mic — illuminating character debuts, behind-the-scenes lore, military mayhem, and the explosive birth of the Real American Hero era!

So gather the family around the digital hearth, dim the lights, and tune your dial to adventure —

Because in Episode 1, the battle for freedom begins… and not everyone will make it out unscathed!

In today's episode of Hither Came Conan we tackle Conan the Barbarian #38, a tale that begins like a victory lap and ends in betrayal, monsters, and horse theft.

Steeven breaks down a story stuffed with pulp insanity: a suicidal spy, a soul-snorting priest, an invisible snake attack (yes, really), and a were-woman who refuses to stay bound by sorcery or good sense. Conan swings between mercy and murder, learns why bargains matter, and ultimately decides that Turanian politics are far more dangerous than any demon.

It’s a wild, occasionally bonkers chapter in Conan’s saga — and a blast to dissect.

This episode crackles with John Buscema’s bruising art, Roy Thomas’s pulpy inventions, and Steeven’s own savage, hilarious commentary — equal parts scholarly love and barbarian glee.

So grab your sword, your sense of wonder, and maybe a bandage, because this is a blood-spattered, laugh-out-loud deep-dive into curses, city politics, and why you should never trust a dancing girl with a dagger.

Conan the Barbarian #38: The Warrior and the Were-Woman was published by Marvel Comics in February of 1974.

From Hasbro’s humble fabric-shop beginnings to the public restroom handshake that sent Marvel into full-tilt toy-story mode, this is the raucous, unfiltered origin saga of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. 

Ride through the decades: 12-inch dolls, kung-fu grips, file-card biographies, Marvel’s first gambit, Devil’s Due detours, IDW resurrection, and Skybound’s Energon mash-up — all throttled together with Steeven’s trademark wit, weird pop-culture clips, and a feverish, emotional love letter to the eighties. If you want context, you’ll get it.

Listen if you like your history loud, your trivia obsessive, and your host gloriously unpretentious.

Subscribe, crank the volume, and prepare for a briefing: G.I. Joe was never just a toy — it was the comic that taught a generation how to play.

When a dying man gasps a single word — Chirroba — the investigation cracks open. Suddenly Clark and Lois find themselves drawn into a deadly web involving a cult of witch doctors, starved wolves, sabotage, and gangsters hiding behind tribal power. Even the police are forced into violence as the plague drives ordinary people to attack with axes, leaving officers no choice but to “put them down.” 

As Steeven and Ed dig through the evidence, they uncover the shocking truth: the outbreak wasn’t natural at all. 

From violent outbreaks to dynamite murders, from deception to a desperate chase for the cure, this is a case file unlike anything Metropolis has ever seen. And only one man can bring the criminals to justice — even if he has to drill through the Earth, fling wolves about by the tail, or retrieve a kidnapped prince chained in a cave full of snakes to do it. 

This is The Yellow Plague from Superman #11: conspiracy, murder, and mystery at Golden Age speed. Tune in… if you think you can handle the truth.

Superman #11 was published by DC Comics in May of 1941.

Steeven introduces listeners to the show’s core mission: diving deep into G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, the iconic Marvel Comics series that began in 1982 and helped define 80s action storytelling.

The mission starts here. The adventure begins now.

Think giant apes, a coiling serpent, a suspicious scientist with secrets buried beneath his lab, and a reporter with a plan so rotten it explodes into violence — all set against cliffside chases, cave-in rescues, and Superman doing what he does best: punching problems into tomorrow.

Ed and Steeven unpack the zaniness, the mangled artwork, the Scooby-Doo reveal, and the momentary moral panic that sends an entire town stampeding before ole Supes swoops in to save the day.

Buckle up — this one’s loud, ridiculous, and impossible to look away from. Tune in for fists, fables, and the finest Golden-Age nonsense this side of Metropolis.

In a valley where gold fuels madness…

One barbarian will face a curse older than the Hyborian Age itself.

In this episode of Hither Came Conan, Steeven unleashes the full, unstoppable fury of Conan the Barbarian #37: The Curse of the Golden Skull—a tale where a long-dead sorcerer rises in shimmering golden flesh, a kidnapped princess faces a fate worse than marriage, and a giant, ravenous slug slithers out of the abyss to devour anything dipped in glitter.

Captured by hillmen. Chained in the mines. Hunted through darkness by monsters too big to draw comfortably on a monthly deadline. Conan and Juma must outfight, outrun, and outwit Rotath—the golden tyrant of the Valley of the Sun—before they become the next sacrifices to the Devil of the Pits.

Epic wizardry. Impossible escapes. Gold theft on a heroic scale. And a slug that could give your nightmares nightmares.

This is the adventure Neal Adams penciled like lightning and Roy Thomas stitched together from the brink of disaster.

This is blood, sweat, chains, and molten sorcery.

This is Episode 59.

And Hyboria will never shine the same way again.

Conan the Barbarian #37: The Curse of the Golden Skull was published by Marvel Comics in January of 1974.

Cower in terror as the suburban town of Metrodale is blasted to rubble!

A brass-knuckled demagogue named Rolf Zimba and his fanatical Gold Badge Organization demand obedience, and the Daily Planet refuses to bow. Perry lands a jaw-cracking haymaker, Lois gets snatched and hauled aboard an invisible plane, and Superman goes full-cloak-and-dagger—twisting his face into Zimba’s, baiting an all-in meeting, and springing a trap that sends the whole racket to the slammer.

But the drama doesn’t stop there: the real Zimba kidnaps Lois, Superman hunts an invisible aircraft by sound, and the sky-borne climax explodes into a pulpy, cliffhanger-worthy finish.

Prepare for combustible banter, Ed’s righteous fury, Steeven’s delightfully distracted tangents, and a spoiler-filled deep dive that savages plot holes while celebrating the weird, wonderful guts of early Superman.

Turn it up and yank off the knob because this is the type hi-voltage serial-style romp you won’t want to miss.

But first, hold on for dear life as the Super Guys trade incendiary political riffs and veer off on pop-culture detours, all before going full detective on a Superman yarn where ordinary citizens — a mailman, a bank president and even Lois Lane — are turned into dastardly criminals by a mysterious radio signal.

Superman traces the broadcasts to psychologist Harold Morton, flips the hypnotic switch, and forces the villain into the hands of the law in a climax that’s equal parts pulp thriller and Golden-Age bonkers adventure. 

Prepare yourself for laugh-out-loud banter, Ed’s trademark righteous fury, Steeven’s delightfully distracted tangents, and a spoiler-filled deep dive that savages plot holes and celebrates the weird brilliance of early Superman.

Hyperbolic? Absolutely.

Essential listening? Unquestionably.

Plug in for nearly two hours of vintage comics edification served with a healthy side of combustible humor.

Brace yourself!! This extra special bonus episode of The Superman Super Show detonates like a political firecracker!!

Ed and Steeven go a bit unhinged, ripping into the state of American politics with a mix of furious wit, hard truths, and the kind of blunt, profanity-laced riffs that make a podcast feel dangerously alive. From dismantling dishonest rhetoric to riffing on how elected officials dodge accountability, the pair dig deep into the uglier corners of modern governance — with Ed delivering volcanic bursts of righteous fury and Steeven grinning like someone who knows he’s hearing the best line of the night.

Along the way they name-check the Atlantic’s Autocracy in America podcast and its Episode One: Start With a Lie — a timely lens for everything these fellas are shouting about — and even riff on media-bias sites like AllSides.com while trying to make sense of how truth gets bent and bargains get made.

If you’ve ever wanted to hear two friends sort through outrage, hypocrisy, and policy with no safety rails, this is the one. 

Hit play for a bonus episode that’s part rant, part civic critique, and entirely unmissable.

But when a stone statue comes to life, threatening the King’s very existence, will our brawny barbarian prove to be the best fit for his new position?

Hold on to your butts, folks because Steeven's leaping head first into Conan the Barbarian #36: Beware the Hyrkanians Bearing Gifts.

While this episode isn't a part of your balanced breakfast, it does cram together palace intrigue, sweaty training montages, illicit pillow-talk, and full-on monster mayhem into one glorious, blood-slick hour and twenty-eight minutes.

Conan goes from mud-caked barbarian to the King’s questionable new bodyguard. He's learning bows and horses and the deadly art of the axe while stealing a few stolen kisses from the dangerously voluptuous Amytis. 

It's a pretty sweet setup for our boy, Conan. That is until the aforementioned stone statue comes to life and starts killing people and stuff.

Conan the Barbarian #36: Beware the Hyrkanians Bearing Gifts was published by Marvel Comics in December, 1973.

In this episode the Super Fellas blow the dust off World’s Finest Comics #2 and race from rooftop brawls and mid-air stunts to a high-seas showdown where nothing — and nobody — is what they first appear to be. 

Expect crackling play-by-play, gleeful nitpicks about Golden Age logic, and laugh-out-loud moments as Superman goes detective (and Clark goes full-nosy reporter) while Lois delivers one of the finest takedowns of cowardice in comics history. From a propeller-perched interrogation to a yacht reveal that'll make your jaw drop, Steeven and Ed treat every panel like it's a cliffhanger and then crank the suspense to eleven.

If you like your nostalgia with extra punch, conspiracy, and affectionate mockery, this is your jam. Tune in for punches, paranoias, and the satisfying moment when the Unknown X is unmasked — and then stick around for Ed and Steeven's sharp, hyperbolic dissection of how — and why — 1941 comics told their stories with such wild confidence.

Enjoy!

We got all that and more as Steeven dives into Conan the Barbarian #35: The Hell-Spawn of Kara-Shehr.

Expect blow-by-blow mayhem: camel raids in dawn heat, a desperate rescue in the dunes, a sandstorm that dumps our heroes before the ruined throne room, and that spine-cold moment when the skeleton’s hand closes around the jewel. Re-live the panic as an old foe returns, the room fills with living mist, and Conan charges headlong into certain death in hopes to save a friend.

But also expect the unexpected because this is a story that refuses a neat ending. 

So join Steeven as he celebrates Buscema’s masterful storytelling and Glynis’s color work, riffs on Gil Kane covers and Roy Thomas’s liner notes, and leans into how sometimes the barbarian loses — and why that makes the stories hit harder. If you love Conan at his most brutal and bittersweet, tune in for an emotional ride across dunes where treasure isn’t worth the cost, and maybe don’t touch the pretty blue rock.

Additional boisterous banter includes: Why Steeven is watching Supernatural again, recasting the role of Superman, using the Superman movie to stir the political pot, suddenly realizing how White TV Shows like Friends and Seinfeld are, What the fellas are (or are not) watching on the TV, who is Captain America, and who the Hell did the voice of Batman in the 1992 animated series.

So buckle in and all the pre-flight jibber-jabber because this trip into random geekiness is taking off!

Metropolis erupts into violent chaos.

As racketeers run free, armored cars are robbed, and three civil servants fall to bullets and bombs in jaw-dropping succession, only one unlikely hero can brave the streets: mild-mannered Clark Kent, newly appointed Commissioner of Police.

When a dingy alley ambush and a firebomb in City Hall fail to claim his life, Kent sheds his suit and reveals that his desk job comes with super-charged insurance as he transforms into Superman to deliver bone-crushing justice and rescue the mayor from burning ruin.

In a whirlwind of assassination plots, exploding briefcases and gas-filled car ramps, Steeven and Ed unpack every twist—laughing at the absurdity of a single day that sees more explosive action than a summer blockbuster.

Tune in for a pulse-pounding, hyperbolic thrill ride that proves even the darkest conspiracies in Metropolis can’t outmatch the Man of Steel’s indomitable spirit!

Come feel like your part of the action as our strong, sinewy, and certainly strapping Cimmerian faces death, a large bald man, and a lion with the face of a man as he makes ready to stand up against the seven wizards of Wan Tengri.

But even if Conan can take out the seven wizards, is he brave enough to face down the Princess who has been held captive in the Flame Tower these past six months? Also, what's up with Conan's leaky boat?

Find out the answers to these questions and more today with The Temptress in the Tower of Flame as we take a look at Conan the Barbarian #34.

In this bonus livestream extravaganza, Ed and Steeven hop aboard the audio Jetstream for a wild, unfiltered ride through everything from linguistic curveballs to lightsaber smackdowns.

First, witness Steeven’s epic struggle to pronounce the word “Brobdingnagian” which is almost as huge as Superman himself!

But that’s just the tip of the Kryptonite ice­berg. Celebrate Free Comic Book Day, prepare for Star Wars Day with a luscious love letter to Rogue One’s Vader slaughter‑fest, and discover why John Williams and Mrs. Lucas deserve superhero capes of their own.

Plus, a super-quick chat about the never‑to‑be‑missed Apple TV hits: Ted Lasso and Mythic Quest, and why one‑camera dramedies might just outshine a punch‑up in the Fortress of Solitude.

Whether you’re here for the banter, the behind‑the‑scenes scoop, or simply to listen to two podcasters nerd out in glorious stereo, this bonus episode delivers more laughs, lore, and lunacy than a tornado of kryptonite. 

Tap play and join the party, because saving the world one comic at a time never sounded this much fun!

When a celebrated athletic festival in Metropolis suddenly feels more like an anti‑American rally, Lois smells trouble and slips undercover—hook and rope in tow—to expose a supposed ex‑naval officer’s treachery. Meanwhile, Clark Kent overhears a dark deal and transforms into Superman, humiliating Dukalian athletes in breathtaking track‑and‑field showdowns (shot‑put meets Superman strength!), only to discover that the real prize is an experimental submarine… and Lois herself has been taken hostage!

In this rollercoaster of espionage and super‑powered smackdowns, loyalties blur, secret identities collide, and Superman must race against time to rescue Lois, unmask a double agent, and sink a foreign spy ring before it can strike at the heart of America. Tune in for a pulse‑pounding, hyperbolic adventure that proves even the Man of Steel can’t out‑muscle cunning—and that no villain, foreign or domestic, can withstand his wrath!

After attempting to steal into the mystical Flame Tower, the beefy barbarian is captured and forced to face three trials in the area.

Conan’s first trial pits him against a ferocious tiger—its fate sealed by a sword‑turned‑serpent strike that shatters the arena’s torchlit calm. Next, he confronts the dreaded Gauntlet of Seven Deaths: a legion of color‑coded champions whose combined might would fell armies… were it not for our Cimmerian’s unmatched steel and savage wit. With brutal flips, bone‑crushing throws, and a thunderous knee to the throat, Conan wipes the floor with every would‑be executioner, earning the promise of a veiled prize.

But when he tears away her mask, the sultry temptress is revealed as Death incarnate—promising him a third, final battle beyond imagination. Will our barbarian hero stand triumphant… or crumble beneath Oblivion’s icy grip?

They don't necessarily unpack every pulse‑pounding moment—from the mysterious “teaser for the teaser” tease, to that heart‑melting reveal of Krypto the Superdog (and the internet’s unavoidable debate over his breed), right down to the bowl‑cut bravado of Guy Gardner himself.

Bend your ears as Steeven’s inner five‑year‑old erupts in delighted squeals when Krypto bounds across the screen, while Ed teases out the many-layered theatrical build‑up that turned this trailer drop into the comic‑book event of the spring. They square off over whether James Gunn’s vision honors Superman’s golden‑age roots (and why a simple bowl cut could be a stroke of cinematic genius—or pure goofball folly). Plus, there’s live audience banter, birthday plans hinging on opening‑day tickets, and a surprise cameo of nostalgic DC talk that has Steeven confessing his lifelong Superman obsession.

If you thought you’d heard it all about Superman, think again—this is the ultimate teaser‑trailer tease that rockets you into full‑throttle hype mode for the Man of Steel’s next big screen showdown. Strap in, true believers: you won’t want to miss a single hyper‑charged second of this bonus episode!

This is the episode that will have you believing that there is such a thing as too-much-hype for a podcast episode description!

Strap in as our intrepid reporters‑turned‑detectives follow a trail of cosmic charts and secret codes all the way to the front door of Righab Bey’s mysterious astrology parlor—where every horoscope hides a deadly agenda. When Lois braves a midnight solo stake‑out, she tumbles headlong into Bey’s hypnotic web, and only a last‑second Superman swoop can free her from a laundry basket full of dirty tricks!

But the danger doesn’t stop there. Lois, ever the tenacious scooper, slips stolen war‑department blueprints into Clark’s typewriter before Bey’s henchmen can snuff her out—only to return under cover and confront the phony seer face‑to‑face! In a spine‑tingling twist, Lois herself becomes Bey’s unwitting assassin, testing Superman’s invulnerability at point‑blank range. Undeterred, the Man of Tomorrow races to Washington, D.C., crashing a high‑stakes spy raid on the War Department and neutralizing an army of saboteurs with nothing but sheer super‑will and a pulverized blowtorch!

With the fully unmasked spy ring locked away faster than you can say “Hypno‑hijinks,” Ed and Steeven celebrate the holiday in high style—proving that no matter how tangled the conspiracy; truth, justice, and the Christmas spirit will always prevail!

Tune in for Episode 85 and get ready to jingle all the way back to the Golden Age of Superman!

In The Haunting from The Man of Steel #6, Superman returns home—only to be met with chilling visions, ghostly Kryptonians, and an identity crisis that shakes him to his red-booted core! As Clark Kent wrestles with alien revelations, missing spaceships, and unresolved teenage angst, Lana Lang steps back into the picture with a heart full of secrets and a past full of pain.

Is this a triumphant crescendo to Byrne’s bold Post-Crisis revamp… or a pie-fueled epilogue that ends not with a bang but a rhubarb-flavored sigh?

Join your intrepid hosts as they dissect Clark’s cape-grabbing bus depot maneuvers, marvel at Ma and Pa Kent’s aggressively old-school decor, and get weirdly obsessed with decorative glass rocks and questionable wallpaper choices.

It’s an episode packed with identity, legacy, awkward emotional confessions, and maybe just a dash too much exposition. And if that’s not enough? There’s pie. Lots of pie.

Hold on to your butts, folks! It's time for another super-seismic, dimension‑shattering, hyper‑charged, live‑streamed blockbuster extravaganza of an episode as hosts Ed and Steeven provide you with a thorough examination of The Man of Steel #5: The Mirror, Crack’d…

Ride the adrenaline wave as the fearless, fast-talking, fan-favorite fellas peel back the Fortress walls to expose Lex Luthor’s most twisted gambit yet: An alien‑powered doppelgänger of the Last Son of Krypton!

Ed and Steeven will guide you through every white‑hot panel as Superman confronts this bizarre bootleg of himself.

From the stark, bone‑white splash page featuring Byrne’s flawless pencils, to the adrenaline‑fueled alleyway showdown that shatters bus windows and bends Metropolis steel, enter the eye of the storm as our dynamic duo:

Decode Dr. Teng’s mad science. Just how did Luthor’s sensors turn alien cells into a crumbling Bizarro‑clone, programmed with Superman’s very memories but devoid of speech, cunning, or heart?

Witness the Superman's confoundment as the malformed mirror‑man sacrifices himself, unleashing a bit of DNA that holds the chemical key in restoring blind Lucy Lane’s sight in a moment of soul‑searing poignancy.

Dissect Byrne’s storytelling masterclass. Why six stand‑alone “encyclopedia entry” stories redefine Post‑Crisis Superman, and how issue #5 drives home what Steeven perceives as Byrne’s mission to purge the Silver Age silliness once and for all. 

It’s a supernova of comic‑book lore, bursting with razor‑sharp analysis and electrifying debate. Don’t miss this mythic deep dive into Superman’s post‑Crisis crucible because once that mirror cracks, there’s no going back!

High‑seas hijinks: Lois Lane and Clark Kent hit Lex Luthor’s ultra‑luxurious super‑yacht—only to have terrorists crash the party and send Superman plunging into the ocean!

Super‑powered salvation: Witness that iconic moment when Supes swoops in at breakneck speed to shield Lois from an Uzi, and then defies physics by lifting the entire ocean liner straight out of the water!

Heat‑vision haircare: Marvel at the first on‑panel reveal of Superman’s shaving routine—he’s burning off that Kryptonian stubble with nothing but a shard of his crashed rocket and some sizzling heat vision!

The Luthor gambit: Peel back the curtain on Lex’s diabolical mind games as Byrne’s Donald Trump–meets‑Gene Hackman incarnation tests the Man of Steel with a $25,000 retainer offer—only to have his own scheme spectacularly backfire.

A clash for the ages: Feel the electricity ignite when Superman and the mayor team up to throw the most powerful man in Metropolis behind bars… and watch Luthor’s world implode as he swears a vendetta that will shake the DC Universe to its core!

Mike's Amazing World of Comics

This is no mere podcast—it’s a relentless plunge into a multiverse of absurdity and wonder.

Steeven, your titular host, kicks off this cerebral carnival with a deep dive into Marvel’s 1986 New Universe, the “White Event” origin that unleashed paranormals on an unsuspecting world, and the explosive debut of the New Universe's flagship title: Star Brand #1.

Next, in a pulse-pounding fact flash, Steeven reveals how your body’s arteries, veins, and capillaries stretch an astonishing 100,000 miles—enough to circle the globe four times.

Then, steely nerves are tested in Adventures in Customer Service where one desperate listener demands advice on feeding his long-suffering apartment goat.

After that comes 30 Seconds of Nonsense—where vest-wearing fish and childhood taxidermy nightmares collide in a whirlwind of the absurd.

Following that, prepare your mind cave for a full-throttle exploration of Strange Brew from 1983, the cult Canadian comedy that fuses Shakespearean intrigue, mind-control beer, and hockey-playing zombies into one unforgettable brew.

And finally, witness the epic return of the National TV Binge Watching League as Steeven gears up to conquer Iron Fist Season Two in a legendary endurance challenge.

This episode is an all-out assault on your senses! Are you brave enough to take the plunge?

Lois Lane gets tangled in a mystery when an elderly couple seeks her help over some suspiciously sought-after mining stock. Before she knows it, she’s dodging thugs, boarding planes under threat of mid-air shootouts, and getting buried alive in a so-called worthless mine! Meanwhile, Superman does what he does best—stopping bullets mid-air, flinging gangsters like ragdolls, and ripping the wings off airplanes because one just isn’t enough.

But what’s the real secret behind the Guybart Mine? Why is a man with a suspiciously removable scar so interested in keeping everyone away? And will Superman ever fight someone who can actually stand a chance against him?

Join us as we break down the action, point out the absurdity, and try (and fail) to tell all these cowboy-hat-wearing villains apart. It’s a rip-roaring, fist-flying, gold-grabbing good time!

Host Steeven R. Orr dives headfirst into the seismic shifts of the 90s, 2000s, and 2010s—a time when cable TV, streaming platforms, and regulatory changes conspired to dim the golden glow of Saturday morning magic. From the groundbreaking creator-driven shows of the 90s (Batman: The Animated Series, Animaniacs, X-Men) to the anime invasion led by Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon, we explore how these innovations redefined children’s programming.

But the story doesn't stop there. As the 2000s rolled in, DVRs, on-demand content, and the rise of streaming giants transformed how we consumed media. With shows like Teen Titans, Justice League, and The Spectacular Spider-Man, we witnessed the rise of narratives with depth, heart, and sophistication. And by the 2010s, Saturday morning blocks were replaced with live-action educational content, marking the official end of a beloved tradition.

This episode is more than a trip down memory lane—it's a celebration of the legacy these cartoons left behind and their lasting impact on the way we tell stories today. So, grab your cereal, buckle up, and join us for a nostalgic goodbye to the ritual that defined generations.

Growing Up Geek: Where nostalgia fuels the conversation, and the spirit of Saturday mornings lives on forever.

After escaping the war-torn city of Makkalet, Conan rides into the windswept Hyrkanian plains, only to stumble upon a brutal assault. The barbarian’s intervention sparks a chain of chaos that leads him to the fortress of Bab-El-Shaithan, a den of outlaws ruled by the cunning Skol Abdhur. Inside, Conan must navigate deadly rivalries, survive a giant’s wrath, and contend with a mysterious ruby—the Blood of Bel-Hissar—that promises power but leaves death in its wake.

When treachery strikes in the dead of night, Conan is accused of murder and theft, forcing him to battle an entire fortress of outlaws while uncovering dark secrets that could spell doom for them all. Will the Cimmerian survive the clashing blades, or will the ruby’s curse claim him as its next victim?

Steeven brings his signature wit, deep dives, and hilarious commentary to this thrilling issue. Join us as we unravel the tangled web of conspiracies, marvel at the intricate art of John Buscema, and try to make sense of the blood-soaked power of the ruby that everyone’s dying to own—literally.

Tune in now for a tale of bloody vengeance and barbaric badassery that will leave you breathless!

As Turanian forces storm the city, Conan finds himself entangled in a labyrinth of betrayal and bloodshed. With the Living Tarim revealed to be a grotesque mockery of divinity, and enemies pressing on all sides, the Cimmerian fights his way through secret tunnels, fiery confrontations, and even a saber-toothed mole (yes, really). Will Conan escape the ruins of Makkalet, or will the weight of an entire war drag him into oblivion?

Steeven brings his signature blend of humor, lore, and passionate critique to this epic issue, exploring everything from John Buscema’s evolving art style to the absurdity of Trojan-horse-esque plots and mystical mirrors. It’s a conclusion packed with action, intrigue, and one of the most jaw-dropping reveals in Conan’s adventures so far.

Entranced by her taunts, Conan plunges headlong into her deadly trap—only to face her towering Frost Giant brothers in a brutal showdown that pits sword against sorcery. Rich in visual splendor, this version of the story elevates the towering menace of the Frost Giants like never before, yet its controversial themes spark a conversation every Conan fan should hear.

Steeven pulls no punches, tackling the tale’s unsettling implications, while heaping praise on the breathtaking artistry. Revel in discussions of Conan’s relentless ferocity, the dreamlike hues of Dave Stewart’s colors, and how this adaptation compares to earlier renditions, from Marvel’s Savage Tales to Ablaze’s The Cimmerian.

A thought-provoking episode blending reverence, critique, and the fierce honesty fans of Conan—and Hither Came Conan—have come to expect. Grab your furs and steel; this is a journey into a wintry Hyborian nightmare you won’t forget. Tune in, stay savage, and wield your opinions like a Cimmerian blade!

Sixteen-year-old Conan storms into action in the snowy wilds of the North, saving a woman and child from a brutal Vanir raiding party with his signature blend of savage might and steel-forged resolve. What follows is a cascade of high-stakes drama: the ferocity of battle, a tenuous alliance with the fierce Aesir warriors, and the seductive promise of far-off Hyperborea, a land that holds secrets both wondrous and sinister. The raw, elemental nature of Conan’s character shines through as he carves his path across the bloodstained snows.

Steeven’s passion and wit bring the pages to life, from the vivid splash pages that channel the spirit of Frank Frazetta to the tantalizing subtext hinting at Conan’s inevitable collision with fate. Alongside his thoughtful critiques and humorous tangents (what’s up with that ridiculous horned helmet?), Steeven explores how this iteration of Conan embodies heroism, resilience, and unapologetic savagery.

Join us for a tale of fire and frost that boldly reimagines Conan’s origin as he sets out into the wide, perilous world. Whether you're a Dark Horse newcomer or a Hyborian die-hard, this episode will leave you sharpening your sword and pining for more tales of the mighty Cimmerian! Tune in now—Crom demands it!

Steeven brings his trademark humor, deep dives, and unfiltered opinions to this polarizing story, including the controversy surrounding Conan’s moral compass and the Comics Code’s meticulous censorship notes (yes, the word “boobies” makes an appearance). Plus, a glimpse at Barry Windsor-Smith’s stunning art and why this tale has divided fans for decades.

Prepare for an avalanche of laughs, deep insights, and biting critique as we dissect Conan’s most infamous snow day. Tune in—before the Frost Giants come for you!

Oh, before I get a bunch of emails, I know that it's called The Twilight Zone. I'm not sure why I called it Twilight Show in the episode.

Enjoy!

Conan and Elric join forces against the ruthless wizard Kulan-Gath as he attempts to summon the deadly Green Empress of Melniboné, Terhali, to seize ultimate power. As demons pour from the Sighing Lake and monsters crawl from the shadows, Conan’s broadsword and Elric’s soul-stealing blade, Stormbringer, clash with chaotic forces. But when Terhali rises from the dead, her unearthly power threatens to obliterate them all. The fate of the realms may rest on the shoulders of Zephra, who must make the ultimate sacrifice to halt Terhali's reign of terror.

Steeven brings his trademark humor and razor-sharp insights to this densely packed, gloriously chaotic issue. Does Conan stand tall, or is the barbarian little more than a pawn in this fantastical chess game? What dark truths lie at the heart of Elric’s sorcery? And most importantly, how does Kulan-Gath meet his appropriately gruesome demise?

With biting commentary, laugh-out-loud anecdotes, and a celebration of Windsor-Smith’s breathtaking art, this is an episode no fan of Hyborian or Melnibonéan lore should miss. Tune in for Conan, stay for the chaos, and journey home in style on a mammoth ribcage boat!

Steeven wields his commentary battle axe and ventures into the gripping saga of Conan the Barbarian #3 (2023), written by Grim Jim Zub and brought to life with Rob De La Torre’s dynamic and evocative artwork.

As Conan and the fierce Pictish scout, Brissa, infiltrate an eerie black stone fortress, they face undead horrors, enigmatic reptilian foes, and chilling sacrificial rituals that invoke the sinister name of Thulsa Doom.

Feel the clang of steel and the seething rage of Conan as righteous vengeance transforms into savage fury. This isn't just a journey; it’s a visceral foray into barbaric peril, featuring moments of shocking revelations, explosive battles, and haunting omens. Will Conan's blade carve a path to victory—or will the ancient evils lurking beneath the monolith claim his indomitable soul?

Packed with Steeven’s signature wit, in-depth observations, and an uncontainable passion for all things Hyborian, this episode dives deep into the pulse-pounding narrative, stunning visuals, and nostalgic ties to Robert E. Howard’s original tales.

If you're a fan of daring escapades, decapitated serpent men, and high-stakes Cimmerian courage, this episode is a must-listen.

Crom himself might tune in!!!

Rate, review, and spread the word: This is an episode Conan fans won’t want to miss!

In this wild team-up plotted by Michael Moorcock and James Cawthorn, Conan battles sinister hooded riders, a flock of not-so-giant eagles, and the undead forces of chaos as he journeys toward the cursed city of Yagala.

Steeven pulls no punches in this episode, breaking down Conan’s confrontation with the pale-skinned sorcerer and his soul-devouring sword, Stormbringer. But will these two legendary anti-heroes clash to the death, or unite against the sinister forces of Kulan Gath, Xiombarg the Queen of the Chaos Swords, and the slumbering Green Empress of Melniboné?

This issue delivers enough magic, mayhem, and monstrous mayhem to drown the Sighing Lake itself!

Plus: Steeven shares fascinating tidbits about Elric’s origins, his pointy hat (a hilarious misstep for Moorcock fans), and Kulan Gath’s bizarre journey from Conan comics to Spider-Man team-ups and X-Men crossovers. With Barry Windsor-Smith’s stunning art and Roy Thomas at the helm, this issue promises cosmic stakes, mystical duels, and more enchanted swords than Crom’s armory.

Tune in to hear Steeven wrestle with the complexities of this sprawling story, revel in its sword-and-sorcery splendor, and maybe, just maybe, find out if Conan really likes Monty Python.

Crom commands you listen!!!

That's today as we look at Conan the Barbarian #14: A Sword Called Stormbringer by Roy Thomas, Michael Moorcock, James Cawthorn, Barry Windsor Smith, Sal Buscema, and John Costanza.

However, life had other plans.

Due to technical issues and life issues, the two Super Hosts decided, after trying to get through a discussion about the issue, to just give up and talk about other stuff.

Topics include: 80's Hulk comics, 80s/90s X-Men, John Byrne, Super Hero Movies, future movie casting (Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner), Jack Ryan, Harrison Ford, and much, much more!

And so, for the first time (except for the Live YouTube Episode that's out there on the YouTube Channel), The Superman Super Show Lost Episode!

Be warned, because the fellas did discuss Action Comics #32 on Episode 60, you may get a feeling of déjà vu as you're listening to this episode.

Also, the part of the episode when Steeven loses power and it's just Ed, that section is heavily edited for time.

Conan faces brutal marauders, a city worshiping a monstrous spider god, and a web of deceit and danger that threatens to ensnare him forever. From fever dreams in the desert to a ferocious battle against a gargantuan arachnid, this issue has everything a barbarian-lover could want—and more.

Listen as Steeven unravels the story of Conan’s clash with the high priest Modar, the bloody fight against the monstrous spider Omm the Unspeakable, and the city of Yezud collapsing in fiery chaos thanks to the cunning engineer Tork.

Along the way, Steeven shares fun tidbits about John Jakes’ role in plotting this tale and debates the merits of Conan’s disdain for camels (hairy humped nags, indeed!). With Barry Windsor-Smith’s dynamic art and Sal Buscema’s crisp inks, every page of this comic crackles with Hyborian energy.

Whether you’re here for giant spider fights, epic city-destroying schemes, or just to hear Conan quip his way through another death-defying escapade, this episode promises thrills, laughs, and the kind of high-stakes action only the Hyborian Age can deliver.

Crom demands you listen!!!

Conan the Barbarian #13: "Web of the Spider-God!" was written by Roy Thomas with pencils by Barry Windsor Smith, inks by Sal Buscema, and the letters were by Sam Rosen.

Steeven breaks down this Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith masterpiece, marveling at the exquisite (and gory) art, laughing at 70s fashion choices (stringy shirts, anyone?), and questioning the logistics of Conan's zig-zagging Hyborian travels. Along the way, we explore the fan controversy over Fatima’s fate and Barry Windsor-Smith's evolving art style, comparing this issue’s visual brilliance to his future iconic works.

Plus, a bonus look at "The Blood of the Dragon," a chilling short story about knights, curses, and monsters with Gil Kane’s vibrant (if questionable) costumes and art that blends fantasy and superhero vibes.

Tune in for a sword-and-sorcery escapade packed with passion, humor, and bloody barbaric fun—because no one throws queens down pits like Conan!

Imprisoned after a treacherous betrayal, Conan strikes a bargain with a desperate noble: freedom in exchange for the death of Nabonidus, the cunning and sinister Red Priest. But nothing is as it seems within the labyrinthine halls of Nabonidus’s lair, where death lurks behind every shadow and a brutish ape-man named Thak has seized the throne for his own violent reign.

Steeven takes you through every harrowing moment: the betrayal of allies, the bloody brawls in the maze-like sewers, and the unforgettable battle between Conan and Thak that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Will Conan outwit the traps of the Red Priest and bring justice to the city, or will the machinations of Nabonidus prove too much for even the Cimmerian?

Featuring epic artwork by Barry Windsor-Smith and masterful storytelling from Roy Thomas, this adaptation of Robert E. Howard’s classic tale is a must-listen for any sword-and-sorcery fan. Tune in for one of Conan’s most thrilling and iconic adventures yet!

Armed with nothing but a knife, a rope, and a flint, Conan faces his most nightmarish challenge yet—a high-stakes rescue mission that will test his cunning, strength, and willingness to set the natural world on fire. Can the Cimmerian outwit the winged man, conquer the deadly flora, and save Jenna from a gruesome fate?

With stormy skies and raging mammoths setting the scene, this episode unearths the origins of the tale, its ties to Robert E. Howard’s darker narratives, and the vivid artistry of Barry Windsor-Smith. From heart-stopping battles to fiery ingenuity, this is Conan at his most daring—and you won’t want to miss a single savage detail!

Steeven also tackles the complex and uncomfortable topic of Robert E. Howard's racism, exploring how it influences the Conan stories and discussing the broader implications. 

Enjoy!

Find out in today's episode as Ed and Steeven talk about In the Grip of Morpheus the Superman story that appeared in Action Comics #31, published by DC Comics in October, 1940.

Banter includes super heroes who have their super powers taken away, which leads into the announcement that was released at the time of this recording regarding 'Avengers Inc.' by Al Ewing and Leonard Kirk, which lands in September. This leads into a discussion on changing a character in their own book vs alternate versions in another universe.

Oh, and there's a bunch of Conan talk at the end. Which, to be honest, is all Ed's fault. He should know by now that Steeven likes talking about Conan way too much.

Conan’s journey through the Hyborian Age takes a detour into Nemedian intrigue when he rescues a damsel, tangles with the law, and gets roped into a high-stakes heist at the infamous House of Relics. But this isn’t your average smash-and-grab. A cursed golden bowl, a treacherous femme fatale, and a slithering, man-serpent horror await our Cimmerian as the body count rises and ancient evils are unleashed.

Steeven dives deep into the differences between this issue, Robert E. Howard’s original story The God in the Bowl, and later adaptations. He serves up a feast of lore, humor, and analysis, including Conan’s knack for upsetting city guards, smashing through mysteries, and proving (once again) that greed and betrayal are a barbarian’s best motivation.

Prepare for action, horror, and a giant snake-monster you’ll never forget. It’s Conan at his most dangerous, and Hither Came Conan at its most entertaining. Tune in now, or face the wrath of Thoth-Amon!

Enjoy!

This time, Conan faces a city full of scoundrels, a cult of red-robed fanatics, and a not-so-divine giant bat known as the Night-God. When an alluring blonde, Jenna, catches Conan’s eye, he finds himself cracking skulls, melting stolen gold into a suspiciously metaphorical heart, and awkwardly learning the finer points of romance—until cultists crash the date. What follows is a whirlwind of infiltrations, fiery brazier-swinging action, and a midair battle against a bat-beast that would terrify even Gotham’s Dark Knight!

Can Conan save Jenna from the clutches of the monstrous Night-God? Will he ever escape the indignities of a yak-horned helmet? And what’s a barbarian to do when his gold—and his girl—vanish into the night?

Steeven dives deep into this wild ride, offering insights, humor, and just the right amount of snark about cult logistics and the mysteries of giant bats. It’s a fiery tale of love, betrayal, and the enduring badassery of everyone’s favorite Cimmerian.

Tune in, because this episode is a heart of gold (and may or may not be easier to carry)!

This issue was published by Marvel Comics in March, 1971.

Plus... Bloopers!

In this issue, Conan tangles with Zukala, a flamboyant masked wizard with questionable fashion sense, and his daughter Zephyra, who doubles as a deadly tiger! With a demon tax collector prowling the land and a gaudy dragon-hilted sword on the line, Conan must navigate betrayals, sorcery, and a prophecy of doom that could spell disaster for our favorite barbarian.

Marvel as Conan shatters masks, slays demons, and casually loots gold like the unapologetic force of nature he is. Steeven takes you on a raucous page-by-page journey, blending lore, laughs, and irreverent critiques of art that sees demons and tigers defy all color consistency. Plus, hear Steeven’s musings on Marvel’s early attempts to mix superheroes with Hyborian fantasy—and the eternal mystery of Conan’s "costume."

This isn’t just an episode; it’s an odyssey into the heart of Hyborian chaos! So grab your cloak, dodge the tiger, and join us for a roaring good time. And remember—never underestimate Conan’s brains, brawn, or ability to walk off with the spoils.

Conan’s chains become weapons of vengeance as he joins a brutal war between Hyperborea and Brythunia—two kingdoms entwined in a deadly dance of betrayal and conquest. Enslaved, furious, and armed with his barbarian grit, the young Cimmerian sets out to carve revenge into the ranks of his oppressors. Standing in his way are scheming commanders, enchanted armor, and the ominous presence of the Grim Gray God, Borri, whose fate hangs in the balance as even gods can die.

Fueled by Roy Thomas’ masterful adaptation of Robert E. Howard's mythic tale The Gray God Passes and Barry Windsor-Smith’s art that burns brighter with every panel, this issue roars with all the raw, savage power you’d expect from Conan at his bloodiest. With insights, humor, and a touch of philosophical musing about the mortality of gods, Steeven delivers an unmissable breakdown of one of Conan’s most haunting adventures.

Come for the barbarism; stay for the mythic spectacle!

Mike's Amazing World of Comics

In this milestone episode of Hither Came Conan, Steeven dives into Conan the Barbarian #1, the iconic Marvel Comics issue from 1970 that launched the Cimmerian into comic book stardom. With Roy Thomas's gripping script and Barry Windsor-Smith's early art style (a fascinating mix of promise and raw potential), this first issue brings Conan to life as a young warrior caught in the midst of a battle between the Aesir and Vanir—and an encounter with otherworldly forces that will shape his destiny.

Witness the birth of Conan’s comic legacy as he battles winged demons, resists a scheming shaman, and glimpses a mysterious vision of his future—crown and all. Steeven dissects the issue’s breathtaking storytelling, Kirby-esque art, and world-building grandeur, connecting it to the rich mythology of Robert E. Howard’s Hyborian Age.

This is more than a review—it’s a celebration of where it all began for Marvel's Conan. Join us for sword-swinging action, fiery commentary, and an unforgettable first step into the untamed world of the Hyborian Age!

Conan the Barbarian #1: "The Coming of Conan!" was written by Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor Smith, Dan Adkins, and Sam Rosen.

This issue was published by Marvel Comics in July of 1970.

The Man of Steel meets the Man of Madness as two of comics' most unique and revolutionary heroes cross-over (and how!). In each of their respective universes, Superman and Madman are involved in scientific experiments, the results of which propel the unsuspecting superbeings into one another's world. The only thing is, each takes half of the other with him -- creating two confused heroes and one big Hullabaloo! It's wackier than red kryptonite and more bizarre than Bizarro when two worlds get an even stranger visitor from another planet -- Supermadman! And it doesn't stop there, because unexplainable things begin happening all around them. So the unexplainable has to be explained and the impossible made possible.

In his nightmares, Nexus has seen visions that would wake the dead. And in his role as interplanetary executioner, he's faced down the galaxy's most vicious mass murderers and sentenced them to the most horrible of punishments. But when a renegade robot overcomes Nexus with sickly sweet sensations of cotton candy, pink flowers, and circus music, he must look for help -- and he finds it in the form of Madman!

As Clark Kent investigates, the stakes skyrocket—literally—with an air raid on the Daily Planet and a trail of sabotage leading straight to Luthor. Superman punches through every obstacle, from elevator shafts to electrified traps, dismantling Luthor’s labyrinthine lair piece by piece. But this isn’t just about brute strength; Luthor’s cunning forces Superman to dig deeper, disguise himself, and think faster than ever.

With drugged executives, daring rescues, and even a few moments of Golden Age weirdness (Superman’s indestructible, self-invented costume, anyone?), this story delivers on every front. Tune in for Ed and Steeven’s breakdown of the action, the laughs, and the sheer chaos of one of Superman’s most frenetic early adventures!

Superman #5 was published by DC Comics in May, 1940.

Here are the original show notes for the episode:

Here we go again . . . it's episode 34!

This week the happy couple discuss a bevy of random topics including the stress of DSL, books Steeven picked up from the local library, and the triumphant return of Menudo.

Plus Steeven's comic book picks of the week: Avengers Initiative #1 and Justice League of America #7.

So pop open a cold one, cinch your belt, put the muskrat out on the porch and take a listen to this little experiment in inexperienced audio mismanagement.

Let's find out as I read Superman: Up in the Sky by Tom King and Andy Kubert.

"How far across the galaxy will Superman go to bring a single child home? Aliens have kidnapped a young girl from Metropolis. With each stop along the path, the Man of Steel faces new mysteries and new challenges. Is he getting closer to rescuing the girl, or further away? And who is protecting Metropolis in his absence?"

This collects Superman: Up in the Sky #1-6 and was published by DC Comics on Wednesday, April 15th, 2020.

When Evell’s smear campaign and hired goons threaten the Planet’s circulation and even Lois Lane’s safety, Superman steps in to set things right. From smashing delivery truck blockades to rescuing Lois from a fiery trap, the Man of Steel pulls out all the stops to expose Evell’s underhanded schemes. But when Superman tries his signature move—forcing a confession—Evell refuses to crack, leaving it to his betrayed henchmen to seal his fate.

This story is packed with Golden Age flair, from rooftop leaps with delivery trucks to the hilariously dramatic antics of Metropolis’s most questionable criminals. Join Ed and Steeven as they break down the action, celebrate Superman’s one-liners, and marvel at how this classic tale still packs a punch!
