June 23, 2011: From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast

Welcome to the 99th 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.

Mike and Jeff finish off the Superman books with the May 1992 cover date this week in an episode that ran a little long. There's a good explanation too; these guys just can't shut up, especially about trading cards and cereal. Around all of that they talk about ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #490, ACTION COMICS #677 and JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA #62. There is also some discussion about what else happened in the DCU when these books were on the stands and they even read some e-mails.

NEXT WEEK: THE 100TH EPISODE! WHAT SURPRISES AWAIT? LISTEN AND FIND OUT!
