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!

You can subscribe to the show in two ways. First there is the RSS Feed and there is also the iTunes link. You can also download the episode directly.

If you want to comment on the show or contact the hosts you can always private message Mike and Jeff, leave comments here or email them at fromcrisistocrisis@gmail.com. All questions, concerns, fears, trepidations and cheap shots are welcome.

June 24, 2011: Be a Super Hero and Support Red Nose Day

While this isn't Superman related, it is important to me, and I wanted to post it here for all to see. The following news report aired on Australian TV last night.



June 24 is "Red Nose Day", the major fundraising day for SIDS and Kids, who were of great help to my wife and I during our time of need. Be a real superhero and make a donation to help a wonderful organisation who really helped me through the death of my two baby girls.

June 24, 2011: Can DC Comics Relaunch On Schedule This September?

The DC Universe relaunch this September will start 52 brand new titles with #1 issues. The company hopes to engage new readers with this massive event, but they may have bitten off more than they can chew.

According to an insider, DC should have started working on this relaunch at least two months earlier than they actually did. Scripts are still being written and pages still being drawn. Normally for an event of this scope, more should be completed ahead of time. So even if DC manages to defeat the odds and release all 52 #1 issues in September, readers can most likely expect delays as early as October.

So what does this mean for DC and the relaunch? Only time will tell.
