- TV & Film
"It was Krypton that made me Superman, but it's the Earth that makes me human."Alan and Rob take a look back on John Byrne's seminal 1986 MAN OF STEEL miniseries, the book that changed Superman forever. How does its fast-paced storytelling hold up? How did Byrne's decisions have ramifications for the ensuing decades of Superman (and DC) storytelling? Was there and overemphasis on Clark's Earth upbringing or did it provide a necessary grounding for the character? All these questions and more are answered PLUS we read some very divisive fan letters and tweets on the subject!
