    Inside the BYRNE Superman Era with Editor MIKE CARLIN

    Host Anthony Desiato begins digging into John Byrne's 1986-1988 tenure on the Superman titles — which redefined the character for the Post-Crisis era — by interviewing one of the people who was there: longtime DC Comics editor and returning podcast guest MIKE CARLIN. But FIRST! In the prologue, Anthony welcomes back Sweet-Sweet Bernie Gerstmayr (Aw Yeah Comics - Skokie) to discuss the road to Byrne's seminal MAN OF STEEL miniseries. PLUS: Anthony presents a pair of epilogue segments with veteran Pre-Crisis Superman fans — Rich Roney and Martin Gray (Too Dangerous... Review Blog) — who each received the reboot differently in 1986. This is the first installment of a multi-episode event revisiting the entire Byrne era on Superman.

    The Complete Superman Works of CHUCK AUSTEN (Yes, THAT Chuck Austen)

    Host Anthony Desiato and guest Mike Sangregorio dig into the Superman bibliography of notorious writer Chuck Austen, including his 2004-2005 run on ACTION COMICS with Ivan Reis — which resurrected the decades-old romantic rivalry between Lois Lane & Lana Lang, introduced a new Gog, and infused Clark with a Spidey-esque sensibility. Anthony and Mike also unpack a pair of fill-in issues (on SUPERMAN and SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL), the 12-issue maxiseries SUPERMAN: METROPOLIS starring Jimmy Olsen, and the JLA arc "Pain of the Gods." Are all the fans and critics right about Austen, or is there any redemption to be had? Oh, and have Anthony and Mike solved the mystery of writer J.D. Finn...?
