Superman in Crisis – Jon Reads Comics

About a year ago I decided to expand my podcast listening. I selected a few (mostly discontinued ones) that appealed to me, and I was surprised to find that Jon Wilson was either the host or a frequent guest on all of them. This turned out to be a good thing as Jon embodies all the traits I look for in a podcast. He takes subject matter that I have an interest in and presents them in an intelligent way with just the right amount of humor sprinkled in. If you have an interest in Superman, or an interest in mid-80’s comics, or you just want to hear a well structured podcast then this is for you!

I was a huge fan of Jon’s Golden Age Superman podcast and I’m glad he’s taking a look at another era in Superman’s history. The Superman books before crisis don’t get any attention but there is a lot to love here. I’ve noticed in my 40 years of comic reading that right before a reboot DC goes a little off the rails and allows story elements they wouldn’t attempt otherwise (see the last year and a half of the New 52 Superman for an example). So this should be fun.

Jon has been planning this podcast for well over a year, and the finished product reflects all of the passion and commitment he has put into it. He is a huge Superman fan that knows the character and you can’t say he hasn’t done his research. All will be made clear if you just start listening, already! He puts together a very entertaining podcast with great insight of the material covered. He shares his opinion of the stories, art, and has great information about the continuity of Superman in comic books during Crisis on Infinite Earths. He also injects some great humor and personality into this super podcast, and I like that he is interactive with his listeners and includes feedback from them. Matthew T. Cody @RadioSuperman
