Then, Michael Bailey of From Crisis to Crisis, a Superman Podcast, joins me to discuss the hot button topic of Superman renouncing his U.S. citizenship. From a simple back-up story in Action Comis #900, the controversy has spread as far as FOX news, and beyond.

Michael and I attempt to put some perspective on “The Incident” and who Superman is in relation to the United States.

This week, the Superman tales written by British comic book legend Alan Moore.

Also, news from the SFR Daily Planet- Tom Welling on Jimmy Kimmel, Bryan Singer on why Superman Returns failed, Bizarro to the rescue, and more.

Superman Forever Radio 24- June/Early July 2007

DOWNLOAD/ RSS / ITUNES / STITCHER RADIO

It’s the Thursday review episode, and we have progressed one month to June of 2007, but…
June, 2007 had a huge amount of Superman books… exactly one. Superman Confidential #5 was the only Superman book published with that cover date.
No Joke. One in-continuity Superman comic.
But, “Krypton” ratchets to a breathless climax, and it all comes together, all at once.
So, it’s time to look at Tim Sale, and his work on Superman, Heroes, and more.
Then, we look at what was happening elsewhere in the DC Universe, before moving on to Early July 2007, where Superman confronts a “Crisis of Faith” and, will the real redemption please stand up, please stand up??
It all leads to next week’s look at Action Comics #850, Superman #663, and Superman/Batman #35.
And don’t forget to come back Sunday, when it’s time to take a look at the seminal Superman stories of Alan Moore– “For the Man Who Has Everything” and “Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow“, and the animated debut of Metallo in Superman: The Animated Series.
