Going monthly now for the foreseeable future, Road to Rebirth has emerged from the darkness of Forever Evil to see a new status quo for the Justice League, or shall we call them the INjustice League?!

Superman falls to the Eradicator but Lois takes charge of the fight, and then he goes to the center of the Earth as Supergirl takes her turn at Rebirth. Come give a listen! This episode reviews Superman 5, Supergirl: Rebirth , and Justice League 3.
It’s a double-Rebirth episode as I talk about both the Superman books from last week and this week. The feature issues are Superman 4 and Action Comics 961, but Superwoman 1 cannot be left unmentioned, as it was definitely a standout. And I round out the episode with brief looks at New Super-Man 2, Justice League 2, and Red Hood & the Outlaws 1.
Nearly a week late due to illness and other things, but here are my Rebirth thoughts on Action Comics 960. Only one Superbook this week: Red Hood & the Outlaws: Rebirth did hit but sadly no Bizarro. Still a great read, though, so check it out! But only after you download and listen!!
This is it, folks! This is the wrapup of one of the greatest stories in the New 52 history! And Al and Jon are here to give you all of their thoughts on it. First, though, they cover some of the tie-ins of the series, specifically those that involve Supers, namely Justice League Volume 5: Forever Heroes , Justice League of America Volume 2: Survivors of Evil , and Suicide Squad Volume 5: Walled In . After varying levels of coverage with those side stories, it’s time for the finale with Forever E...

Happy new comics day everyone! Today I’m talking about the second issue of the phenomenal new Superman series from Tomasi and Gleason! And it is fantastic! Then, because we live in an amazing world, I’m hopping over to the one-shot Justice League: Rebirth to talk about the old team and the new Superman’s place in it. Come give a listen!
I’m joined once again by my friend Al Sedano as we take our second steps down the road that led us to Rebirth. This episode features the second portion of our coverage of the DCU event Forever Evil . We focus on the meat of the story: issues 2-6, having covered the first issue last time and reserving the finale for next episode. I hope you enjoy the listen, and don’t forget to send your email to new52superman at gmail dot com, and leave an iTunes review!
It’s the fifth Wednesday for the month, and DC Comics has not scheduled many books to come out today, including zero Superman books. But I won’t let that stop me from podcasting! So today is all about your emails! Thank you very much for writing in, and future feedback can be sent to new52superman at gmail dot com
TWO SUPERMAN BOOKS!!! TWO of them are out this week! It’s great! And I get to geek out about them for your shell-like ears. So, of course, I’m talking about Action Comics 958 and Justice League 52 tonight, and I hope you enjoy!
Hey, everyone likes solicitations, right? Those previews of comics that are coming three months from now? Well, I do too! And I think I want to have monthly discussions about them when they hit. So here’s an initial go. Let me know what you think! Solicitations for September 2016, with text and cover previews, can be found here , August here , and July here ....
Today launches a biweekly series that I am calling Road to Rebirth. Here, I’ll be helped by Al Sedano in going through the various storylines that helped to lead directly into the events immediately preceding Rebirth. Truth, Darkseid War, and Final Days are part of that, but we have a few precursors to work through first. So in this episode, we begin our coverage of Forever Evil. This is the first of three parts, and here we look at the first issue of the series as well as some of the Superman-c...
Here it is, folks! The first new issue of a new Superman series, and the Tomasi/Gleason team definitely delivers, without even a single super-villain showing up in all twenty pages. But come listen to hear my thoughts on the details and continuity implications galore!
The third week of Rebirth involves the relaunch of the comic that started it all with Action Comics 957, now with 100% more original numbering! So I discuss my thoughts on the events here and their implications, and I hope you enjoy it!
Still rebirthing over here at The New 52 Adventures of Superman. Last week, it was the whole DC Universe. This week, it’s just Superman. I share my brief thoughts on the new issue of the week, which are largely but not entirely positive. Come give a listen!
Well, DC Universe: Rebirth is here! And The New 52 Adventures of Superman is here to talk about it! This is also the first episode of the show in a long time, so there is a spoiler-free segment at the onset to talk about what the show is doing and where it’s going, cuz believe me, stuff is happening. Then, after a clearly announced boundary, I dive into those elements of DC Universe: Rebirth that struck me as worth mentioning. I also ramble a bit about my thoughts on New 52 Superman as a whole n...
This week, I’m still with Superboy as we follow him over to his super teen friends for Teen Titans Volume 4: Light and Dark , where Trigon makes his move and Raven joins the team. It’s an apocalyptic slug fest that manages to illumine and frustrate at the same time. What do I mean by that? I guess you’ll just have to listen to find out. Teen Titans Volume 4: Light and Dark collects Teen Titans 18-23.
This time out, I take a break from my story coverage to interview the writer of last week’s Superboy arc, Justin Jordan. We discuss Superboy, his antagonists in the story, where the story might have gone, and the forces that kept it from going there. I thank Justin Jordan for his openness about his time on the book, and I hope you enjoy the interview!
This time out, I’m joined by a friend to take a look at the final volume to feature the solo adventures of Kon-El, the clone of steel! Justin Clarke is my guest as we take a look at the antics of Superboy and a pair of Psychos, not to mention a certain Last Dog of Krypton! Superboy Volume 4: Blood and Steel contains Superboy 20-25, Superman 25, and Teen Titans Annual 2.
In this latest episode of The New 52 Adventures of Superman, I take a look at our visitor from Earth 2, Kara Zor-El aka Karen Starr aka Super Girl aka Power Girl, as she and her partner the Huntress confront Desaad over the way he’s destroyed her life recently, only to take a major knock to her ability to control her powers. Worlds’ Finest Volume 3: Control Issues contains Worlds’ Finest 13-18.
This time out, we travel back five years to see the first meeting between Superman and Batman, and between our main Earth and Earth 2! Multiversal shenanigans abound, and I even hatch a crackpot theory about the still untold Death of Superman. Batman/Superman Volume 1: Cross World includes Batman/Superman 1-4 and Justice League 23.1: Darksied.
So this is big episode 52, and to celebrate this momentous occasion, I am taking a break from my usual coverage to take a look back at the New 52 as a phenomenon. You may think I hardly need a break cuz I’ve been so long without episodes, but this is the second of two episodes that I actually recorded a year ago, so there. My guests on this episode are Paul French of the Legion of Substitute Podcasters podcast, Caleb Gerard of the Tales from the Longbox podcast, and Micheal Leyland of the Hey Ki...
It’s been a year, but here is a new episode about New 52 Superman that, well, doesn’t have a lot of Superman. I started this back in the day and wanted to finish it before putting out new episodes. So here’s your chance to learn all about Earth 2 and its history both in the New 52 and in DC continuity as a whole! And yes, there’s some Superman at the end, so don’t worry.
This time out, I am joined by my good friend and fellow podcaster extraordinaire, Mr. Michael Bailey. You may know him from … the Internet. Together, Michael and I dive into and explore the entirety of the Trinity War storyline as collected recently in hardcover. No emails this time out, and no solicits. Both will be back next episode.
In the latest episode, I take a look at the three Justice League issues that led into Trinity War, as they were published in Justice League Volume 4: The Grid . Then it’s off to the August 2014 solicitations to see what DC has in store for us down the road!
Covering the material from Supergirl Volume 3: Sanctuary that hasn’t been covered on previous episodes, plus discussion of the solicited comics for July 2014!
