Free Gifts from Listeners!!! A big old Hug Fest!!!! A SPECIAL GUEST!!!! All this and more as Micheal and Andrew tackle the end of Civil War with issues 5-7 and the epilogue In Captain America 25. Then, Michael Bailey drops by to tell us if the Graphic Audio Adaptation of the Civil War is any good. So much quality, in so little time.

Rather randomly, the First Family Of Podcasting discuss Iron Man 3 for the first 11:44 of the show so skip that if you haven’t seen the film. Then Micheal and Andrew roll up their sleeves and delve into the Reader Request mailbag by looking at issues 1-4 of Marvel’s big crossover of yesteryear CIVIL WAR! They look at how this all affected the Amazing Spider-Man and other denizens of the Marvel Universe and ponder the ramifications of the Super Hero Registration Act. Good, Bad or Meh? You only have to download to find out.

The discussion on For Tomorrow WILL NOT DIE! in the email section whilst Andrew muses on a Howling Commando’s movie. Then Andrew & Micheal deliver Hellblazer’s final farewell, for which they’ve waited with baited breath. After perusing Hellblazer 298, 299 and 300, they welcome Constantine #1 with baited hook.

To finish off Superman’s Birthday, Micheal and Andrew look at CBR’s top 75 Superman stories, then delve into reader feedback before two more comics that don’t have super heroes in them. Well, kind of. ALIENS: EARTH ANGEL and PLANETARY #3. I’m pretty sure PLANETARY has a super hero in it…

Thungg, Earthlets! Tharg The Mighty here saying that this week’s Hey Kids, Comics! is packed with Thrill Power! So cough up your Galactic Groats as we delve deeply into Prog 10 with such Cosmic Masterpieces as Mach 1, Invasion!, Flesh, Harlem’s Heroes and of course Judge Dredd! And then thrill some more to Web Comic AXE-COP as “But it hasn’t got a super hero in it!” season meanders forth.

Be thankful you can’t catch ManFlu through headphones as Snotty McHeadcold and Phlegm bring you emails that somehow lead to a conversation about Superman – For Tomorrow! Then, War is Hell for Sgt’s Fury & Rock as “But it’s not got Super Heroes in it!” season continues with Our Army At War #158 and Sgt Fury and his Howling Commandos #5. Special thanks to Luke Jaconetti!

It’s a thoroughly random email segment where Angela picks her sexiest Superman and names all 11 Doctor Who actors in order – kind of – before Micheal and Andrew kick off “But it’s not got super heroes in it!” season. Andrew guides the Battlestar Galactica through the choppy waters of 70’s MARVEL and … a Micheal picks a super hero book! Hmmn. Somebody didn’t understand the rules.

Micheal & Andrew pitch a Magnum PI/Airwolf crossover, suggest the best names for your daughter and finally talk about comics. Yes, after the KNIGHTS/PRODIGAL stuff, they finally get around to the final 4 part TROIKA! Was it worth it? Listen & see.

What to say about this, the final episode of Happy Birthday Superman? Well, if you’ve listened to the others, it’s kind of like that – low-rent, no-budget wrong headed opinions but with added Spider-Man! Oh, and DOOM! Oodles of DOOM! Join Andrew and Micheal for the finale – DOOM won’t like it if you don’t.

In the penultimate Happy Birthday Superman, Andrew and Micheal read emails and talk comics. Business as usual. This week it’s the 00’s. “A Clown Comes to Metropolis” in Action Comics #765, Action Comics #775 ponders “What’s So Funny About Truth, Justice & The American Way?”, Clark uncovers “The Secret” in Superman #183 and we’re witness to “The Superman/Olsen War” in All-Star Superman #6.
