Host Anthony Desiato and guest Shawn Eastridge (Missing Frames podcast) dig into John Byrne's seminal 1986 miniseries THE MAN OF STEEL, which rebooted Superman for the Post-Crisis era. Anthony and Shawn break down all six issues and the changes they brought to Superman's origin, mythology, characterization, and supporting cast. On the verge of its 40th anniversary, how does THE MAN OF STEEL hold up today?
