Longbox Review

George had the brilliant idea of talking about the bicentennial issue of Action Comics (#463) where Superman gets punched into the year 1776 and ends up killing someone! It was another fantastic comic book conversation with my cross-country friend.

Breaking News! DC has finally released info on the creative team, direction, and art for the upcoming Legion of Super-Heroes series for DC Next Level. And we’re dropping a special surprise podcast full of reactions, speculations, and theories! We also dig into the art, designs, and story possibilities, as well as what the Legion franchise needs to finally be successful after so many reboots and restarts! All this and more on the 19th episode of Tales of the Legion Project!

Jim and Jay from the Long Live the Legion Podcast invited Peter and me to talk about Superboy (Starring the Legion of Super-Heroes) 203, which features the death of Invisible Kid and the dazzling debut of artist Mike Grell on the title. It was a fun conversation celebrating the zaniness of Legion comic books at the time.

Good Miracle Monday! MJ, from the Nerd Goggles podcast, joins me to talk about this 1981 novel by Elliot S! Maggin. Superman battles the Devil (but Lex Luthor is the best character — what?!)! Part 1 of 2.
