Host Anthony Desiato and guest Michael Bailey (Fortress of Baileytude) dig into the "Return to Krypton" storyline from the Loeb/Kelly era — which teased a move away from the cold, sterile world depicted by John Byrne in the Post-Crisis landscape and a return to the warm & wondrous Krypton of the Silver Age.

This episode covers:

• SUPERMAN #166-167 by Jeph Loeb & Ed McGuinness
• ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #589 by Joe Casey & Duncan Rouleau
• SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL #111 by Mark Schultz & Doug Mahnke
• ACTION COMICS #776 by Joe Kelly & Kano

They also discuss the sequel — "Return to Krypton II" — that ran across the Super-titles in 2002.
