We were off last week but we did our best to make up for lost time. Some fun debates this week, hey can’t agree on everything but we have fun anyway. Superman just seems to be a polarizing character, from Superman year one to Man of Steel we do our best to present all sides. Plus, of course plenty of comic book talk and recommended reading.
