Fifth Week Bonus #2: Superman: The Man of Tomorrow
from The Iron Age of Comics · host Justin Zyduck and Jim Cannon
Another fifth week is upon us, the perfect excuse to take a quick-hit look at one of DC Comics' actual fifth-week bonuses: Superman: The Man of Tomorrow #1, first of an ongoing quarterly title designed to ensure a Superman book came out each and every week of the year. We examine this curious artifact of a publishing strategy the market will no longer bear, along with a brief overview of Superman's subplot-laden "Triangle Era" in general. This mini-episode answers the two big questions: 1.) What would George Costanza think of '90s Superman comics? and 2.) Where do your hosts fall on the "mullet vs. long hair" debate? (This episode has a moderate audio quality issue, for which we apologize. But it was probably Lex Luthor’s fault somehow.)
