What's that in the sky?...Is it a bird? Is it a plane? NO! It's the 3rd instalment of your trusty comic book podcast We’ve Got Back Issues! In this episode your heroes ponder the highs, the lows, the hype and the marketing strategy that was the Death of Superman. Come with us to a time before the advent of the comics explosion, where event stories were just that and not an annual procession, to a time when Superman was still relevant? As we look at an event comic that arguably directly lead, or at least contributed to, the great comics crash of the 90s.
Listen as we discuss DCs Hulk rip-off and the Man of Steel knocking seven bells out of one another across the pages of 7 issues of 5 DC books until they both collapse in a bloody heap. Can a comic consist entirely of splash pages? Can the man of tomorrow survive? The title kind of gives it away! But that won't stop Sleeves and Galactosh digesting and dissecting it for your listening pleasure in what people are already calling the greatest comic book club discussion podcast?
