💥 All right, you Jon Kent fanatics! This week, Shawn Eastridge (Missing Frames) & I dig into the complete SUPER SONS works from writer Peter Tomasi. We really enjoyed the characters of Jon & Damian and their odd couple dynamic — but how did the actual STORIES hold up? 🎧 NOW as our “Reign” ends!

💥 I better see BIG numbers for tomorrow’s SUPER SONS episode — particularly from everyone always lamenting Jon’s aging up — or this is the last dedicated Jon ep you’ll get! 😆 I kid. More or less. And by “more or less,” I mean I’m really not kidding. Tomorrow!

TUESDAY. Shawn Eastridge & I had a very thoughtful, interesting discussion about this one. Don’t miss it!

MIDNIGHT EST. It’s the “Superboy-Prime 101” episode you’ve been waiting for. Ralph & I had a great time discussing the character . . . AND I might have taken a page out of Prime’s book with some fourth wall breaking added in post. Gotta listen ALL the way through on this one!

Even though it technically took place just before “Reign of the Superboys” — aka the main thrust of this week’s episode — we HAD to carve out a minute or two to salute this stellar issue of ACTION COMICS, which gave Good Ol’ Pete Ross (his official title, btw) a long-overdue spotlight!

Host Anthony Desiato shines a light on "All-Star Batman & Robin, The Boy Wonder" by Frank Miller & Jim Lee with comic book creator Brandon Montclare — aka the Assistant Editor on the original series! Listen at dailyplanetdc.com/audio or wherever you get your podcasts!

Thanks to everyone who’s already 🎧 to our latest! If you’re not current on the books — or you’re not a comics reader generally — but you want to see what “Reign of the Superboys” was all about, let us guide you through it! It’s another fun conversation with Sweet-Sweet.

💥 IT’S A REIGN! Sweet-Sweet Bernie joins me to break down the recent “Reign of the Superboys” publishing initiative across the Super-titles. We talk Prime in SUPERMAN, Conner in SUPERGIRL, the return of young Jon (or is it?) in SUPERMAN UNLIMITED, & past Clark with the JLU in ACTION COMICS. 🎧 NOW!

Along with guest sleuth @diggingforkrpod.bsky.social, we discovered that BATMAN v SUPERMAN could have been something quite different! Tune in to hear more: Apple: tinyurl.com/3bt9aye8 Spotify: tinyurl.com/BvSSpotify YouTube: tinyurl.com/BvSYouTB #BatmanvSuperman #MovieReview
