I recently started reading Action Comics going all the way back to #1 in 1938 - and some of it is just wild! And I thought - I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS! So welcome to a brand new podcast, "ReAction Comics" where in every episode episode I talk about the Superman stories in every issue of Action Comics! So basically, I'll be doing this podcast for the rest of my life. I hope you check it out!!
