From Crisis to Crisis - The Married Years (A Superman and Lois Podcast)
Welcome to the two hundredth and sixty-sixth episode of From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast! This podcast has a simple premise; examine just about every Superman comic published between Man of Steel #1 in 1986 to Adventures of Superman #649 in 2006 in an informative and hopefully entertaining format. Final Night concludes! And the Sun Eater causes the sun to go nova, and everyone dies. End of show. Just kidding! The road to the end of Final Night begins with Mike and Jeff looking at Superman: The Man of Steel #62, which not only focuses on Superman helping the brave workers at the Metropolis power station get said station back on line after the roof collapses but also shows Professor Hamilton viewing the holograms of Jor-El trying to save the population of Krypton during the planet's final days. There's also a sub-plot of Perry and his family heading to the Daily Planet and putting out the next edition despite the power being out and the world potentially coming to an end. Then the boys look at Flash #119, Hitman #8, and Legion of Super-Heroes #86, because those issues seem to take place before the final issue of the main series. Then the rubber meets the road in Final Night #4, where Superman makes the decision to fly the ship that's going to take the thingy to stop the Sun Eater. He doesn't get the chance when Ferro Lad kind of, sort of steals the ship but even his attempts at self-sacrifice fall through when Hal Jordan decides that he is going to be the one to save the day. Finally, the boys chat about the final three crossover issues, which come in the form of Robin #35, Takion #6, and Spectre #47.

The Legion meets up with the Scooby Gang, as they solve the mystery of The Ghost of Ferro Lad!
Famed editor and writer JIM SHOOTER talks with Geoff about Ferro Lad, a character he created for DC's Legion of Superheroes as a teenage writer in the mid-60s. Ferro Lad, the boy hero whose sacrifice changed comics in the 1967 "Death of Ferro Lad," appeared on DC's pages as white -- but he wasn't supposed to be. Jim Shooter discusses why he originally wrote Ferro Lad as Black, the political and social causes that inspired him, and why DC suppressed the idea. Learn more about your ad choices.

Darren and Paul take a look into the past of the future, as Sensor Girl tells a story of her early days as a Legionnaire, as she, Karate Kid and Ferro Lad sought to prove themselves.
Welcome back you amazing people and get ready for the last half of one of the best, and most underrated, crossover events of the 1990's, The Final Night! In fact, this story is so awesome, I'm not even covering a Green Lantern comic this time out. But that doesn't mean that Kyle Rayner is absent from the story, as he and the rest of Earth's heroes desparately try to save the planet from the Sun Eater. However, the consequences are dire as The Man of Steel is all but powerless, Kyle is out of the picture, and even the genius of Brainiac and Luthor (well, smug arrogance of Luthor) can't come up with a solution. In the end, the Earth's fate rests in the hands of a fallen hero who still might not be up to the task. It is truly an epic story that ends with a renewal of heroism that rivals the sacrifices made by others in the Crisis on Infinite Earths. And because of the scope of this story, as well as it's ties to a similar story with the Legion of Superheroes, I have brought along podcaster extraordinaire J. David Weter (host of PADSmash: An Incredible Hulk Podcast and co-host of Superman in the Bronze Age) to fill you in on just who the heck this Ferro kid is and how he relates to the actual Ferro Lad. It's like a Michael Bay/Roland Emmerich movie in comics form, except it isn't an assault on your intelligence. So unless you want to end up like the Cyborg, I suggest you grab your mp3 player of choice, download the show and get to listening!Feedback for this show can be sent to: justoneoftheguyspodcast@gmail.comJust One Of The Guys is a proud member of the Two True Freaks!

The Subs dive into the past for a bit. Well, the past of the future, that is. It’s a look at the origins of some dead Legionnaires, some of whom have died a few times! Secret Origins is the book, and it’s a look at Ferro Lad, Chemical King and Karate Kid.
Scott, Darren, Matt and Paul dive back into the Silver Age as Legion babies show up in Adventure Comics 356 and The Ghost of Ferro Lad makes an eerie appearance in Adventure Comics 357. All this plus listener feedback, an all-Chemical King edition of Stump the Subs and discussion of Jim Shooter’s vocabulary.
