Cette semaine, à l'approche de la sortie du nouveau film de James Gunn début juin, consacré à l'un des héros les plus emblématiques de DC Comics, nous consacrons notre nouvel épisode de ComicsDiscovery à Superman: Origines Secrètes. Ce récit emblématique de Geoff Johns et Gary Frank revisite les fondations du mythe de Superman tout en le modernisant. C'est un oiseau, c'est un avion… c'est Geoff Johns et Gary Frank !Le nom de ce duo créatif devrait vous sembler familier si vous écoutez régulièrement ComicsDiscovery. Geoff Johns joue un rôle central dans l'histoire moderne de DC Comics. Pendant plusieurs années, il supervise l'éditorial de l'éditeur et réinvente de nombreux personnages. Ce scénariste passionné exprime un amour profond pour la Distinguée Concurrence et démontre une connaissance impressionnante du Golden Age et du Silver Age, notamment en ce qui concerne Superman, Batman ou encore la Justice Society of America. Il remet régulièrement en lumière des personnages oubliés et construit des récits riches en émotions. Parmi ses œuvres les plus marquantes, on retrouve Green Lantern: Rebirth, The Flash: Rebirth, Infinite Crisis, Doomsday Clock et sa relance de la Justice League pendant l'ère New 52. Gary Frank, illustrateur britannique reconnu, accompagne souvent Johns dans ses projets. Son style réaliste et cinématographique marque profondément les œuvres qu'il touche. Grâce à ses traits fins, il transmet avec précision les émotions de ses personnages. Il illustre notamment Doomsday Clock, Batman: Earth One et Shazam!. Son dessin, détaillé et expressif, modernise l'image des héros DC tout en respectant leur héritage visuel. Superman: Origines Secrètes – Retour aux sourcesDans Superman: Origines Secrètes (Superman: Secret Origin), le duo Johns et Frank choisit de revisiter les débuts de Superman, à une période clé de l'univers DC, juste après Infinite Crisis. Johns reconstruit les origines de Kal-El en mettant l'accent sur les éléments mythologiques fondateurs du personnage, tout en adaptant son histoire aux lecteurs modernes. Il replace Superboy à Smallville, suit les premiers pas de Clark Kent en tant que héros adolescent, et orchestre ses premières rencontres avec ceux qui formeront la future Justice League. Dans cette version, le Clark Kent que l'on découvre rappelle fortement celui du film de Richard Donner sorti en 1978. Grâce aux dessins de Gary Frank, qui s'inspire ouvertement de l'acteur Christopher Reeve, cette version du personnage rend un vibrant hommage au cinéma tout en conservant sa propre personnalité. Accessible, émotive et fidèle à l'esprit du personnage, Origines Secrètes s'impose comme un excellent point d'entrée pour ceux qui souhaitent (re)découvrir Superman. L'album allie le respect du passé à une narration fluide et moderne.

Concluding (for now) our look at the saga of Kyle Rayner, the last of the Green Lantern Corps (for the ‘90s, at least). Just when Kyle finally thinks he's proved himself for all time as a worthy owner of the power ring, his future comes into question when a trip to the 30th century reveals the Legion of Super-Heroes have no record of his career as Green Lantern. His position isn't much more secure in the 20th century after he picks up an unplanned stowaway on his travels through time: a novice Hal Jordan. By the time Parallax shows up, all our emerald gladiators have to confront their legacies for better or for worse. As we wrap up, we'll also talk about the real-world legacy of the character and comic in the wake of Hal Jordan's more permanent return in Geoff Johns' Green Lantern: Rebirth.Discussed in this episode: Green Lantern #95-106, plus crossover issues of Green Arrow and The Flash.We could use a little green ourselves!

THE BEST BOOK CLUB IN THE MULTIVERSE! After the events of the SINESTRO CORPS WAR, the Book Club Bois go back in time to see where this rivalry between Thaal Sinestro and Hal Jordan began! Reckless pilot Hal Jordan is whisked away from his normal life to the wreckage of an alien spaceship, where he finds a dying Abin Sur - protector of Sector 2814. Abin passes his mantle and responsibilities to Jordan, who becomes the new GREEN LANTERN!

On this week's episode of Bros, Foes, and Heroes, we shine the spotlight on one of DC's most underappreciated (and occasionally ridiculous) characters—Booster Gold!Originally created in 1986 by Dan Jurgens, Booster is a disgraced 25th-century football star turned time-traveling hero who stole his gear from a museum and headed back to the 21st century to get rich and famous. But in this week's issue, we dive into the 52 Pick-Up arc by Geoff Johns and Jeff Katz to uncover how Booster became something more—maybe even one of DC's greatest unseen heroes.From the Royal Flush Gang to Skeets the robot sidekick, Guy Gardner's bowl cut, and multiple multiverse-saving missions, this episode has it all. Oh—and yes, there's time travel, egos, and someone possibly punching Jonah Hex.It's time to enjoy: Booster Gold!#BoosterGold #DCComics #BrosFoesHeroes #ComicBookHistory #GeoffJohns #JusticeLeagueInternational #BlueBeetle #TimeTravel #SuperheroPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

THE BEST BOOK CLUB IN THE MULTIVERSE! Join the Book Club Bois for their 200TH SESSION! This week, we're kicking off the second leg of our journey through the Geoff Johnnaisance of the 2000s with GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH! Long ago, Hal Jordan was the greatest of the Green Lanterns… until he wasn't. A legacy tarnished, a Corps destroyed, and trust broken meant that Jordan's story would go down in history as a cautionary tale of flying too close to the sun. But what if… that's not where the story ends? What if the greatest Green Lantern could be… reborn? PLUS, stay til the end for a GIGANTIC ANNOUNCEMENT that will change Geeksplained forever!

JSA #56 (2004)Welcome to #JSApril! Worst Collection Ever is proud to participate in this celebration of JSA content by delivering our wicked takes on Geoff Johns's “Black Reign” saga!This issue plays out more like the first act of a promsing action flick, with Black Adam recruiting a crew of disenchanted, mayhem-seeking folks to help him liberate his home country of Kahndaq. We got the assassin Nemesis, a tatted-up Eclipso, a freshly-mutated Northwind, a conflicted Atom Smasher and Chester Bennington of Linkin Park aka Brainwave aka Robert Englund from the V mini-series. The scene gets bloody and emotional and there are cooling brains all over the place.We also spend a bit of time parsing out Northwind's creation so, if you new to the podcast, put a fun movie on for the kids and then hide under a blanket while you listen to this.All this plus Jen and Shawn buy a bunch of cheap trades, new DC Absolute offerings and the Hawk Tuah Girl runs afoul of the Dark Knight![NOTE — we (or specifically Shawn) refers to Northwind a bunch as “Hawkwind.” Hawkwind was a band that Lemmy was in before Motörhead - we are aware of this. We will most likely screw this up again, so there you go]*** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:22:14 ***Promo: #JSAPRIL (https://fireandwaterpodcast.com/podcast/jsapril/)Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

Bryan Hitch talks about Ghost Machine, his new publishing effort with Geoff Johns and their book, Redcoat. Simon Pure is an imortal from the revolutionary war that discovers a conspiracy involving the founding fathers. Some of them also appear to be immortal. We also talk about Bryan's art process, work of Venom, Ultimate Invasion and many past DC books.
On this week of BatMarch we cover a modern take on some classic Batman lore with Batman Earth One volume 1. “Geoff Johns and artist Gary Frank re-imagine a new mythology for the Dark Knight, where the familiar is no longer the expected in this original graphic novel from DC Comics.”But first Jake reveals a secret about recording the podcast of late. Cody has a wholesome weekend. Once again, Cody's split pea soup was not in fact split by he himself. Anthony reveals a disrespectful costume of his in high school. We decide it's time to do a Jumanji episode. Jake talks about his role in the new Jumanji film promos. Anthony & Cody turn their backs on Jack Black. Jake reveals he turns his back on Cody at least once a year. Alfred is a straight G in this comic. Penguin great as the big villain in this comic. We discuss DC's other Earth One comics. Gary Frank's art gives a very distinct feel to the book. Are we possibly getting a very big guest in the near future? Does Matt Reeves' The Batman draw inspiration from this book? Bruce Wayne's rich entitled bratty self is responsible for the death of his parents. Is this a more entitled Bruce Wayne than other iterations? Geoff Johns pays homage to past comic & film Batman lore. The Earth One books are some strong DC comics especially Green Lantern Earth One & Superman Earth One. Letting people borrow comic books is something Jake & Anthony can agree on: DON'T DO IT! Cody admits he ruined one of Jake's comics while Jake admits to holding one of Cody's hostage. Cody gives reason why you shouldn't let him borrow anything. Is 3 shots of liquor equal to one shovel? Tune into the answer for these questions and for more BatMarch!Check out Superguy on Kickstarter:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mrtonynacho/superguy-1Check out our Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/ComicsandChronicCheck out our website: https://www.comicsandchronic.com/New episodes every THURSDAYFollow us on social media!

Host Anthony Desiato presents another double feature as the "All-Star Superboy" event draws to an epic conclusion! First, Anthony and guest Scott Honig dig into Geoff Johns' legendary run on TEEN TITANS with artist Mike McKone and others — which revealed that half of Superboy's DNA came from Lex Luthor, introduced the now-iconic t-shirt & jeans look, and established the Conner Kent civilian identity.THEN! Anthony welcomes first-time guest Adam Daltorio to dig into the post-resurrection, pre-New 52 Conner stories "The Boy of Steel" (from ADVENTURE COMICS by Geoff Johns & Francis Manapul) and "Smallville Attacks" (from the 2010-2011 SUPERBOY series by Jeff Lemire & Pier Gallo).The episode also addresses Conner's 2019 return to continuity, current status quo, and adaptations on SMALLVILLE, YOUNG JUSTICE, and TITANS.This marks the conclusion of the podcast's Conner Kent coverage.
