In this special crossover episode of Men of Steel, we kick off a two-part team-up with the Long Live the Legion podcast! We're diving into “Foundations,” the early 2000s arc from The Legion—with special guests Jim and Jay from LLtL and the artist of the arc himself, Chris Batista! Together, we explore Superman's legacy in the 31st century, the evolving identity of the Legion, and what it was like illustrating this future-forward storyline. Part 2 continues on Long Live the Legion—don't miss it! Overview Case Aiken introduces crossover episode, featuring Jmike Folson, Jim Fetters, Jay McKiernan, and Chris Batista discussing the Legion of Superheroes 'Foundations' arc, celebrating its 45th anniversary. The plot centers on Darkseid snatching people from time to harness dark matter, with the Legion uncovering Superboy during the investigation. DNA (Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning) established as the core writing team; their earlier success with Marvel's cosmic stories enhances credibility. Chris Batista expresses concern over technology portrayal, advocating for a more advanced depiction of the Legion compared to Justice League. The Legion World headquarters is praised for its futuristic elements like replicated home worlds and teleportation gates. Despite rising sales and positive fan response, the series faced cancellation, causing frustration as issue 25 became the second-best selling of the series with a 25% readership increase. Character designs for the Servants of Darkness were mostly created by Chris Batista, with a conscious effort to maintain Kirby's aesthetic. Superboy's dual role as both Legion member and connection to Titans was anticipated, reflecting long-time fan expectations for character involvement. Kid Quantum is recognized as the first female leader of color in the Legion, showcasing character dynamics and development alongside Cosmic Boy. The evolution of Superboy's design aimed to match Teen Titans appearances, highlighting editorial influence on character aesthetics.   Notes ️ Podcast Introduction and Setup (00:00 - 02:09) Case Aiken introduces the Men of Steel podcast crossover episode with Long Live the Legion podcast, featuring co-host Jmike Folson and guests Jim Fetters, Jay McKiernan, and artist Chris Batista. Discussion focuses on Legion of Superheroes 'Foundations' arc, specifically issue 25 which serves as both story continuation and 45th anniversary celebration. Chris Batista reveals behind-the-scenes details about working as lead artist on the arc, noting DC doesn't produce this Legion continuity anymore so he can speak freely. Story Overview and Context (02:09 - 09:54) Jmike Folson summarizes the Foundations plot: people being snatched from time by Darkseid to steal dark matter for restarting Apokolips, with Legion discovering Superboy during investigation of warp phantoms. DNA (Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning) established as the writing team, with connections drawn to their later successful Marvel cosmic work including Guardians of the Galaxy. Legion Lost miniseries and Legion Worlds established crucial backstory, with 25 issues of world-building leading to this commemorative arc. ️ Technology and World-Building Discussion (09:54 - 16:05) Chris Batista expresses frustration with Paul Levitz rejecting advanced technology concepts for Legion, arguing they should appear far more advanced than Justice League. Legion World headquarters praised as major advancement - a planet with replicated home worlds and teleportation gates, making Legion feel appropriately futuristic. Discussion of how DNA run embraced technological advancement while previous runs kept Legion at similar tech level to 20th century heroes. Character Design and Development (01:01:03 - 01:24:10) Chris reveals Servants of Darkness designs were largely his creation except for Orion, with specific mentions of including Firestorm, White Martian, Lobo, Green Lantern, and Big Barda. Orion design intentionally modeled after Destroyer from Thor, maintaining Kirby aesthetic while creating intimidating servant appearance. Invisible Kid and Brainiac 5 romantic moment revealed as editor Steve Wacker's spontaneous addition 'just to mess with fans' - became lasting fan discussion point. Publishing History and Cancellation (01:24:16 - 01:59:06) Series cancellation explained as sudden higher-up decision despite rising sales and positive fan response to Superboy addition. Issue 25 was second-best selling of entire series with 25% increase in readership, making cancellation timing particularly frustrating. Original plans included Superboy remaining in both Legion and Titans simultaneously, with extensive story arcs planned for Element Lad return and Lightning Lad separation. Artist Collaboration and Creative Process (20:40 - 01:19:06) Chris describes working relationship with DNA as collaborative, with writers trusting him to design new characters like Legion cadets and including Easter eggs like Kent Shakespeare and Polar Boy. Multiple pencillers used for issue 25 to handle commemorative scope, with each artist assigned specific character groups to avoid overlap. Coloring technology evolution discussed, with modern computer coloring providing more tools but potentially reducing creative necessity of older 64-color process limitations. ⏳ Superman Connection and Time Travel Elements (34:02 - 01:54:06) Clark Kent and 90s Superboy both featured as characters pulled from time, with Clark becoming servant of darkness while Superboy joins Legion. Superboy wears classic costume with Legion belt buckle addition, fulfilling long-time fan expectations while serving story purposes. Time dilation plot involves universe getting smaller and past being erased, though hosts acknowledge the temporal mechanics don't fully make sense. Character Relationships and Dynamics (46:03 - 01:30:24) Mech (Lightning Lord) rehabilitation storyline discussed as more complex than typical villain treatment, showing struggle between evil nature and love for siblings. Kid Quantum established as Legion's first female leader of color, with organic romantic relationship with Cosmic Boy developing throughout arc. Livewire/Element Lad fusion creates extremely powerful character combining lightning abilities with matter transmutation in crystalline body. Technical and Production Details (01:36:23 - 01:51:38) Secret Files issue placement in continuity questioned due to timeline inconsistencies with main story events. Chris notes Superboy's physical design evolution throughout arc as editorial mandated size increases to match Teen Titans appearance. Force field technology and advanced Legion equipment discussed as properly futuristic elements that should distinguish team from contemporary heroes.

Burns kleines GeBlauder 40…diesmal mit "Peter Davids Spirit"…ein Nachruf

Folge Nummer 40 von Burns kleinem GeBlauder. Diesmal haben wir mal eine bisschen ungewöhnliche Blauderei. Der Burn erfüllt sich den ganz besonderen Wunsch, seinen Lieblingsautor Peter David zu interviewen und gleichzeitig über dessen Werk zu reflektieren. Leider aus dem bedauerlichen Anlass heraus, dass er kürzlich verstorben ist, ist es gleichzeitig auch eine Würdigung, ein Nachruf oder vielleicht sogar eine Lobpreisung. Es war dem Burn ein Herzensanliegen, das das hier auf die Seite kommt. Seine für Burn wichtigsten Werke:   1. The Incredible Hulk (1987–1998) Die definitive Hulk-Phase. Peter David hat den Hulk über 100 Ausgaben lang geschrieben und ihm endlich psychologische Tiefe gegeben. Er kombinierte Bruce Banners Kindheitstrauma mit multiplen Persönlichkeiten (z. B. den „grauen Hulk“ alias Joe Fixit). Action, Psychoanalyse und Noir – mit echtem Tiefgang. Incredible Hulk By Peter David Omnibus Vol. 2 [New Printing] Author: Peter David, Marvel Various, Illustrated by: Dale Keown, Marvel Various 9781302945336, Hardcover, $125, S. 1084 2. X-Factor (2005–2013, Marvel) Noir trifft Mutantenfamilie. David nimmt ein B-Team von X-Men-Charakteren (u. a. Madrox, Wolfsbane, Layla Miller) und macht daraus eine Detektivserie mit Superkräften. Stark dialogorientiert, mit cleverem Humor und überraschend viel Herz. Madrox' Konflikte sind großartig geschrieben. X-Factor By Peter David Omnibus Vol. 2 Author: Peter David, Illustrated by: Pablo Raimondi, Marvel Various 9781302945220, Hardcover, $125, S 1128 3. Spider-Man 2099 (1992–1996, 2014 ff.) Cyberpunk-Spidey mit sozialem Kommentar. Miguel O'Hara, ein genetisch veränderter Wissenschaftler, wird im Jahr 2099 zu Spider-Man. David verknüpft Sci-Fi-Weltbau mit klassischem Spidey-Charme. Dystopisch, aber mit David-typischem Wortwitz. Peter David kehrte mehrfach zur Figur zurück – sein Herz hängt dran. Spider-Man 2099 Omnibus Vol. 1 Author: Peter David, Marvel Various, Illustrated by: Rick Leonardi, Marvel Various 9781302947798, Hardcover, $150, S. 1384 4. Aquaman (1994–1998, DC) Vom Witzfigur-Image zum knallharten König. Peter David gab Aquaman Bart, Hakenhand und eine neue Ernsthaftigkeit. Episch und düsterer als frühere Versionen, mit politischen Untertönen. Aquaman by Peter David Omnibus Author: Peter David, Illustrated by: Marty Egeland, Various 9781779526052, Hardcover, DC $150, S. 1584 5. Young Justice (1998–2003, DC) Teen-Humor mit Substanz. Ein lockerer, frecher Superheldentitel mit Robin, Superboy und Impulse. Viel Slapstick, Wortwitz, aber auch Coming-of-Age-Themen. Young Justice Omnibus Vol. 1 Author: Peter David, Various, Illustrated by: Todd Nauck, Various 9781779526038, Hardcover, $150, S. 1272 6. Captain Marvel (1999–2004, Marvel) Meta, schräg, philosophisch. David schrieb den fast vergessenen Genis-Vell (Sohn des Originals) zu einem der interessantesten Cosmic-Charaktere um – samt Wahnsinn, Gottkomplex und moralischen Dilemmata. Surreal, oft selbstironisch – fast wie Douglas Adams im Marvel-Kosmos. Captain Marvel: Genis-Vell By Peter David Omnibus Author: Peter David, Fabian Nicieza, Illustrated by: ChrisCross, Marvel Various 9781302951658, Hardcover, $150, S. 1400 7. Fallen Angel (2003–2008, DC & IDW) Sein eigenes Baby. Eine düstere, metaphysische Serie über eine Wächterin einer Stadt voller verlorener Seelen. Mischung aus Superhelden, Mystery und religiösen Themen. auf die Suche gehen Ihr müsst... Die meisten seiner Serien sind tatsächlich in den fetten Omnibus Bänden lieferbar, aber hauptsächlich auf Englisch. Also auf Deutsch ist da relativ wenig zu bekommen. Wir haben diese normalerweise nicht im Laden aber die sind alle easy zu besorgen. Schaut euch mal an welche der Serien, die wir hier für euch rausgezogen hab am spannendsten sind und sprecht mich einfach drauf an, was wir dann da besorgen können oder was als Einstieg gut ist. Also auf jeden Fall gibt's die X-Factor Serie wie...

Superman Unlimited written by Dan Slott, with interior art by Rafael Albuquerque, colours by Marcelo Maiolo and letters by Dave Sharpe hits shelves tomorrow from DC Comics. This series is set up to be a brand new jumping-on point for all types of readers. If you're a new fan coming off of the excitement for the new film or an old fan wanting to return to the last son of Krypton, this is the book for you! I got the chance to sit down with Dan Slott to chat about the series, Superman, and his world. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or on YouTube! Our first Dan and Dan interview dug deep into the character of Spider-Man where we took time to unpack the character and this interview follows that same web. Dan and I talked about Superman Unlimited and how it came to be after so much time in the industry. Dan opened the interview hard talking about Superman's rogue gallery which we revisit later in the episode. Slott's other work has often featured a heavy emphasis on the third-party cast around superheroes, which has been lacking in mainstream comics. We discussed how he will use Superman's supporting cast in Superman Unlimited to bolster the character and the world around him. Dan talks about which characters he is going to make you fall in love with by the time his run is over. I was lucky enough to read Superman Unlimited before our chat, which I allude to in the interview. I will say there is a scene in issue one that recontextualizes something about Superman and the burden he carries with him that changes a pivotal point in the character's history. It's an extremely powerful moment that Slott has crafted that sets the path forward so much more exciting for longtime fans of the character. This is a series filled with heart, which makes a very strong Superman book for me. You will want to pick Superman Unlimited up as soon as you can!

Vernon and I also can't resist swapping Con tales about STTC, STLV, STSF, Dallas, and I even break down and tell my Klingon Jesus story. — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on BlueSky & Instagram - @AaronBossig
