In this episode, Curt and Kevin turn their attention to one of the most famous Superman stories of all time—the headline-grabbing, multi-part event storyline The Death of Superman, written and drawn by a rotating cast of creators and published by DC Comics! The hulking, mysterious figure who comes to be known as Doomsday arrives out of nowhere, destroying everything in his path! Not even the Justice League can slow this raging brute as he plods toward Metropolis, leaving death and ruin in his wake! Only one man has a chance against this inhuman monster. But is even Superman up to the task? Can the Man of Steel stop Doomsday's relentless onslaught without paying the ultimate price? (Well, the title of the story is a dead giveaway.) And will his name be added to that memorial of monumental epics known as … The Comics Canon? Things Discussed in This Episode: The Death of “Superman Lives”: What Happened? Vulture recounts the birth of Doomsday Extremely radical 90s bad guys Lex Luthor Jr. and Supergirl's creepy relationship Convoluted post-Crisis continuity The Garden of Gethsemane Glen Weldon's Superman: The Unauthorized Biography Superman's death scene done right Did we mention our Comics Canon TeePublic store?

It was a pretty light week for books but Eric was surprised by how good the Superman/Batman Annual #2 was and it made its way to the top as the book of the week. This week we also discuss Countdown #6, Captain America #36, Robin #172 and more. We've both been contemplating dropping some of our books so we decided to vent our frustrations with our top 5 titles that need to be rebooted.Subscribe on itunes here!
