Superman’s ENEMY LOIS LANE (The Loeb/Kelly Era II)

1 min read

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Javi Trujillo (The Comic Binge) dig into Lois & Clark’s apparent marital troubles during the Loeb/Kelly era of the Superman titles.

They discuss Clark’s difficult home life, a mature and realistic take on Ma & Pa, that Parasite reveal, Superman’s desperate search for Lois, and the “Critical Condition” arc — in which the miniaturized Superman Family enters Superman’s body to save him from Kryptonite poisoning.
