Host Anthony Desiato and guest Perry Constantine (Superhero Cinephiles) conclude their look back at writer Geoff Johns’s tenure on ACTION COMICS during the Post-Infinite Crisis era!
In Part 2 of a special 2-part event, Anthony and Perry cover the storylines “Superman & the Legion of Super-Heroes” and “Brainiac” — along with the SECRET ORIGIN miniseries — all drawn by Gary Frank. They also examine ACTION #865 (with art by Jesus Merino), a Toyman spotlight that retconned one of the villain’s most notorious stories.
Anthony and Perry discussed SUPERMAN: UNBOUND, the animated adaptation of “Brainiac,” on Perry’s podcast here.
Digging for Kryptonite previously covered SECRET ORIGIN in a dedicated episode here. For coverage of the entire New Krypton Saga — which followed the Geoff Johns era — check out Part 1 and Part 2.
