In this episode we discuss the comic book industry of the early 90s and the impact that seismic events, such as the comic book sales boom and the founding of image comics, had on the descision making behind the story and particularly, the arc that follows THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Death_of_Superman) and SUPERMAN: FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Superman:_Funeral_for_a_Friend), REIGN OF THE SUPERMEN!!

We also talk a little about DCs infamous BLOODLINES CROSSOVER EVENT (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Bloodlines_(storyline)) (Greg Suffered so that you don't have to!) In the context of it being an interesting bridge between Knightfall and The Death And Return Of Superman. 
Foil covers, trading cards, and more variant covers than you can shake a stick at, ITS ALL HERE! So join us as we continue our voyage through "THE DEATH AND RETURN OF SUPERMAN" (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Death_and_Return_of_Superman)
