The StoryMen are proud to participate in the first ever Christian Geek Podcast Tour! We join nine other excellent podcasts to discuss SUPERHEROES! The StoryMen choose to tackle the big blue boyscout himself: SUPERMAN! From his first appearance in Action Comics in 1938 to the new Man of Steel film, what makes Superman tick? Why do the good stories work, and why was Superman Returns so very, very bad? All this and more in this week’s episode:

In this Episode:
0:00 – Welcome Back! and the Podcast Tour
5:30 – Origin Story: When we met Superman
17:00 – The Best Superman Comics
28:00 – Superman on TV
35:30 – Man of Steel and making a good Superman movie
