Release: Jul 04, 2023

Jon Says:

I’ve never read Injustice or played the game, but I did recently watch the animated movie. I’m no fan of evil tyrant Superman stories – mostly because there are far too many of them – but I’m mildly interested in this, as it’s being viewed from Jon’s perspective and some of what Injustice Superman has achieved is the sort of thing that Jon hopes to achieve on his own world. Just, y’know, without the evil tyrant part.

Jon Says:

If you’ve been reading the Mail Call posts – and the traffic stats tell me you haven’t* – you know that I’ve been toying with the notion of having a complete run of Superman Vol. 1 from the year I was born until the series ended in 1986. Saw this in the backissue boxes and figured I might as well get myself one issue closer.

*The traffic stats tell me you haven’t been reading anything else either.
