| February 2, 2012: From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast |
Welcome to the 126th episode of From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast! This podcast has a simple premise; examine just about every Superman comic published between Man of Steel #1 in 1986 to Adventures of Superman #649 in 2006 in an informative and hopefully entertaining format.
Part index. Part commentary. Part history lesson. All podcast.
This week Mike and Jeff continue their series on the DEATH AND RETURN OF SUPERMAN by discussing the fifth and sixth chapters of FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND. In ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #499 (Part 5 of the storyline) Supergirl discovers that Superman’s body is missing and ends up fighting with a bunch of Underworlders in her search for the Man of Steel’s corpse. Also in that issue Dan Turpin cuts loose. Then in ACTION COMICS #686 the Guardian makes a ghastly discovery at Cadmus while the search for Superman’s body continues. Finally Mike tells you what else was going on in the DCU with the appropriately named ELSEWHERE IN THE DCU segment.
Next time: FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND concludes with SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL #21 and SUPERMAN #77.
You can subscribe to the show in two ways. First there is the RSS Feed and there is also the iTunes link. You can also download the episode directly.
If you want to comment on the show or contact the hosts you can always private message Mike and Jeff, leave comments here or email them at fromcrisistocrisis@gmail.com. All questions, concerns, fears, trepidations and cheap shots are welcome.

| February 2, 2012: Henry Cavill at Edwards Air Force Base |
The Edwards Air Force Base website has posted an article explaining how Henry Cavill took time out from filming on "Man of Steel" to meet with men and women stationed at the base to sign autographs and pose for photos on January 31.
More than 100 Airmen filled the dining facility from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., where each received an autographed "Man of Steel" lithograph, and had the option of taking a photograph with Cavill.
"It was great that he took the time out of his busy schedule to do something so wonderful for the military," said Senior Airman Lyndee Bennett, 95th Security Forces Squadron. "He was incredibly nice. It's amazing how an event like this humanizes the actors. I really enjoyed the opportunity to meet him."
Read the complete report at the EAFB website.

| February 2, 2012: The Adventures Continue for Fans of "Adventures of Superman" |
Fans of the 1950's TV show "Adventures of Superman" will be interested to know that The Adventures Continue (TAC), a website devoted to that classic series and its star, George Reeves, has added new and revised content.
TAC editor/researcher Lou Koza shares his collection of rare photos of Reeves escorting three-time Olympic champion figure skater Sonja Henie to the Hollywood film premier of The Egyptian, in 1954. Also new is the three-episode saga "Superman and the Mob Men" by Bruce Kanin (which includes an informative preface), and Kirk Hastings' "The Girl of Steel," which is illustrated to show what 1960's Bewitched actress Elizabeth Montgomery would have looked like as a 1950's TV Supergirl.
Updated articles detail Reeves' appearance at a 1957 sportsmen's show in Connecticut, a remarkable photo gallery of 1950's kids wearing Superman "play suits," reviews of five George Reeves films by the late Janeen Christensen, and a bio of Reeves paramour Toni Mannix (portrayed in the 2006 film Hollywoodland by Diane Lane, who will be seen as Martha Kent in next year's Man of Steel).
There's hours of fascinating reading, rare images, and super-nostalgia waiting for you at TAC, which can be found at www.jimnolt.com.
While you're there, also check out the features and extra goodies in each of the "TAC Year in Review" items listed on the site.
(TAC was founded and is owned by Superman historian Jim Nolt, and is the continuation of his 1990's TAC fanzine, originated by Dr. Don Rhoden.)

| February 2, 2012: The New 52 Adventures of Superman - Episode 3 |
The New 52 Adventures of Superman is a podcast dedicated to covering every adventure of Superman and his family of characters as they are currently being published as part of DC Comics - The New 52!
Welcome back for the third episode of The New 52 Adventures of Superman, where Jon, Mike, and Dave crack into the second month of Superman's latest incarnation:
Action Comics #2 -- "Superman in Chains" -- Superman has been captured by Lex Luthor and must escape. We learn a lot about his physiology and just how evil a man this new Luthor is.
Superboy #2 -- "Superboys and Their Toys" -- Superboy is sent on his first training mission before being sent after the Teen Titans. The question arises concerning just where this series is headed, cuz it's not what we expected coming out of the first issue.
The New 52 Adventures of Superman is a proud member of the Superman Podcast Network. If you wish to send feedback, you may do so in the comments below or via email. You can also subscribe to the show through iTunes.

| February 1, 2012: Superman Tribute Fence Repaired |
In May 2011 a drunk driver crashed through the ornamental fence that surrounds the site of Joe Shuster's former home in Cleveland, Ohio, damaging metal plates that tell the Superman story as it began in 1938.
Seven of the fifteen plates were damaged in the accident and now have all been repaired and replaced. The fence at the corner of Amor and Parkwood avenues in Glenville was originally created and installed by the Glenville Development Corporation and the Siegel and Shuster Society.
