Random Comic Pick - Episode 44

There was no individual pick for The Comic Conspiracy: Episode 44 this week due to our time constraints and the fact that Ryan Higgins despises the Random Comic Pick portion of the show.
We did however talk about a key story in comic book history, which was the Death of Superman [Superman (1986-2006) Vol. 2 #75] because Higgins had us watch the Death and Return of Superman video by Max Landis that was posted recently (which you should watch for yourself, but I warn you now you can't get that time back) on YouTube which is an attack slash parody of the events of The Death and Return of Superman. As we pointed out in the podcast there are blatant fallacies in it, but you'll just have to watch for yourself.

Below is a reading list for the Death and Return of Superman:

  1. Didint read 75 myself until I snagged a 5th or 6th printing, even though i was one of those chumps who lined up for the black baggie edition. I remember the dirtbags on the shopping channel hustling a LATE reprint for the going price of the first printing.

    You dudes should talk about Knightfall, now that was some good reading.

    1. That whole Death of Superman frenzy was a load of bull shit for those who just wanted to read a copy.

      I have yet to read Knightfall. I am going to start with the trades DC is releasing this year. Excited!

    2. Awesome - I just might have to check those out myself. I wish Jean-Paul Valley had gotten more respect after all was said and done.
