Episode 97 Part 2: 1997 or “The Single Life”
The end is nigh…at least of this thirteen part series looking back at my misspent youth leading up to the epic, epic, EPIC episode 100. This week Shag and I wrap up (if talking for two hours can be called “wrapping it up”) the year 1997. We kick things off with talking up the films Men in Black, Batman and Robin, Spawn and Steel. If you can make it through that then the comic talk and personal reminisces starts in earnest as we discuss such things as Heroes Return, Faces of the DCU, New Year’s Evil, Superman Red/Superman Blue, how my sister messed things up for me and this girl I really like, how I screwed things up for myself with a rather attractive lady, the return of Lex Luthor: Bad Ass Villain, why Superman Secret Files and Origins #1 was so damn important (at least to me) and much, much more.
As usual you can check out Shag’s Internet content at Once Upon a Geek and Firestorm Fan. If you haven’t checked these blogs out yet do so now.
Next week: The Christmas Episode. I hope. It is going to be kind of low key but I that’s the sort of mood I’m in this year.
Hey Michael. I was primarily a devotee of FC2C and wasn’t too interested in checking out a broader podcast for the wider comics world, but I’m sure happy I’ve started listening to this one. Your trip down memory lane, both in terms of comics and in terms of the professional and, in some cases, the personal, mirrors my own.
This miniseries you’ve embarked on has been tons of fun.
