Episode 229: Superman: Birthright #1 by Mark Waid and Leinil Francis Yu

We're deep into 2025 already, but we're still going to do a readthrough this year. Superman: Birthright, by Mark Waid, Leinil Francis Yu, Gerry Alanguilan, Dave McCaig, and Comicraft is one of the definitive Superman origin stories. There have been a bunch of Superman origins, but Birthright is one that seems to have stood the test of time. Can you believe it's already over twenty years old? It's been a while since we last revisited it, and now we're gonna revisit it in decompressed fashion, with discussions on every single issue! Join us for the ride!In this first Birthright episode, we also talk about some general background for this limited series, our histories with it, and our familiarity with the other works of the creative team.If you have any thoughts, comments, questions, or corrections, we're here.
