Stew is joined by legendary comic book scribe Ron Marz to discuss the 2011 Green Lantern movie, which features parts of his own work. What does he think of it, and do either think it is as bad as its rep? For more from Ron Marz, click HERE. Continue reading Episode 100: Green Lantern
Pink or GTFO. Or the man-kini girdle.. COSMIC BOY (Rokk Krinn, aka Polestar)Silver Age Cosmic Boy:-One of the only pink-clad male superheroes ever, Cosmic Boy’s as old as they come on the Legion, debuting alongside Lightning Lad & Saturn Girl. Since then, he’s pretty much been the resolute leader of the squad, leading the team more often than not (he’s effectly the “Cyclops” of the … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Cosmic Boy & Magnetic Lad
LIGHTNING LAD (Garth Ranzz) Silver Age Lightning Lad:-Lightning Lad is a charter member of the Legion, and one of it’s all-time most important members. Kinda hard to think of a time when “Electrical Guy” WASN’T one of the more common super-powers in comics, but there it is, I think he’s one of the very first. He’s also had kind of an iffy place in Legion history, dying … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Lightning Lad & Saturn Girl
Now that I’ve started off with mini-bios of Superboy & Supergirl, here’s their Post-Crisis stand-ins & successors: Andromeda & Kent Shakespeare! They- they knew what they were doing with the wording and the body language in that last panel, weren’t they? Original Laurel Gand:Andromeda was one of those odd Legionnaires chosen to fill a gap- this gap being Supergirl’s history with the Legion. Introduced as … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Andromeda & Kent Shakespeare
So this obscure fellow is actually an idea Siegel & Shuster came up with a few years later- some would say they based him off of Fawcett Comics’ success with Captain Marvel Jr., but instead of making a sidekick character, they just told the stories of “Superman When He Was a Boy”. He got a whole new supporting cast and became a HUGE deal, earning … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Superboy & Supergirl
Threeboot:The Threeboot era is what really killed the Legion for a lot of people. Not even that it was particularly BAD, but just the fact that fifty years of stories meant NOTHING, yet again- Legion fans had suffered through this once before, and more if you count all the Retcons and “fixes” that just buggered things up further (the origin had been retold about four … Continue reading Jabs Legion Of Superheroes Overview, Part 2
THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES: The Legion of Super-Heroes is one of the oldest super-teams in all of comics, and one of its most original ideas. Which is kind of funny, because it was dealt with very off-handedly at first in your typical Superboy adventure. Superboy at the time was basically “The Adventures of Superman when he was a boy!”, and the Legionnaires introduced were just the original … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: The Legion of Super-Heroes
For more Young Justice Retrospectives, click HERE! EPISODE 15 We start off on Rimborr for a thrilling episode of Law & Order: Galactic Intent. Superman is arguing at the Justice League’s trial that they had no control over their attack on the planet, but the tribunal in charge seems disbelieving of this.

The last time I read a modern comic book that starred Conner Kent, the results were… less than ideal. So less than ideal that I’ve been scared off of reading the ongoing title of one of my favorite characters (Tim Drake: Robin) because the same writer has been at the helm of that series. But things are different now! No longer under the Dark Crisis … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Superboy: Man Of Tomorrow
I kind of occasionally regret that I’m, so bad at watching television shows. But they are such a huge commitment, and I’m already smack dab in the middle of watching the entirety of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I’d almost always really rather watch movies. But I remember really enjoying the first season-and-a-half of CW’s Stargirl show. Brec Basinger really nailed the role of Courtney Whitmore, … Continue reading Stargirl: The Lost Children review

Welcome to a new feature here at SWO Productions! Some of our contributors will be getting together with me to review each of our favorite artists for some of the most popular comic book characters of all time. These characters have existed in the culture for decades, and the number of amazingly talented artists that have leant their abilities to them is absurd. But who … Continue reading Our Favorite Superman Artists
I feel like I read the original DCeased story arc a few years ago for my previous podcast venture, but I’m not actually 100% sure. The past was so long ago, you know. I do definitely recall having read it; what I don’t remember is whether I talked about it or not. DCeased was basically DC’s attempt at a Marvel Zombies style story where the … Continue reading DCeased: War Of The Undead Gods Review
The truth is out there. And in comic books, you don’t even have to look that hard; there are aliens EVERYWHERE. Some are heroes. Some are villains. But there is absolutely no lack of interstellar life in Marvel, DC, or the independent comic book arena. So Fox Mulder would be like a pig in… wait, would he be? Or would the ubiquitous nature of extra … Continue reading Top Ten: Comic Alien Races
