Your first step in to a much nerdier world.

Before DC could reboot its universe, it had to destroy an infinite number of them. Case Aiken, Jmike Folson, and Dr. Ryan Haupt take on Crisis on Infinite Earths, Marv Wolfman and George Pérez’s monumental attempt to reshape decades of DC continuity. From Supergirl’s iconic final battle and Barry Allen’s sacrifice to the two Supermen standing at the heart of the story, they look at why Crisis remains both a masterclass in superhero comics and the source of decades of continuity headaches.

What happens when Superman decides saving the world isn’t enough and tries to fix it instead? Case and Jmike are joined by Austin Funk to revisit Stormwatch: Change or Die, Warren Ellis’s three-part story about the High, a blatant Superman analogue with a plan to eliminate scarcity, tear down old systems, and build a better world. They dig into the story’s big ideas, its messy execution, and the tragedy of watching genuinely heroic people wind up on opposite sides of a fight over who gets to decide what “better” looks like.

For the latest Men of Steel, Case and Jmike welcome Red and Blue from Overly Sarcastic Productions back to the show for a full-season conversation about My Adventures with Superman Season 3. They talk about Kara as the season’s MVP, Jimmy’s romantic disasters, Lois and Clark facing their possible future, Bizarro being perfect, Cyborg Superman going full menace, and the show’s very anime-flavored spin on the Death and Return of Superman.

Case and Jmike continue their journey through Legends of the Dead Earth with guest Cly from Point in Progress! This time, they’re looking at 1996’s Superman Annual #8, “The League of Supermen,” a far-future story where Superman’s legacy lives on through a team of heroes who each inherit only one of his powers... and all the complications that come with it.

Supergirl has arrived in the DCU, and Men of Steel is here to talk about it. Case, Jmike, and special guest Keith Lehtinen break down the new film, from Kara’s traumatic past on Argo to her bond with Krypto, her contrast with Superman, the use of Lobo, and whether this adaptation of Woman of Tomorrow sticks the landing. The episode also features cameo reactions from Alan Williams, Ben Haslar, Bret Eagleston, Jesse Fresco, Kris Ingersoll, Mitch Punpayuk, Nic Woolfe, Randy Allain, Logan Crowley, and Red from Overly Sarcastic Productions.

Captain America comes to Men of Steel for the Fourth of July! Case and Jmike welcome Nicolas Cattelan from Below Deck: Down Under for a conversation about Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the MCU’s spy-thriller masterpiece about trust, freedom, fascism, friendship, and one very good man refusing to move.

This week, Case and Jmike are joined by Jim Fetters of Long Live the Legion to explore Legends of Dead Earth: Superboy, a wild 1996 annual that imagines an Aztec-inspired world where Superman's legacy has been twisted by power, greed, and ego.

We discuss corrupt mentors, future myths, Quetzalcoatl, evil Superman vibes that feel surprisingly ahead of their time, and a new Superboy determined to reclaim what the symbol should mean!
