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

<p>We&#39;re deep into 2025 already, but we&#39;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&#39;s already over twenty years old? It&#39;s been a while since we last revisited it, and now we&#39;re gonna revisit it in decompressed fashion, with discussions on every single issue! Join us for the ride!</p><p><br></p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>If you have any thoughts, comments, questions, or corrections, we&#39;re here.
