About this listen

Hosts Taylor and Ivy welcome guest Tricia Thorm to discuss Grant Morrison’s All‑Star Superman (2007), a story about Superman learning he has only a year to live after overexposure to the sun.

The episode explores parallels between Superman and Christ, themes of mortality, mercy, legacy, and small acts of heroism, and how ordinary people step up when heroes fall.

Conversations touch on Lex Luthor’s rivalry, the emotional origins of the comic, and how hope and community continue Superman’s mission beyond his death.
