Episode 2 - Action Comics #1: Superman, Champion of the Oppressed!

EPISODE 2: ACTION COMICS #1 Connor-El and Rey-Zod return to traverse the many corners of Superman's origins to shed some light into how the favourite son of Krypton came to be the superhero he is today! The alien duo also look at the milestone comic, Action Comics #1 which not only heralded in the Man in Red & Blue, but was a watershed in the development of comics and superheroes in general. It all starts here - and you get to hear it from both a Super Fan (Connor-El) and a genuine, bonafide newbie (Rey-Zod)... it doesn't get much better than this!
