Links mentioned in the episode:
– Jeffrey mentioned “Exile” as one of his favorite Superman storylines. He and Michael Bailey covered this in episodes 38 to 43 of From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast.
– Jeffrey also lists SUPERMAN: SECRET IDENTITY as another favorite. It hasn’t been covered on From Crisis to Crisis (yet), but gets the highest endorsement from this show’s host, as well. So read it now and be prepared for when they do.
