Celebrating Superman with Mark Waid

Missing Frames: Catching up with Cinema

To celebrate the release of James Gunn's SUPERMAN on July 11th, Shawn is kicking off a new podcasting project under the Missing Frames: Between Takes umbrella: CELEBRATING SUPERMAN. In the weeks and months leading up to the film's release, Shawn will be interviewing Superman writers, artists, filmmakers, artists, fans, etc. to celebrate the greatest superhero of all time.
The first guest of this Celebrating Superman series is none other than legendary comic book writer MARK WAID. In the course of his incredible career, Mark has written over 2,000 comics, including one of Shawn's absolute favorite Superman stories: SUPERMAN: BIRTHRIGHT. During the conversation, Shawn and Mark discuss how Mark became a Superman fan, the DC editor who disliked Birthright so much he decided it was no longer the canonical Superman origin story, and the moment in the new trailer that made them both cry. They also discuss Mark's projects, both old and new, including Shawn's love for his WORLD'S FINEST fun and an update on THE LAST DAYS OF LEX LUTHOR.
