From Reeves to Reeves and from Cain to Routh, Superman has always been the ‘problem’ superhero. With Christopher Nolan on board for the latest big screen adaptation – Man of Steel is already taken in more at the box office in Ireland than any other film this year, but the question remains – is it any good? We enlisted the help of Charlene Lydon – film programmer for the Lighthouse Cinema and Chelsea Morgan Hoffman from Element Pictures for a round table review of Man of Steel.

Stracynski/Joe & Andy Kubert), Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre (Darwyn Cooke/Amanda Conner/Amanada Conner), Before Watchmen: Comedian (Brian Azzerello/J.G.

We’re just gonna come right out and say this. We liked Prometheus. Seriously. We did. And on this weeks episode of The Comic Cast we explain why. Not only that, but Thunderbolts / Northlanders artist Declan Shalvey joins us to say why he DIDN’T like it. In comics, we review a whole host of new Irish comic books including Where’s Larry by Philip Barrett, Destination Homicide by Alan Nolan, League of Volunteers: Black Scorpion by Rob Curley and Stephen Downey, Holy Numbers by Tommie Kelly and Two Lives by John Connor and Una Gallagher. We also give our candid thoughts on Before Watchmen by Darwyn Cooke. It’s a belter of a show! Enjoy!
