Host Anthony Desiato and guest Javi Trujillo (The Comic Binge) dig into Lois & Clark's apparent marital troubles during the Loeb/Kelly era of the Superman titles. They discuss Clark's difficult home life, a mature and realistic take on Ma & Pa, that Parasite reveal, Superman's desperate search for Lois, and the "Critical Condition" arc — in which the miniaturized Superman Family enters Superman's body to save him from Kryptonite poisoning.
