FIREBIRD! - My Adventures with Superman Premiere review ft Yo A Nerd!
We're BACK!
After a hiatus, The Blerd Sensei Podcast has returned with a review of Adult Swim's new Superman cartoon series, "My Adventures with Superman." Yo A Nerd's host and creator of Six Fifteen Comics, Malcolm (@justicethegenius) joins our class as we discuss this new direction for Superman animation and how it compares to his past cartoon series iterations (Superman the Animated Series & Legion of Superheroes).
As a Comic Creator and rampant comic book consumer, Malcolm brings his vast knowledge of the DC mythos alongside his childhood cartoon nostalgia to bring a unique perspective on this incredible new series.
