Superman writer Chris Roberson stops by for the fourth–count ’em, fourth–time this week to celebrate a special holiday with us: Miracle Monday! While he’s at it, he also talks with us about his writing process, juggling multiple projects, his favorite moment in the first Superman movie, what DC had to change about Superman #711, his eventful dinner with Michael Moorcock, and much more! Plus, we highlight our second hater in a row, and gush about how much we liked Thor!

This episode was so bizarre! I love it.
roberson is awesome

I always enjoy hearing Chris Roberson talk about Superman. It’s very evident that he has a ton of love and enthusiasm for the character, and that’s a nice thing to see in creative professionals.
