What’s YOUR take on John Byrne’s Man of Steel era? Did it (A) modernize Superman in a needed way or (B) unnecessarily jettison too much of the mythology? Or a bit of both? And which changes worked best/worst? Make sure you’re subbed to DFK so you don’t miss “Byrned” next month!

As discussed, this is the issue of Amazing Heroes that covered the then-forthcoming Man of Steel miniseries by Byrne. It was a wonderful resource & time capsule and definitely gave me new insight. Anyone else remember this magazine generally or this issue specifically?
