NEW 52 & REBIRTH Supergirl — ZOR-EL as Cyborg Superman

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Adam Daltorio dig into Zor-El's reinvention as Cyborg Superman during Supergirl's New 52 and Rebirth comic book eras. They discuss Kara's overall arc across her New 52 title — beginning with the initial run by Michael Green, Mike Johnson, & Mahmud Asrar that underscored Kara's disorientation & language barrier — before spotlighting later issues by Michael Alan Nelson & Diogenes Neves, which saw Zor-El reborn as an amnesiac puppet of Brainiac. Then, they segue into the first arc of the Rebirth series — "Reign of the Cyborg Superman" by Steve Orlando & Brian Ching — featuring Zor-El's plot to resurrect Argo City at Earth's expense.
