Digging for Kryptonite Special: How the Arrowverse Failed the Clark Kent of Smallville

Host Anthony Desiato offers a special presentation of his Superman podcast series DIGGING FOR KRYPTONITE, currently available on all major podcast platforms. In this episode, Anthony and fellow AR alum Mike Sangregorio debate whether television's "Crisis on Infinite Earths" Arrowverse crossover gave Tom Welling's Clark Kent (SMALLVILLE) a fitting end or betrayed the character's original journey.

About the Podcast

My Comic Shop History

A Podcast from the Director of My Comic Shop Country

My Comic Shop History is a podcast hosted by filmmaker Anthony Desiato (My Comic Shop DocumentARy, My Comic Shop Country) exploring the culture, business, and fandom of the comics retail industry. In Season 1, New York's Alternate Realities closed after 23 years in operation, a community united to say farewell, and a podcast was born. The series continued with deep dives into collecting (Season 2), national comics retail (Season 3), conventions (Season 4), and Westchester County's lost shops (Season 5). In 2021, "The LongAR Halloween" reunited the Alternate Realities gang in a yearlong, holiday-themed series. In 2022, My Comic Shop History presented a pair of multi-part events showcasing Fat Moose Comics ("Oldest in New Jersey") and Acme Comics ("The Once and Future Lord Retail"). Now, in 2023, the podcast signs off with a quarterly farewell event, "For All Seasons," which considers the legacy of Alternate Realities almost a decade after its closing.
