It is all about the firsts. This is the first episode of 3rd Degree Byrne for 2017. And Tim Elliott and Brian Hughes want to bring you a year of firsts. So, every episode of 3rd Degree Byrne proper (throwing in the “proper” there allows us to have those side episodes that break the theme if need be.) that we put out will be a “first” of sorts. Most will be obvious what kind of first they are, while others, not so much.


Our latest episode is about the first issue of John Byrnes Superman series. Superman, Volume 2, Number 1. There are a number of firsts here as well:


The first Byrne/Austin pairing at DC!


The first Post-Crisis appearance of Metallo!


The first “date” between Lois and Clark!


The first post-crisis appearance of Lex Luthors bald head!


And the first post-crisis use of the term “Kryptonite”.




Yes, there are a lot of firsts here. So the question is: Who is going to be the first Byrneout to provide us feedback?
