For Tony’s Superhero Saturdays™, The Question is a perfect spotlight because his story speaks directly to a world drowning in noise, spin, propaganda, conspiracy, distraction and half-truths. He reminds us that truth still matters. Discernment still matters. Courage still matters. And sometimes the hero we need most is not the one who punches the hardest, but the one willing to ask what everybody else is afraid to say out loud.

Her name is Lois Lane. And on this Superman Day, as we celebrate 88 years since the debut of Superman, it is only right that we pause and recognize something that history often overlooks: Superman may be the world’s greatest hero… but Lois Lane is the reason his story matters.

Supergirl (1984) wasn’t just trying to follow in the footsteps of Superman: The Movie—it was trying to expand that world in a way that centered a different kind of hero. And while the execution didn’t land for everyone at the time, what the film attempted deserves far more credit than it has historically received.

Mark Waid and Alex Ross’s Kingdom Come (1996) is one of the rare graphic novels that transcends genre. It is a warning wrapped in beauty. A scripture of superheroes. A meditation on justice, mercy, pride, faith, and humanity’s never-ending war between hope and despair.
