It has taken 28 chapters, but I've finally named the planet. Metropolis, Garbagopolis, Arboropolis and many as yet unnamed cities all inhabit the planet called...
JARSOOM!
Is that exciting or what? Trust me, the story is building to something.
But that's the point of episodic fiction like this. The story is always building to something. That's why I (and you if you are like me) read stuff like this and Flash Gordon and Prince Valiant. We want to see what happens next. And even as some action resolves it never does so without something new to draw us back in.
Do you listen to the old-time radio Superman shows? Yeah, me too. The last episode of every storyline would always have some seed of the next storyline to come. I'm so happy that we can still enjoy these old radio shows today through fansites on the internet and through podcasts. They are all out there waiting for you to enjoy them. Check them out: Dimension X, Suspense, Space Patrol, Superman, Flash Gordon, Our Miss Brooks and many more. They are lots of fun.
Max and I spend some time each week listening to the Old Time Radio Superman podcast by Adam Graham. Max is only two years old, but you can see it in his face. He's listening to the show as he plays with his train.
