    Half the podcast is commercials
    I loved the Stealing Superman story. I thought then that it was a little heavy in the commercials but it was worth it. I’m now listening to the Swordquest story and half the episodes are commercials. The episodes end with 7-8 minutes left. Those last minutes are commercials. The first 3-4 minutes are commercials, plus 2 commercial breaks during the episode. Makes it tough to want to listen to

    Engaging, even if you're not into comics (😳)
    Confession: I don't even like comics, couldn't care less about collecting them, but still got engaged in this podcast. The storytelling is a bit chaotic at times, but still engaging. I appreciated learning about elements of collecting, and art heists more generally. Don't pass this up just bc you don't care for superheroes.

    An excellent story

    Good Story, Horrible Narration
    The story was definitely intriguing but the narrator made it almost unlistenable. Her delivery was so grating - the slow, over pronunciation, enunciation, etc. A producer should’ve noticed it & rectified it prior to release, or re-recorded with another narrator.

    Nicolas cage as Superman finally
    Nic Cage finally got to play superman in the new Flash movie freaking awesome. Hope you make an episode on this

    Season 1 was great. Season 2 was unlistenable.
    The first season of this podcast was an enjoyable story that was well told. I would rate that season 4 to 5 stars. I was looking forward to the second season of his podcast. Unfortunately, as soon as the first episode of the second season started playing, I was disappointed. The first episode of season 2 was absolutely dreadful. And it only got worse from there.

    Wanted to like it but it meanders and the narrator is bad
    this podcast had a great topic but it sorta promises more than it delivers. No final answer about the theft and lots of side stories that just sorta obfuscate the fact that the ‘investigation’ kinda figured out not all that much . Narrator has an annoying quality - there’s an earnestness in her tone no matter whether describing something of no importance or of great importance.

    Very enjoyable!
    Had never heard the story of Nick Cage’s stolen Action #1 and other comics, so this was some great story-telling on that plus other interesting stories related to Superman in general.

    Not your typical podcast
    Absolutely loved this unique and winding story. Dana has a great narrative style.

    My Kryptonite cap!
    Love the show! I was positive that the host was Paget Brewster from Criminal Minds. She sounds identical to her!
  • DustyGibbs84
    Great except for one minor detail
    Episode 6 has Joe Shuster dying in 1922 when it was actually 1992

    Starts off strong
    This podcast hooked me from the first episode. It is well made and researched. I dropped two stars because the last couple of episodes have gone off on tangents unrelated to the main question of what happened to the comics. It feels a bit frustrating since the reason why I’m listening is to see more clues to the crime but instead entire episodes are devoted to what feels like it should be a different podcast. Unsure of whether it will get back on track or I should stop listening…. Are we going to try to find the thief…?

    Stop with the sound effects
    Enjoy Dana’s Noble Blood podcast, she does a great job. The cheesy gasp takes and foley stuff take me out of an otherwise interesting story. Don’t need a screaming impression of Nic Cage every time they describe him discovering the comics are gone

    Don’t get your hopes too high
    Basically lost interest halfway through Episode 5…

    Stealing Superman
    I ordinarily don’t rate podcasts, particularly if they’re not very good. However, I’m trying to save listeners the time. I made it through four episodes. I really regret it, because there’s so much good to listen to out there. Episode two is the only one that deals with the subject matter as described by the host. The rest, is simply filler. Episode one is egregiously bad. But I gave the podcast a bit more of a shot. Episode two is very good. Episode three is filler and episode four is mindless. I’m just trying to save you some time. If you disagree and you enjoy it more power to you.
  • Red State Guy
    False advertising!
    For all appearances this is a mystery in three parts. Cool. But upon concluding the third episode we are told the answer to the main heist will be in the next or FOURTH episode What’s wrong with that? There are only three episodes. That’s it! Done, kaput, over. What I signed up for was a three episode presentation NOT THREE QUARTERS OF A STORY! C’mon man!
  • nashlaw
    Interesting, but…
    It’s her delivery. I’m so distracted. Who talks like that? It’s her cadence.
  • Gavinator Hawkenstein
    So incredibly interesting!!!
    This is fantastic
  • SohamaGumay
    Not what it seems to be
    There is far more to this story than what is being told here.

    Stealing Superman
    This is excellent, bewildering and engrossing! You couldn’t write this stuff, but someone should. Yes, this has to be made into a movie, with Nic Cage playing himself. Loving it!
