Our first look at season two of My Adventures With Superman arrived this week as Adult Swim and DC Animation debuted the first trailer along with the premiere date. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the first look and details of the acclaimed show’s second season. Season one introduced us to younger versions of the Man of Steel and his two best friends Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen. It dealt with the real issue of where Superman fit in the world and how he was viewed. It also gave use new modern versions of classic villains such as Parasite, Silver Banshee and fan favorites Livewire and Mister Mxyzptlk.

Making their debut in the second season will be Lex Luthor, Brainiac, and the surprising addition of Superman’s Kryptonian cousin Supergirl. In addition to Lex and Brainiac, confirmed villains include The Atomic Skull and Deathstroke. The Kryptonian warrior who appeared at the end of the first season will also be back and I think it’s safe to say he will turn out to be General Zod. Will he be working with Brainac to rebuild the Kryptonian Empire? Season two looks like it’s going to be a very intriguing and fun season and will look to build off the successful season one.

The one hour premiere is May 25^th.

What is Secrets Of The Volkovs about?
Secrets Of The Volkovs is an action-packed thriller that follows Antonin, a police officer who’s been given a nearly impossible assignment. Antonin leaves his fiancé Nikolina and travels to a town far away from his own in an undercover capacity. He is tasked with infiltrating a crime family who the local police know are involved in some serious criminal activity. There’s only one problem; no one in town is willing to provide any information or come forward after being victimized because they are too scared. He must work with the family to discover their dark secrets. This dramatic plot is packed with twists and turns, and coupled with slightly sarcastic narration to keep the reader entertained the whole way through.

What inspired this story?
I’ve always wanted to be a writer, and in 2019 I was writing sarcastically narrated fan fiction. I got quite a lot of reviews, so I tried my hand at original fiction. Secrets Of The Volkovs is the prequel to my first original story, Family Secrets. It explores the origins of the tension in the second book. The plots for both stories developed more as I was writing. I always start with a loose idea and sort of ‘inspire myself’ as I go forward.

Tell us a little about you, who is Ellie Jay?
Ellie Jay is the pen name of a 20-odd British woman with a long standing love of reading, writing, and anything related to stories. As well as loving fiction, I have a penchant for sarcasm, absurdity and humour. When I’m not writing, I’m either teaching, playing Minecraft, or messing around on the internet, as one does.

How can we read Secrets Of The Volkovs?
Amazon is the easiest place to check this book out. It is available as a paperback, hardback, ebook, or audiobook, and can be bought with the rest of the series, or as a standalone adventure. You can also read my other content or connect with me by checking out my links.

Ariya Kai
by F.Z. Zach

“The story, or idea, had been floating around in my head for a while and it was time to put it to paper.
