Comic Geek Speak Presents: The Crisis Tapes

Love this podcast but it would be sort of embarrassing for it die out before you ever even GET to the main event. 8 episodes over the course of about 3 years isn't a great indicator for the future, unfortunately.

Murd, soldiering on in the indefinite absence of Peter Rios, has reignited the fires of this great show and I, for one, am thankful. Having this podcast available was what finally made me break down and read Crisis, which was a book I was always interested in but also was intimidated by. In particular, the episodes "Crisis" and "On Infinite Earths" are essential for understanding not only the meaning of the term Crisis as it pertains to DC universe, but the topographical layout of the Multiverse which the Crisis affects so greatly. The invaluable resource that Adam and Peter have created here is a gift for all fans, current and future, of the story that reshaped DC forever.

Too much time in between episodes. I can't wait for the next one to come out. I'm actually hoping they continue through every DC crisis. I'll listen to them all.

One of the defining moments in comics history, and - despite recent storylines - a game-changer for the DC universe. Crisis on Infinite Earths touched every facet of the DC universe, and the ramifications were meaningful to iconic characters such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash. With the breadth of characters and the lost of context owing to its original publication over twenty-five years ago, Crisis can be a difficult book to wrap one's head around. Thankfully, Peter Rios and Adam Murdough bring their wealth of comic book knowledge and love of the medium to this important work affording listeners the opportunity to understand Crisis - both the story and its importance in the medium. The initial episodes have encompassed the themes and backstory of Crisis, giving proper context to the story from Marv Wolfman and George Perez. The discussion between Peter and Murd is always fun and always enlightening. It's like listening in on those conversations you used to have at the comic shop (or at least, like the ones I used to listen in on and participate with back in the day). If you love Crisis on Infinite Earths, want to get into this book and don't know where to start, or just love comics history, this is the podcast for you. check it out!
