    Tape #17: Crisis on Infinite Earths #4

    The Seventeenth Tape: DC Dave and Doug Adamson discuss Crisis on Infinite Earths #4 with special guest Mike Atchison from Mike’s Comic Shop Roadshow. The Monitor is dead. Earth-1 and Earth-2 are consumed by the anti-matter wave. And for the first time in Crisis on Infinite Earths, the stakes truly feel impossible. Dave, Doug, and Mike dive deep into one of the defining issues of the entire maxiseries — from the emotional rooftop conversation between Supergirl and Batgirl, to the destruction of Earth-6, the debut of the new Doctor Light, the shocking murder of The Monitor, and why this issue changes the scale of Crisis forever.

    Promo - The Sound of Bricks

    From the minds behind The Monitor Tapes, the Brick Crisis Network proudly presents a bold new audio experience… The Sound of Bricks Each month, Doug and DC Dave dive deep into the history of building bricks—examining their design, their legacy… and most importantly, their pain profile. In this debut episode, Doug bravely (and unwillingly) tests a 1x1 brick from the 1966 Batcave set under controlled conditions: hardwood floor, socked foot, and a 20-centimeter drop. What follows is a groundbreaking exploration of physics, regret, and the limits of human tolerance. 🎧 Featuring: Historical brick analysis Controlled impact testing Real-time pain reactions An alarming number of bleeps The Sound of Bricks — a Brick Crisis Network original. This is an April Fools special. No hosts were permanently harmed… probably.
