The Monitor Tapes: A Crisis on Infinite Earths Podcast

The Monitor Tapes: A Crisis on Infinite Earths Podcast Hosted By DC Dave & Doug Adamson Worlds would live…worlds would die. And the DC Universe would never be the same again. Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC Comics’ seminal event from 1985. The impact is still felt over 40 years later. Join your hosts DC Dave and Doug Adamson – along with a rotating bevy of guest hosts – as we discuss the Crisis throughout the years. From long-lasting impacts, to “what we would have done differently,” to breakdowns of individual stories, our hosts will discuss the Crisis in a new, refreshing way. Not an index show, not a panel-by-panel discussion, but a personal examination of this legendary comic book story. Beginning in late January 2025. https://www.themonitortapes.com
