World will live! Worlds will die! And the podcast will never be the same again! Okay, it’ll be fine, but we’re still diving deep into some Crisis Management with this one. Kevin Miller, author of Two Morrow’s The Crisis Companion joins Ian, Murd and Brandon this episode, going into our combined Crisis histories, the mounds of research Kevin achieved to create the Companion (including interviews with a bunch of those involved at DC and Crisis itself), what made Crisis work better than other similar attempts at continuity resets, how close we may have come to Marvel publishing DC instead of what we got (and here’s the link to the Jim Shooter biographical interviews we mentioned),the joy that is Silver-Age sillyness, where DC is now in the Waid era, quoting and referencing pages from Murd’s Crisis thesis, some of our favorite Crisis moments, the wonder that is George Perez’s artwork, what we can do to build the comic book industry forward for further generations, how DC should utilize the word Crisis in their crossovers moving forward, that time Kevin was on Smallville, and so much more!
And here’s the video version:
