The DC3cast!

The boys plow ahead with their 'Crisis Management' series, tackling John Byrne and Ron Wagner. Topics discussed include: the Ravers getting left for dead, phasing atom bombs through one's butt, and just how little happens in this four issue miniseries.

Our friend/Robots from Tomorrow cohost Greg Matiasevich joins the show to discuss Karl Kesel and Stuart Immonen's "The Final Night." Topics discussed include: 90s costumes rendered beautifully, a villain-less event, and the majesty of the original Kyle Rayner run.

The boys revisits an event with a lot of connections to the recent 'Year of the Villain' at DC - "Underworld Unleashed!" Mark Waid and Howard Porter bring us into Hell, give us a compelling Captain Marvel story, and hinge a big piece of plot on landing 'meaty, leading rolls.'

Last week, Brian got on the phone with Scott Snyder to discuss the upcoming first issue of "Dark Nights: Death Metal," his most recent collaboration with Greg Capullo. Hear about Sgt. Rock, a T-Rex Batman, and so much more.

The boys dig into the book that inspired the expanded 'Crisis Management' series, "Zero Hour!" They look back on the series which launched a lot of great comics, but suffers from a lot of nothing happening and weird decisions. Come for Parallax, stay for three versions of the same Legion of Super-Heroes character!

For the bonus episode for May, we take a look at the first three chapters of DC's new Digital First offerings. Topics discussed include: weirdly conflating Batman with the military, a good new Flash villain, and the generally dull offerings from this line.

This week, the boys dig into 'Trinity.' No, not the Matt Wagner prestige miniseries. And, no, we don't mean the weekly series from 2008. Despite what you may have heard us rave about after one issue, we also aren't covering the 'Rebirth' series. Nope, we are talking about the crossover between "Green Lantern," "Darkstars," and "L.E.G.I.O.N. '93" that brought DC's cosmic books together.

The boys dig deep into 'War of the Gods,' one of the best crossovers in DC's history. Topics discussed include: George Pérez's stellar "Wonder Woman" run, the seemingly endless deities in the DC Universe, that weird time when Power Girl was Atlantean, and Steve Trevor's other love.

"Armageddon 2001" starts off incredibly strong, before going impossibly off the rails. Topics discussed include: 900 numbers, Mallrats and superhero sex, the most insufferable version of Wally West, good Jurgens art, a dystopian future replete with floppy disks, and lots more. 

1988's second DC event is about as far, tonally, from the first as possible. "Invasion" is a cosmic adventure from Keith Giffen, Bill Mantlo, and [checks notes] Todd McFarlane, and it does a lot of really interesting things. Plus, an error-filled discussion about the Darkstars!

Back in January, we covered "Cosmic Odyssey" as a sort of proto-episode of 'Crisis Management.' Because "Cosmic Odyssey" would be the next book in our major event list, we are rebroadcasting that episode today. We'll be back with a new episode on Wednesday, covering "Invasion." Original description: This week, we felt there weren't too many interesting aspects of the books released. So, Vince sugg...

This week, the boys tackle 1988's "Millennium," which is one of the weirder events that we've read in our many, many years of comic book fandom. Topics discussed include: Jeff Dunham, the Konami Code, attrition in New Guardians, and the bizarre, and sad, fates of literally everyone in Smallville.

Vince is under the weather, so Zach and Brian asked for questions on our new Twitter account, @dc3cast. We received a ton of really fun questions, including thoughts on Jack Kirby, new Justice League teams, Taco Bell, and Austin Powers. Excited? Yeah, baby.

This week, our new format debuts in earnest, with a look back at "Legends," the 1986 event that launched the "Bwahahaha"era of "Justice League." The first major event after "Crisis on Infinite Earths," the event was really interestingly structured and led to a lot of really good tie-ins. 

On this week's show, the boys announce a format change (for now), look at the "Robin 80th Anniversary 100 Page Super Spectacular," and check in on Rob Venditti's "Justice League."

Join the boys as they journey through the first of DC's seven 'official' Crises, as they tackle Marv Wolfman and George Pérez's "Crisis on Infinite Earths." Come for the nearly 2 hours of discussion, stay for the Jeb Bush jokes.

This week, the boys celebrate 750 issues of "The Flash," especially digging into the Geoff Johns and Joshua Williamson-penned stories. They also look at the latest Brian Bendis Super-anthology, which improves on the prior installment. 

The gang is back together to discuss the ousting of Dan DiDio from DC's hallowed halls, as well as review Amy Reeder's first issue of "Amethyst" and more.

On the show this week, Multiversity writer Alexander Jones joins the show to discuss the birth of the Aquababy, check in on "Teen Titans," and, of course, more 5G talk.

This week, Manga Club's Walter sits in for Manga Club's Zach, we discuss the various generations laid out in DC's upcoming series of one-shots, and debate whether time has passed the classic Harley Quinn creative team by.

On this week's show, the boys speculate about the "Generation Zero" Free Comic Book Day issue and what it means for '5G' and beyond. Plus, they discuss the first Robert Venditti/Doug Mahnke "Justice League" issue and the annual Valentine's Day-ish anthology.

On this week's show, the boys discuss the finale of "Green Lantern: Blackstars," lament some truly atrocious art in a Super book, and catch up on "The Terrifics."

This week, the boys celebrate Brian Bendis's "Superman," contemplate the future of "Shazam," and are back on their very specific bullshit.

This week, the boys are underwhelmed by just about everything, save "The Flash," and we speculate on what 5G really is going to mean for the DC Universe.

This week, "Daphne Byrne" doesn't do anything for the hosts, we check in on 'The Infected' storyline, and we debate how long "Young Justice" will last.
