Issue 23: Catching up on “Crisis on Infinite Earths” (the DC/CW Shows), Alex Ross, and more!

“You have failed this universe.” – Oliver Queen

*Note: this episode was recorded back in early February, 2022!*

An extremely outdated episode where Chris and Erik catch up on what they’ve been reading, and speculate about things that are already out now, before talking about the DC / CW “Arrow-verse” shows: ‘The Flash’, ‘Supergirl’, ‘Arrow’, ‘Legends of Tomorrow’, ‘Batwoman’, etc – now that Erik’s finally caught up on the epic “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover! 

Also on this Episode: 

Next Time: The Marvel Netflix shows!
