Number 1: Kevin Miller | The Crisis Companion
Forty years after Crisis on Infinite Earths reshaped DC Comics, its impact can still be felt across superhero storytelling today. On this episode, author and filmmaker Kevin Miller joins the Bandits to discuss his new TwoMorrows book, The Crisis Companion: From Flash of Two Worlds to Infinite Earths and Beyond, an exhaustive exploration of the landmark series and the decades of DC history that led to it. Kevin talks about tracing the evolution of the Multiverse from Flash of Two Worlds and the classic Justice League/Justice Society crossovers through Crisis, conducting new interviews with creators including Marv Wolfman, Paul Levitz, Jerry Ordway, Roy Thomas, Dan Jurgens, and others, and examining the event issue by issue. Along the way, he explores why Crisis became such a defining moment, how it changed the way comics approach continuity, reboots, and event storytelling, and why we’re still talking about its consequences four decades later. The Crisis Companion is published by TwoMorrows and is arrives in comic shops this week! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Number 2: Michael Uslan, Jack C. Harris, Paul Levitz, Bob Rozakis, Anthony Tollin, and Steve Mitchell | Junior Woodchucks Reunion
Before they became writers, editors, historians, filmmakers, and some of the most familiar names in comics, they were DC’s Junior Woodchucks. On this very special episode, Michael Uslan, Jack C. Harris, Paul Levitz, Bob Rozakis, Anthony Tollin, and Steve Mitchell reunite to look back at their early days as young fans working behind the scenes at DC Comics during the 1970s. More than 50 years later, the Woodchucks reflect on the friendships they formed, the remarkable careers that followed, and what it was like to have a front-row seat to one of the most memorable eras in DC history.

Number 3: Heidi MacDonald (The Beat)
Few people have chronicled the modern comics industry as closely—or for as long—as Heidi MacDonald. On this episode, the longtime journalist, editor, and founder and editor-in-chief of The Beat joins the Bandits for a wide-ranging conversation about her career and the ever-changing world of comics. Heidi reflects on launching The Beat in 2004, her earlier work as an editor at Disney and DC/Vertigo, and how comics journalism has evolved alongside the industry itself. The conversation also explores the state of comics today, the challenges facing publishers, retailers, creators, and journalists, and how fandom and the business have transformed over the decades. Along the way, Heidi shares insights gained from a career spent not just reporting on comics, but helping document an extraordinary period of change for the medium.

Number 4: Don Chin | Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters 40th Anniversary
Forty years ago, four martial-arts-trained rodents crashed the comics scene and helped kick off one of the strangest crazes of the 1980s. On this episode, creator Don Chin joins the Bandits to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters, the 1986 series that began as a parody of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and quickly took on a life of its own. Don looks back at creating Bruce, Chuck, Clint, and Jackie during the height of the black-and-white comics boom, the unexpected success of the series, and working with artists including Parsonavich and a young Sam Kieth. The conversation also explores the anything-goes world of independent comics in the ’80s, the Hamsters’ enduring cult following, and what it’s like to see this gloriously offbeat creation being celebrated four decades later with new 40th-anniversary collections from Dynamite.
