For this special episode, we give some backstory on some tropes, terms, and nonsense words we use all the time. If you've never read comic books before or want a sample of what kind of show we are. Here's the best place to start! Welcome to our "Introduction to Comic Terms." Check out the rest of our episodes at www.comraderadio.com

We're in the weeds now, y'all. What we countdowned to last time has arrived. Infinite Crisis! We're talking about the most "important" modern DC event. Is it worth the hype? Does it CHANGE EVERYTHING FOREVER?



Read along: Infinite Crisis by Geoff Johns, Phil Jimenez, George Perez, and Jerry Ordway



On this episode, Phil tries his best to learn about the Speed Force, Sly loves Jaime Reyes but never wants to talk about him again, Ryan spills the beans on who lost their virginity in Ma & Pa Kent's barn, and Darryl learns the two most beautiful words in the English language: Psycho Pirate.

Issue 92: Infinite Crisis – Infinite Continuity Headaches

On this episode, the gang takes a patreon request and covers one of their first indie books, Kaijumax by Zander Cannon and published by Oni Press -  a gruesome tale of giant monsters in a maximum security prison. Asking the tough questions, like what if we treated giant monsters as badly as we currently treat actual human beings? And what if it was cute to look at?



Read Along: Kaijumax Volume One



Darryl remains in shock at the events in this book, Sly has NO SYMPATHY for one-note debtors, and Ryan really hates the prison system (both real and imaginary) and Phil just wants to watch Pacific Rim again.

Issue 87: Kaijumax – Biting Satire Or Something Much Less?

Note: An Earlier version of this episode with a missing ending was uploaded previously. This is the fixed one!



On this episode, we revisit Captain Marvel, but only just barely since he isn't called that anymore! Just in time for Shazam! We cover the story that we're pretty sure the movie's based on, his retold origins from the DC reboot.



Read Along: Shazam By Geoff Johns and Gary Frank




 Phil's had enough of troubled kids with a heart of gold, Darryl knows who the REAL Santa is, Ryan has more knowledge about tigers in business suits than one might think, and Sly's argues that Superman's outlook is for babies and Black Adam's is for big boys.

Issue 86: Shazam! DC’s Captain Marvel Gets A Reboot!

On this very special episode, technical difficulties pushed our Annual Extravaganza back two weeks and Ryan, Sly, and Darryl get together to talk about the MCU. What makes it a success, what we're worried about for the future, how excited we are for Captain Marvel and much more!
