DCOCD is the DC Comics EVENT PODCAST where we discuss, contextualise and rank every single DC event in order starting with 1985's Crisis on Infinite Earths up to... we're not sure yet.

Its 2013 and the DC Universe has gone mouldy and rotten. Can edgy heroes Animal Man and Swamp Thing save everyone from ROTWORLD? We sure hope so otherwise the podcast ends here.

This event is brought to us by some powerhouse creators Scott Snyder, Jeff Lemire, Matt Kindt, Steve Pugh, Yanick Paquette, Marco Rudy, Timothy Green II, Alberto Ponticelli, Wayne Faucher, Daniel Green, Andy Owens, Joseph Silver, Andrew Bellanger, Pat Brousseau, Karl Kerschl, Jared K Fletcher, Travis Lanham, Carlos Mangul, Dezi Sienty, Lovern Kindzierski, Val Staples, Nathan Fairbairn, Tony Avina, Lee Loughridge, John Kalisz, Jose Villarrubia, Joey Cavalieri and Matt Idelson..

Paul and Mike are joined by Ryan Daly because he’s a fun guy (hmm that joke was funnier before I typed it). How will they rate ROTWORLD? Tune in and find out!
