As long-promised for our 52nd episode! -- What's a "Crisis"? What's a "multiverse"? What's a "52"? These words get thrown around a lot in DC Comics, as well as in off-page discussions of their lore, continuity, and publishing history. In this episode we'll attempt to give a basic Crisis 101 overview for the total newcomer, discussing the 1985 continuity-streamlining event "Crisis on Infinite Earths", and its 2005-06 sequels "Infinite Crisis" and "52"!

Mike LOVES these stories, but -- unlike most things covered on The Very Fine Comic Book Podcast -- these are not recommended as "casual reading"! [Moreso just covered here as a basic primer of some terminology, history, and editorial decisions that are impossible to avoid when discussing DC Comics' often-complicated legacy.]
