Welcome to the second episode of the CRISIS ON MULTIPLE EARTHS PODCAST, a show dedicated to covering the stories chronicling the adventures and team-ups of the Justice Society of America of Earth-2 and their Earth-1 counterparts the Justice League of America. Each episode will be devoted to a single issue of one of these Crisis crossovers, so join me, your host Kyle Benning, as I chronologically work through the 8 volumes of Crisis on Multiple Earths and Crisis on Multiple Earth Team-Ups TPBs.  This time out I once again dive into the Crisis on Multiple Earths Volume 1 TPB to examine the second meeting of the Flash of Earth-1 Barry Allen and the Flash of Earth-2 Jay Garrick, as told in the story from Flash #129, titled "Double Danger on Earth." The issue originally went on sale April 19th 1962 and was written by Gardner Fox, penciled by Carmine Infantino, and inked by Joe Giella. You can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes & Stitcher under the KSCGSF Podcast Feed.  During the episode I read feedback from 4 listeners and mention their fine online blog & podcasting efforts. Please check out their respective blogs & podcasts at the below links. Chris Franklin of the Super Mates Podcast and the Power Records Podcast located on the Fire & Water Podcast Feed Professor Alan Middleton of the Relatively Geeky Podcast Network. Tim Wallace of the Kord Industries Blue Beetle Blog and Legion of Super-Bloggers And Van Zee, who posts a ton of great JSA related content on the Tales of the JSA Facebook Page Feedback for the podcast can be left here at the blog, on iTunes via an iTunes review, emailed to me at my email address kylebenning41@yahoo.com, or on the King-Size Comics Giant-Size Fun Facebook page.

For an occasion where Earths 1 and 2 collide to combat possessing space spheres, the Justice League and Justice Society unite for battle!  For an occasion when Robin of Earth 2 joins the JSA, and debuts his... questionable... "big boy" hero costume, I have united with Chris Franklin of "Super-Mates", "Knightcast" and "Power Records Podcast"... all to be found at http://fireandwaterpodcast.com/!  Chris graciously donated his time... and recording prowess... to talk about another back-door pilot for the JSA, as they battle some truly ridiculous villains, battle the JLA, and endure a TERRIBLE story conclusion which involves Johnny Thunder!  (As if anything good could ever come from that jerk...)  Should you wish to express joy, or sorrow, for this special crossover event, you can either leave me an email at justicesfirstdawning@gmail.com, or just leave me a comment on the Podbean page!  My personal thanks to Chris Franklin for helping a brother out, and thanks to you for listening!

First up is Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21. Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson struggle with doubt in the days leading up to their wedding. But is it more than just cold feet? Will they make it to the altar (or the courthouse steps, at least)? And whose idea was this, anyway? What corporate synergy has brought together, let Mephisto not put asunder! Then we step back in time…and to Earth-Two in Action Comics #484! Superman is vanquished by the evil Wizard, so a new hero must rise to fill the void! That hero is…Clark Kent?!? How do these events lead to his marriage to Lois Lane? The first couple of comics get married again, this time in the Post-Crisis DCU, in Superman: The Wedding Album. A media tie-in, a gaggle of scheming creators, and even death couldn't keep them apart, so the happy day finally arrives! It takes an army of Superman creators past and present to tell the tale of how a nearly 60-year old love triangle finally made it to happily ever after. What did Chris and Cindy think of these tales? Were they convincing? Did they feel the love? Do these characters even belong together? Listen on! Download via iTunes. Be sure to let us know what you think! Let your voice be heard!

Oh wait…you can! Then it's off to The Super Dictionary from 1978. This strange DC Comics experiment has some very…interesting illustrations and text used to define some rather innocuous words.

Superman: The Dawn of Justice.

Robin uses his detective skills to finally solve the mysteries of Wonder Girl's buried past.

Chris and Cindy squeeze a volcano and end up in a parallel world! Okay, they don't do that, but Superman does, in the classic World's Greatest Super Friends episode, “Universe of Evil”! Our Man of Steel must contend with some devil-worshipping Super Enemies, while his evil counterpart makes mincemeat out of our Super Friends. It's childlike, nonsensical awesomeness! Then the Super Mates get a little more serious and review the even more classic Justice League episodes, “A Better World, Parts 1 and 2”. Superman murders President Luthor? The Justice League takes over the world? Not quite, but the Justice Lords do, and they want to spread their order to our world (or the Justice League's anyway). It's the “evil universe” trope colored in very thought-provoking shades of gray! Plus, has an evil twin invaded Super Mates HQ (in other words, our house)?

In this episode, Chris and Cindy Franklin share two of their favorite comic book mini-series; The Untold Legend of the Batman by Len Wein, John Byrne and Jim Aparo, and The Legend of Wonder Woman by Kurt Busiek and Trina Robbins. Batman is targeted for destruction by a foe who knows his every secret! The Darknight Detective must reexamine his own history to discover the shocking identity of this merciless tormentor before it is too late! Listen as Chris and Cindy wade through flashbacks filled with Silver Age retcons, and question how long it takes to build a Batmobile! Plus, how does this thing REALLY end, anyway? It's apparently open for debate…and they have one! Then, on to Paradise Island, where Queen Hippolyta mourns the loss of her daughter in the Crisis on Infinite Earths. She gazes back through time to witness Wonder Woman's battle with the evil Atomia and her subatomic world! Our hosts delight at Robbins' great Golden Age-inspired artwork, but bemoan the presence of the most irritating brat ever to grace the comic page…SUZIE!!! So slide down the Batpole, hop in the Invisible Plane, and join us for a nostalgic trip, deep in the recesses of long boxes everywhere! Subscribe via iTunes Be sure to let us know what you think!

Chris and Cindy Franklin dig deeper into their 80s toy box! Chris waxes poetically about his love for the be-all-end-all of DC toy lines, Kenner's Super Powers Collection. Oh, yeah, he also mentions its “pretty-in-its-own-way” cousin, Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars. Cindy talks about My Buddy, and of course the conversation must touch upon his demon-spawn, Chucky! But there's more! You'll get fond childhood memories of Care Bears, Transformers, and My Little Pony along the way. Chris laments how M.A.S.K. went Nascar, and Cindy says some truly, truly outrageous things about Jem! This episode has more 80s goodness than a Trapperkeeper stuffed with a Flock of Seagulls!

Journey with Chris and Cindy Franklin back to the decade of excess…excessively cool toys that is! But first the happy couple does their geeky duty and Rap About Cap…Captain America: The Winter Soldier film! In this spoiler-free mini-review, both gush about how they love Chris Evans (for totally different reasons) and why you should run out to a theater and see this movie…after you listen to this episode of course! Then on to the toys! From roided-up barbarians to fruit-scented dolls, it's Part 1 of our 80s toy retrospective as Chris and Cindy recall childhood adventures with the Masters of the Universe, Barbie, Strawberry Shortcake, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, Cabbage Patch Kids and more! How did Cindy's mom manage to get a Cabbage Patch doll in 1983, and not get mobbed? What horrible fate befell Duke from G.I. Joe?

Space…the Final Frontier…for geekery! Join Chris and Cindy as the beam into the 23rd century! First they explore the strange new world known as the Lexington Comic Con, where they meet none other than Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner! The Captain is commanding a much smaller vehicle these days! As we travel at warp speed, the Franklins discuss how they got into Star Trek, and of course debate which version of Trek is best (like there is any real debate?). Then it's on to our Prime Directive, commentary on the classic Star Trek Season 3 episode “All Our Yesterdays”. Kirk's loins get him into trouble once again, and Spock and McCoy blindly follow him into danger. While trapped in a dying planet's frozen past, Spock goes out of his Vulcan mind, and finds love with the time-tossed (and of course, scantily-clad) Zarabeth…while Bones becomes a true Spock-Blocker! We wrap things ups with our resident librarian Cindy giving you a Captain's Log on two follow-ups to this classic episode, the Trek novels “Yesterday's Son” and “Time for Yesterday”.

Just in time for the release of CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER comes this bonus episode of THE POWER RECORDS PODCAST, where Rob and Chris talk about the Captain America and Falcon audio adventure "And A Phoenix Shall Arise!"

It's Bat-Mania! We begin with the first installment of “Super Mates Theater”. Robin is late to school! How's a Batman going to get him there on time? Take the Tumbler! Then on to our feature, audio commentary on two key episodes of Batman: The Animated Series! A name from the past splits the Dynamic Duo, as Batman sidelines his trusted partner, leading both to recall the events that brought them together years ago. Watch along with Chris and Cindy Franklin as they give you their take on the classic 1st season episode “Robin's Reckoning, Part 1”. Then we jump forward to the second version of BTAS, with The New Batman Adventures episode, “Legends of the Dark Knight”. Three young kids have three very different ideas of who and what The Batman is, and two of them happen to match some of the most famous versions from the character's comic history! Listen to the geekout as Chris gushes over his love of Bill Finger and Dick Sprang, and Cindy roots for Frank Miller's Carrie Kelly Robin! That's more Caped Crusader than you can shake a Batarang at! So join us as we explore the shadowy alleys and rain-soaked rooftops of Gotham City, or actually SEVERAL versions of Gotham City! Subscribe via iTunes! Be sure to let us know what you think!

Valentine's Day may be over, but the love-in continues! Join Chris and Cindy as they tackle the loves and losses of comicdom's most famous red and blue heroes! Yes, it's DC and Marvel's flagship characters, Superman and Spider-Man! Follow Spidey and his bride-to-be-and-yet-never-was Mary Jane from that first famous door knock, to the deal with the devil that undid it all. Then stop by Metropolis to visit comics' first couple, Lois and Clark, who finally made good on 50 years of “will-they-won't-they” to ultimately land on “they never did”. The winding road of romance proves their greatest enemies for happiness not to be Lex Luthor or the Green Goblin, but executives at the very companies they keep afloat!
