Hey, remember the time Tom King wrote that comic book series where a popular Green Lantern was frozen and killed and a lot of fans pretty much broke the Internet because they jumped to the wrong conclusion...? Me neither. I don't even know why I am bringing it up...

Following up on the last day of "CRISIS Month" with what I remember from a conversation I had with Dad about CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, which I initially posted on Twitter over 4 years ago in response to this post by "WednesdayComiXombie"... 1/

A Twitter post from "WednesdayComiXombie" on March 25, 2022... So... #DCComics erased a great number of universes in comics when #CrisisOnInfinite Earths debuted back during 80's. If you were around when everything got folded into one, were you upset, excited, curious or frustrated w/ outcome? Did it erase work of previous creators? #SHPOLL22

July was technically "CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Month" in 1985, and with the release of the new Absolute Edition, is it also true for 2026. So before CRISIS Month reaches its end, I am sharing some of my dad's Crisis-related fan art done for CBR's "The Line It Is Drawn"...

A CRISIS ON CASTOFF EARTH fanart cover by Xum Yukinori, featuring the Post-Crisis DC Earth Continuity that was left behind after "The New 52" was created in 2011. The Wally West Flash, his daughter Irey in the Impulse costume, Spolier, Jade, Tempest, Donna Troy, the Cassandra Cain Batgirl, Mary Marvel, and Elastigirl and Negative Man from the Doom Patrol charge across a heavily damaged city block toward a mysterious shadowed enemy in the foreground, whose boot is the only thing we see. Wally West screams at their opponent, "We've already lost so much -- YOU WILL NOT TAKE WHAT IS LEFT!" A title in the lower right hand corner reads, "Rise of the Titans"

CRISIS THEORY ENTRY DATA Line Week: 123 Date: January 24, 2013 Theme: "Post-Apocalyptic Comic Book Characters!": Since 2012 was supposed to have been the end of the world, let's get into the post-apocalyptic spirit by picking a comic character and our artists will draw them in a post-apocalyptic scenario. Twitter Suggestion: rodtownsend suggested: Wally West, Donna Troy, Stephanie Brown (and anyone similarly deNUded) hanging out at the end of the world. COMMENTARY This happened to be my 50th week on the Line (including tryouts), so I was already thinking of using an "LD" version of the DC Comics 50th year commemorative bullet logo from 1985, and the Crisis title associated with it, even before I knew what the theme was going to be. So it was quite serendipitous. My idea was to reveal that the post-Crisis DC Earth still existed, but had been ravaged, with many aspects and characters taken away from it and altered to form the then-current "New 52" continuity. This "fake comic book" story would showcase who and what was left behind. Many people believed that the "mystery villain" in the foreground was DC Comics co-publisher Dan Didio, who was a key instigator of the removal of these post-Crisis era characters from DC continuity. I let them keep on believing it ...Xum Yukinori fanart spoofing the CRISIS cover of AMAZING HEROES #91, replacing the DC characters with Archie characters. Along with Pureheart the Powerful (Archie), Miss Vanity (Veronica), Captain Hero (Jughead), Superteen (Betty), and Evilheart (Reggie) from the "Super Teens" stories, Xum added other "alternate universe" Archie Comics characters: Geraldine Grundy of "The Awesome Foursome" from Faculty Funnies; Sharry the Spy Girl from "The Man from R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E." story in Archie volume 1, #610-613; Principal Waldo Weatherbee as the caveman King Be from the first "Archie B.C." story published in Archie volume 1, #9; Hot Dog as Bark-Man the Canine Crusader from Jughead's Pal Hot Dog #3; and Archie 3000 from the comic title of the same name. Sabrina the Teenage Witch is presumed to be from the "mainstream" Archie continuity.Information about The Line It Is Drawn sketch challenge Dad drew the AMAZING HEROES 91 spoof cover for, plus his commentary, as published in his posthumously published commemorative artbook, DOES THIS TRADE DRESS MAKE ME LOOK PHAT? 68. CRISIS ON ALTERNATE RIVERDALES ENTRY DATA Line Week: 146 Date: July 5, 2013 Theme: "Amazing Heroes Tribute!": In honor of the late Kim Thompson, the theme this week will be cover homages to Amazing Heroes (which Thompson edited for over a decade). Pick comic book characters and pick an Amazing Heroes cover and our artists will draw a cover homage of that issue with those characters. Twitter Suggestion: KeithAlanMorgan suggested: Issue 91 featuring Archie, Veronica, and Jughead with other Archie characters in the background. COMMENTARY I have always liked the Archie Comics "Super Teens" stories, mainly because of how they would amusingly poke fun as super-hero comic book tropes. Speaking of poking fun, my aped "Guess Who" signature is a nod to George Pérez's cheeky signoff on the cover of Crisis on Infinite Earths #3.

Did anyone else receive an email from TwoMorrows two weeks ago offering to ship THE CRISIS COMPANION to you "next week" if you "Order by Sunday, July 19!"... And then arranged to place an order on Saturday, July 18. And your order confirmation says it will ship August 19? Just me...?

Congratulations to $1,000 prize winner Beth Eikenbary of Boulder Creek, California for figuring out "Who Shot Danny Scott"... I don't believe they revealed the winners who figured out "Who Slew Kangaroo" and "Who Offed Henry Croft"--at least not in the published Eclipse comics... Maybe in TCBG...?

The cover of Eclipse Comics' WHODUNNIT? issue 1 (on sale June 1986), a brilliant fair-play mystery series by Mark Evanier and Dan Spiegle that offered a $1,000 cash prize (in a briefcase) to whomever solved the issue's murder mystery, the solution was revealed in the next issue. It sadly lasted only 3 issues. The cover shows a bewildered bail bondsman Jay Endicott looking down at the prone dead body of Las Vegas showman Danny Scott, unaware of a masked gunman taking aim behind him...

A week ago, I noted that @fwpodcasts.bsky.social didn't have any April Fools Day content... But an Interspatial Time Conveyor fixed that... for about 47 seconds... fireandwaterpodcast.com/podcast/apri...

I plugged in one of my dad's old corrupted hard drives into my new computer to see if it could be reformatted, and was surprised to see the computer actually read and open the files! Some of those files have the potential makings of another "lost" podcast episode...
