It's another one of those "good news, bad news" situations on the Road to No Man's Land. The good news is, we're back to Shadow of the Bat... the bad news is, this is Alan Grant's swan song arc! This time out, we check in on our favorite Arkham, Jeremiah, as he deals with the fallout of the verybadthing that happened at 7:03, and the fact that, ever since, he's been unable to get any supplies or meds for his Asylum full'a lunatics! As of this issue, he's t-minus one week away from being out of everything! What's a man to do? Perhaps turn to... the Joker for help?! A great issue to kick off the arc, plus (by popular demand) a replaying of my "Idiot's Guide to Comic Book Podcasting" from way back in 2021! It's a long one... but, I give ya ample warning as to where you can safely hit "stop" on your listening device!

The final Azraeling... for now, anyway! Wrapping up the Nicholas Scratch stuff... well, sort of.  There... really ain't much to say about this one, not that that'll stop me from occupying your ear for the better part of an hour. Thankfully some friends of the show have delivered us an amazing NMaiLbag! NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com [email protected]

More Azrael!  More Nick Scratch!  You're Welcome... and I'm Sorry! This time out, our man JPV has some answering to do for pulling a boner on his mission to protect the life of Gotham's only friend, Senator Esty Halivan!  Not only that, he's now on the hook for the murder!  What IS an Angel of Vengeance to do?  Listen in and find out! Plus: A wonderful dive into the NMaiLbag! NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com [email protected]

We're officially on THE ROAD TO NO MAN'S LAND... and, with it comes a three-part dive into Azrael-Land.  In today's episode our Angel of Whateverthehell is sent off to Washington, DC to protect Gotham City's last hope on the Hill.  He does so quite poorly. We also meet the Sensational Character Find of 1998... Nicholas Scratch?! All 'at and a deep dip into the ol' NMaiLbag!

Wrapping up the Aftershock Era with... a Red-Sky issue?! Rather than going out with a Cataclysmic Bang, we ready ourselves to embark upon the Road to No Man's Land with a wonderful little "evergreen" story, featuring the Joker imparting quite the impactful lesson upon our Caped Crusader. Potentially the strongest single-issue story of our NML Crossing journey so far!  You're gonna dig this issue... and hopefully, this episode! NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com [email protected]

In our penultimate Aftershock issue, we get to go on patrol with the original Dynamic Duo as they discuss things like "the good old days" and spray people down with literal bat poop!  It's a good time as always... join us, won't you? NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com [email protected]

As we approach the end of the Aftershock Era, things can't help but to go from bad to worse for Gotham City and its costumed protectors!  Hope continues to dwindle... almost as much as the Gotham population!  We're very nearly on "The Road to...", and boy, this road be bumpy! Also: We check out the first official mention of No Man's Land in the pages of Wizard Magazine #83!  NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com [email protected]

It's time for a situation report!  Let's take a beat and catch ourselves up on all things post-Quake Gotham City... with an eye toward its uncertain future! Plus: A dip into the comics journos of the day in Wizard #82, and a collector-focused installment of the NMaiLbag! NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com [email protected]

Perhaps the most off-beat issue/episode yet! Where else can you hear about an old man giving himself a cottage cheese sponge bath, a child who'd rather be eaten than see her captor beaten up... and also have a text-story in a turn of the century comic book?!  It's an odd one, all right! Plus: A very Jack Drake-focused NMaiLbag! NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com [email protected]

Wrapping up our two-parter with a bang... well, a boom.  The supervillain team-up didn't go as smoothly as the Mad Hatter would've hoped... but, hope itself now (briefly) reigns among Bruce Wayne's Junior-Entrepreneur Club! But all 'at is just preamble to the return of the raucous NMaiLbag! NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com [email protected]

Today our "dark horse" Bat-Book delivers what might just be one of the tentpole issues of the entire NML run.  What can Gotham City do when all of the non-Wayne-owned companies and industries threaten to bail?  Thankfully, the people... those who'll stay... have some ideas, but will it (can it) be enough?! We also get a peek at an upcoming (super?) villain team-up!   NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com [email protected]

It's not that the people of Gotham don't believe he exists... it's that they no longer believe in HIM.  What happens when the urban legend of the City having a protector becomes moot... since, what has he done for us lately?  Well, it leads to a crisis of confidence for our Caped Crusader... and it lends a whole lotta weight to our "new normal".  If you've always known Batman as being the "coolest" guy in any room he enters... this is an issue you'll need to read to believe. We've also got a Letters Page to discuss!  Plus: A wildly confusing (for me) NMaiLbag! NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com [email protected]
