Episode 193: Comic Book Events Characters!

About this episode

The episode discusses characters created for comic book events from DC and Marvel, featuring guest Peter Rios.

We explore characters created specifically for comic book events from DC Comics and Marvel Comics. Joining us for the discussion is special guest Peter Rios from Comic Geek Speak as we look at the characters introduced during these events, how they impacted the stories they debuted in, whether they ever returned afterward, and which ones ultimately became bigger than the event itself. We touch upon Secret Wars, Crisis of Infinite Earths, Fear Itself, Age of Apocalypse, Legends, Millennium, Infinite Crisis, Final Crisis, Blackest Night, and many more.
