Children of the Gods
Trekkie writes, Recently I’ve discovered an old idea applied to a new technology. Children of the Gods is a podcast, but unlike other podcasts it’s actually a serial episode of a sci-fi story. Currently there are three published episodes with a fourth coming due soon. Well worth listening too. Has great music backgrounds, sound effects, and voice acting.
Well, Bureau-crats, is this one worth watching?

Infinite Crisis #4-5
…I need the rest of the multiverse back… Worlds I can sift through like sand, one grain at a time, combining and mixing until I find it. Until I find the perfect earth.
–Alexander LuthorIf you’re from this earth it can’t be perfect,because a perfect earth doesn’t need a Superman.
–Superman to Superman
Infinite Crisis #1 began perhaps the most publicized “event series” in comic-book history. The story continued in #2-3 and, in #4-5, recalls more than ever the original Crisis on Infinite Earths: confusing and convoluted, but with clever touches, and an appearance by a possibly dying Flash with a warning to give.
The debate on the nature of comix incorporated in this series starts to focus on Superman. Alexander Luthor, meanwhile, plays god– and the ultimate fanboy.
WARNING: At this point, no attempt has been made to avoid spoilers.
