Earth-2.net Presents...

Kellen and Randy are back with not one, but two reviews! First, Lord of the Flies meets Swiss Family Robinson in Uninhabited Planet Survive, then they discuss the highflying (and potentially homoerotic, one host claims) Kaleido Star.

It's a first issue extravaganza! This week Des and Mike spoke about American Dream #1, Avengers / Invaders #1, Invincible Iron Man #1, Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas #1 and Thunderbolts: Reason in Madness. Surprisingly, one of the hosts wasn't crazy about the big release this week, and another book truly amazed both of them!

In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick debuts the new segment Horror Legends as he digs through selected films by the Italian master of gore, Lucio Fulci. Among the films covered: The Eroticist, Don't Torture a Duckling, The Psychic, Zombi 2, City of the Living Dead and The Beyond. DW returns with a look ahead at upcoming horror video games in another edition of Brainscan. Tunes included: "A Lizard with the Skin of a Woman" by Mike Patton, "Dead Babies" by Alice Cooper, "The Clairvoyant" by Iron Maiden, "Designer Drugs" by Fake Shark Real Zombie, "One Step Beyond" by Fantomas and "Beyond the Gates" by Midnight Syndicate.

In a recent panel discussion, independent cartoonists Ivan Brunetti, John Hankiewicz and Onsmith spoke about their craft, personal lives and what inspires them to create. Presented here is a recording of said panel.

In their longest show yet, James and Mike thoroughly dissect "World's Finest," the epic three-part Superman / Batman crossover!

While reviewing Daredevil: Blood of the Tarantula, Marvel Adventures Iron Man #12, New Avengers #40, New Warriors #11 and X-Men: Legacy #210, one of the hosts decided that a certain book could... mate with itself. But there's only one way to discover which book received the profanity-laced score: download the show.

In this super-long episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick interviews the publisher of Radical Comics, Barry Levine, about new comics, movie soundtracks and KISS! Then Michael David Sims from Earth-2.net joins Desmond to review Radical Comics' first two offerings: Hercules #1 and Caliber #1. That's not all! DW joins the Dread Media family with a review of Siren for the PS2 in a new segment of video game reviews called Brainscan. Tunes include: "Shout at the Devil" by Motley Crue, "God of Thunder" and "Shock Me" by KISS and "Goin' Blind" by The Melvins. Enjoy!

To celebrate their 11th anniversary in style (or as stylish as these two get), Jenny and Mike got in front of the microphone to discuss a comic book that is very near and dear to their hearts: Preacher! (More specifically, they focused on Gone to Texas, the first volume in the series.)

In this rare Monday episode of Earth-2.net: The Show, Des and Mike discussed five comic books: Caliber #1, Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four #35, Mighty Avengers #12, Ultimate Spider-Man #121 and X-Force #3.

There's news and feedback to boot! Tunes include: "Murders in the Rue Morgue" by Iron Maiden, "The Thing That Should Not Be" by Primus and "A Necessary End" by Saltillo.

What do My Chemical Romance, teenagers, The Karate Kid, parking violations and The Crow: Wicked Prayer all have in common? Well, nothing really, except that they're all topics of discussion on this episode of Earth-2.net: The Show.

Lois Lane visits an alternate reality, one where her death caused the rise of a dark empire ("Brave New Metropolis"). Once home, she's greeted by a long-lost friend of the monkey variety ("Monkey Fun"). After that, Brainiac returns ("Ghost in the Machine"), and Superman finally meets Darkseid ("Father's Day").

Of the five comic books Des and Mike spoke about this week (Avengers: The Initiative #11, Hercules #1, The Incredible Hercules #116, Iron Man #28 and War is Hell: The First Flight of the Phantom Eagle #2), three were filled with great storytelling, one was painfully awful and one (sort of) split them.

In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick corrects his dumbass mistakes, rants against rants against (yes, it's repeated on purpose) horror fandom, reviews Weed Species by Jack Ketchum and features a short interview with Andrew Migliore of Lurker Films. He also reviews Annabel Lee, The Mist and Sweeney Todd. Tunes include: "Weeds" by Life of Agony, "Short Songs" by Dead Kennedys, "Spectral Mist" by Midnight Syndicate and "Epiphany" by Johnny Depp (as Sweeney Todd).
