Earth-2.net Presents...

To quote a listener, "The Web Planet" was "not entirely successful," and that's being nice. Between the curious fights, odd voices and needlessly long story, this one proved a challenge to watch for Dan and Mike.

Last time we heard from the Fantastic Four radio show, the titular quartet had just finished a skirmish with the Sub-Mariner. In this episode they'll face Doctor Doom ("The Dreaded Doctor Doom"), the Puppet Master ("Prisoners of the Puppet Master") and the Hulk ("The Fantastic Four Meet the Incredible Hulk")!

Kellen and Brennan both loved the Afro Samurai series because of its amazing visuals, great music, exceptional voice talents and a simple but incredibly effective story. One of those was missing from its movie sequel, Afro Samurai: Resurrection, and the guys have a lot to say about it.

It's a short, but significant one. Namely the landmark Tales of Suspense #66: the origin of the Red Skull!

Tweaking the origins of superheroes is nothing new, but in 1985 DC rebooted their entire line of comics - allowing a handful of creative masterminds the opportunity to reshape classic characters. The three biggest, of course, were comprised of DC's Trinity: Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. In this edition of Waiting for the Trade, Dan and Mike take a look at those stories (Batman: Year One, The...

Who watches the Watchmen? Desmond and Darryll do in this week's episode of Dread Media! But not before Desmond reluctantly celebrates Mean-Spirited March with Gutterballs, and then cleanses his palate with the awesome Norwegian slasher Cold Prey. Tunes include: "Take the Skinheads Bowling" by Manic Street Preachers, "Balls Out" by The Bloodhound Gang, "All My Friends Are Dead" by Turbonegro, "Deso...

In the final four episodes of Batman Beyond, Terry endangers a young boy by showing him his face ("Unmasked"), briefly befriends the man destined to lead Kobra ("The Curse of Kobra"), uncovers a traitor in the ranks of the Justice League Unlimited ("The Call") and saves Zeta from Mad Stan ("Countdown").

In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick kicks off Mean-Spirited March by washing his hands of Faces of Death. He then delights Darryll with Tokyo Gore Police before disturbing him with Ichi the Killer. It's a straightforward mean bastard of an episode chock full of good discussion, great feedback and killer tunes: "The Death Song" by Marilyn Manson, "Are You Dead Yet?" by Children of Bodom...

In "The Rescue," the crew welcomes Vicki aboard the TARDIS, but not before uncovering a genocidal madman's horrendous actions. Then in "The Romans," Ian and Barbara are sold into slavery while the Doctor and Vicki must thwart a plot that would see Nero assassinated.

It's Green Lantern's first full length adventure and, while Tom could talk about the plot, a new supervillain, and the Power Ring reaching new levels of ridiculous power, but three words should be sufficient to get you to listen: monkey Green Lantern. You know you have to hear Tom's thoughts about Green Lantern #5.

Without batting an eyelash, most comic book readers will decry the 1990s - claiming the decade to be a creative cesspool for the industry. However, in this episode of Earth-2.net: The Show, Des and Mike do the exact opposite; they're here to tell you all about the greatness that came out of the decade, and why we should be thankful for the 10-year span.

It is the only anime to feature the voice talents of Samuel L. Jackson. It was the first anime series to be broadcast on Spike TV. And it was the highest-selling anime series of 2008. Kellen and Brennan review Afro Samurai.

A killer worm in a giant robot fights a little boy in a man's body (Shazam!: The Monster Society of Evil). A scruffy mutant fights his lover's dishonorable father (Wolverine). And a so-so comic fights uncomfortable coloring (Sandman Mystery Theatre: The Face and the Brute).

In this huge episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick celebrates a theme of threes as Darryll joins him for reviews of both Exorcist III and Alien 3. Desmond carries the theme through with a review of the bizarre nunsploitation film The Three Trials. There's reviews of Hotwire: Requiem for the Dead from Radical Comics, and Damaged: A Series of Short Writings by Steve Wands and r.h.s.. And DW contri...

Today we present the first three episodes from the long-forgotten Fantastic Four radio program: "The Fantastic Four Meet the Mole Man," "The Menace of the Miracle Man" and "The Coming of Sub-Mariner."

In Tales of Suspense #65, Captain America's greatest enemy, The Red Skull, makes the scene back in the 1940s - albeit in a khaki jumpsuit and carrying Hot Water Brand Sleep Gas (It Does a Body Good).

The Royal Flush Gang has a streak of bad luck ("King's Ransom"). Big Time uses Terry to seize control of a gang ("Betrayal"). Talia returns with a tempting offer for Bruce ("Out of the Past"). A gorilla seeks revenge on a poacher ("Speak No Evil"). And a dying Inque reunites with her daughter ("Inqueling").

In this mega-sized Friday the 13th extravaganza, Desmond Reddick is joined by Darryll for a Roadkill Review of Friday the 13th (2009) before Desmond reviews the brand new documentary His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th. Desmond and DW both share their top five kills from the series, while DW shares his thoughts on the remake and a review of Friday the 13th for the NES in the latest Bra...

While shrunken down, the TARDIS crew must stop a murderer ("Planet of Giants"). Then they face an old enemy bent on coring out the Earth ("The Dalek Invasion of Earth"). And for the first time ever, a member of the cast leaves the show, prompting Dan and Mike to examine Susan's contributions to the program.

Kellen claims that he would not be the otaku he is without this show, and Brennan was so bored that he couldn't get past the fifth episode. What prompted such differing opinions on the teen melodrama anime Rumbling Hearts? All is revealed inside.

This episode might be a tad shorter than normal, but Dan and Mike have plenty to say about Hulk: Red Hulk, Marvel Illustrated: Treasure Island and 100 Bullets: First Shot, Last Call.

In this kaiju-sized episode of Dread media, Desmond Reddick takes a look at the giant monster subgenre. He starts off with an interview with Ryan C. Thomas, and then reviews his anthology of giant monster stories, Monstrous. Then Desmond reviews the Sci Fi Channel movie Cyclops, and the Australian brainfart Demonsamongus in conjunction with F%$ked-Up February before DW comes along to review Call o...

In Green Lantern #4, the hero travels to the evil dimension of Qward to fight a round-headed robot that's secretly good. Then he finds his mask the target of a scavenger hunt run by Carol. Plus a mystery surrounding the artist - or artists - involved in drawing a story.

In this fleshy episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick takes a look at the Anchor Bay documentary Fantastic Flesh: The Art of Make-up EFX and kicks off F#%$ed Up February with the Italian sleazefest In the Folds of the Flesh. DW is back with a review of Curse: Eye of the Isis for the Xbox in the latest edition of Brainscan, and Desmond comes back to review the first volume of MySpace Dark Horse Pr...

It might be a tad long and sort of underwhelming, but "The Reign of Terror" isn't really that bad of an episode of Doctor Who.
