Earth-2.net Presents...

A madman attempts to resurrect the long-dormant Cybermen in an effort to form an alliance with them ("The Tomb of the Cybermen"), and an entity uses robot Yeti to terrorize a group of monks ("The Abominable Snowmen"). Also, Dan and Mike discuss what qualities they like to see in companions.

Richie gains superpowers, and just in time to save Virgil from Ebon and the Meta-Breed ("Gear"). Pops takes his children to Africa, where Static steps in to save a village from a madman willing to do anything in search of gold ("Static in Africa"). A new superhero is in town, but she's more than she seems ("Shebang"). Virgil and Richie judge a book by its cover, nearly pushing a bully over the edge ("The Usual Suspect"). And lastly, the teen heroes must take on Brainiac with the help of the Justice League ("A League of Their Own").

At the end of the last Waiting for the Trade segment, Dan and Mike each named two sets of comics they wish were currently collected. Now that they've had time to reread those books, do they still want to see them reprinted in trade paperback form? Some of the answers very well might surprise you. In case you missed it, the books they chose are Miracleman: A Dream of Flying, Sabretooth: Deathhunt, Iceman, and Ruse: Enter the Detective. Also, Mike does something absolutely evil to Dan.

It's another massive episode of Dread Media as Desmond and Darryll sit down to put four evil eyes on Romero and Argento's Two Evil Eyes.

The Boys from Brooklyn do their semiannual trip into the televisual realm as they discuss forgotten TV shows they'd like to see on DVD. From the maybe-ahead of its time high-tech spy show Search to the super-heroic Jerry O'Connell-starring sitcom My Secret Identity, Tom and Derrick discuss some of those forgotten shows they wish they could revisit before they throw it open to the BITD message board's wish list! Plus an examination of how Wonder Woman moves through the air, more discussion of Billy Joel than you really want on a movie podcast, and Tom's choice for the defining moment of Millennium. We're the tip of the spear, so get to clicking!

New heroes emerged and familiar faces returned in the five comics (Batgirl #1, Blackest Night: Superman #1, Dominic Fortune #1, The Red Circle: The Web #1, and Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1) Des and Mike covered in this installment of 1st Issue Special.

In the first episode of the 'Cade to appear on Earth-2.net, we get the momentous first solo meeting between Green Lantern and The Flash in Green Lantern #13. In a very Marvel way, they fight, and in a very DC way, it's because of some evil bald men. Oh, and Barry Allen explores his "special feelings" for his best friend, and Terga Kalmaku finally discovers the English language.

Kellen returns to Animezing Podcast fulltime with a brief, yet detailed rundown of the closure of ADV Films, and the new companies that have risen from the ashes. What does the whole situation mean for ADV's catalog, and why is SXION23 possibly the greatest insider joke ever? Listen to find out.

The moment the announcement was made that Disney had purchased Marvel, fearful questions spread across the Internet. Will Disney tone down the language and violence in the comic books? What will happen to the MAX line? How soon will Spider-Man shake Mickey Mouse's hand in Amazing Spider-Man? Well, Des and Mike are here to calm your nerves as they speculate on the future of Marvel now that the Mouse runs the House of Ideas.
