Earth-2.net Presents...

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 Man of Steel and Wonder Woman: Gods and Mortals) to see how well they did their job, and if they withstood the test of time.

Who watches the Watchmen? Desmond and Darryll do in this week's episode of Dread Media!

Tunes include: "Take the Skinheads Bowling" by Manic Street Preachers, "Balls Out" by The Bloodhound Gang, "All My Friends Are Dead" by Turbonegro, "Desolation Row" by My Chemical Romance and "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel.

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, "Tokyo Lucky Hole (Live)" by Painkiller, "Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads and "Watch it Die" by Bad Religion.

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.
