Earth-2.net Presents...

Can you guess which of the following comics Des and Mike vehemently disagreed on? One look at the list should give you a big hint: DMZ #37, Final Crisis #5, Invincible #56, Secret Invasion: Dark Reign and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz #1.

In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick (with a red nose for other reasons) reviews Elves, the cheesy Christmas horror classic. Then he reviews several new indie comics: City of Dust #3, Nyarlathotep and Remnant #1. DW stops by to discuss Fatal Frame in Brainscan. Desmond talks about snow, hamsters and being right about Rob Zombie all in a whiskey-fueled episode featuring the following Yuletide terror tunes: "It Snows in Hell" by Lordi, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" by The Browns, "Cold Blooded Christmas" by Jon Lavoie, "There Ain't No Sanity Clause" by The Damned and "Christmas Sucks" by Tom Waits and Peter Murphy.

After reading several e-mails about Rose, Dan and Mike focus on two Doctor Who stories. First up is "The Edge of Destruction," which takes place entirely inside the TARDIS. Then they lament the tragic loss of the seven-part "Marco Polo," the first serial to suffer from the BBC's junking policy. Also, Mike turns embarrassingly red at one point.

With Jenny's cough being no better than before, Mike reads the bulk of the December Previews. Also, some sad news for Star Trek fans.

Someone recently celebrated her 30th birthday, and she's here to talk about it. Also, Ian pops in with his thoughts about Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army.

In the spirit of the season, Kellen dedicates 2008's final episode of Animezing Podcast to Ken Akamatsu's two-episode OVA series My Santa.

Dan and Mike break format this week; instead of discussing two forthcoming collections and one that's already on the shelves, they cover (and argue over) the two series that made Alex Ross a comic book superstar: Marvels and Kingdom Come!

In this episode of Dread Media, you'll shoot your eye out as Desmond Reddick takes a look at the early career of the legendary Bob Clark. While he covers most of the relevant films rather quickly, he offers full reviews of two recent Anchor Bay releases: Black Christmas (the original slasher film) and Murder by Decree (the film that pits Sherlock Holmes against Jack the Ripper). DW stops by with a review of Clock Tower for the Super Nintendo, and there are tunes aplenty: "Dead of Night" by New Math, "Piano Recital" by Carl Zittrer, "Jack the Ripper" by Mary Shelley Overdrive and "Silent Night, Deadly Night" by The Browns.

In this episode, Green Lantern gets his own book after the Showcase tryout, and celebrates the new status quo with a clip show. But since Green Lantern #1 marks a new inker coming onboard to assist Gil Kane, it's a lot better than it appears!

In response to an e-mail, James and Mike cast their version of a live-action Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, then they discuss five episodes from Batman Beyond: "Rats!," "Mind Games," "Revenant," "Babel" and "Terry's Friend Dates a Robot."
