In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick reviews The Forest, the short film A Perfect Place, the soundtrack BLINDeye, Marvel Comics' Haunt of Horror: Lovecraft #1 and barely touches on Nine Inch Nails' new album, The Slip. There's news galore from Wizard World Philly, announcements a plenty and two voicemails! One of them is very annoying. Tunes include: "Forest King" by 3 Inches of Blood, "Cave" by Muse, three songs by Mike Patton ("Main Theme," "A Perfect Place" and "A Perfect Twist"), "Open Eyes" by Miranda Sex Garden and "Discipline" by Nine Inch Nails. Make sure to get in on the Jack Ketchum Hide and Seek audiobook offer from Horror Mall in honor of our esteemed returning guest on next week's episode. It's pronounced "YO-gurt!"

Mondo Marvel, a Wizard World Philly 2008 panel.

As always, James and Mike discuss five episodes this week ("Prototype," "The Late Mr. Kent" and "Heavy Metal" from Superman: The Animated Series, and "Double Talk" and "You Scratch My Back" from Gotham Knights), but one of them is so bad it's described as being "Superman's 'Terrible Trio.'" Thankfully two of the other episodes are masterpieces.

Longtime listeners of the Is It Wednesday Yet? segment know the grading scale by heart: buy, borrow, flip through and skip. But they also know there are several grades reserved for extra special books. Sometimes those grades are full of loving warmth, and sometimes they're filled with burning hatred. In this episode of Earth-2.net: The Show, two of those special grades are given. The books this week are Daredevil #107, Marvel 1985 #1, Ms. Marvel #27, She-Hulk #29 and Wolverine: First Class #3.

In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick reviews the newest Jack Ketchum adaptation, The Lost. Then, his friend Shaun joins him for a review of the horror comedy Botched before going solo to review Hercules #2 and Caliber #2 from Radical Comics. And DW is here to review the survival horror game D. Tunes include: "Lost in America" by Alice Cooper, "I'll Kill You" by Akira Yamaoka, "Moskau" by Rammstein, "Gunslinger" by Avenged Sevenfold and "The Last Laugh" by Antimatter. All this, plus the winner of the Cemetery Things contest, feedback and more!

Anime Central, one of the premier anime conventions in North America, recently came to Chicago, so Jenny and Mike paid the show a visit. Following their discussion of the convention, Ian Wilson returns with his review of Iron Man!

Is it possible that the Street Fighter live action movie wasn't the worst adaptation of the franchise? Kellen Scrivens begs the question as he takes a look at Street Fighter II V.

Good or bad, sometimes comics surprise you. You think you know what you're going to get, but the experience winds up nowhere near your expectations. This week, at least three of the comics (Black Panther #36, Captain America #38, Iron Man: Director of SHIELD #29, Marvel Adventures The Avengers #24 and X-Factor #31) surprised Des and Mike. But where did those surprises fall on the positive / negative scale?
