Earth-2.net: The Show

Of the five comics Des and Mike reviewed this week (Foundation #1, The Incredible Hulk #112, Marvel Holiday Special 2007, Marvel Illustrated: The Iliad #1 and Wolverine: Origins #20), one was a surprise hit and another was ruined by the lettering. Which two are those, and what was said of the other three? Download the episode to hear our thoughts!

For six months Desmond Reddick and Michael David Sims have examined DC's weekly series Countdown. Overall, their feelings about the series have been less than enthusiastic. Despite having been disappointed, they swore to trudge forward, hoping Countdown would get better as the series crossed into the final 26 issues. It didn't, and as they sat down to record for a seventh month, their spirits broke.

With all of their technical difficulties solved (for now), Des and Mike return to review five comics scheduled for release this Wednesday: Amazing Spider-Girl #15, The Angelus Pilot Season, Atomic Robo #3, Dark Sector #0 and Fantastic Four #552. Which book caused Mike to step on his soapbox, and which television theme song does Des sing? You have to download the episode to find out!

Is it okay to look at a lady's chest after you've made eye contact? That's the question Mike poses before he and Jenny read through the December Previews catalog. As always, someone (RE: Jenny) can't control their laughter after a hilarious flub!

Jenny recently celebrated her 29th birthday by letting her inner punk out! Download this episode to hear her exploits, and learn why Mike doesn't care if other guys flirt with her. Also: Ian Wilson returns with reviews of Stardust and 30 Days of Night!

In this episode Des and Mike take a look at four independent comic books slated for release this week: 2 Guns #4, First Born #3, Midknight #1 and Proof #2.

For six months Des and Mike have been discussing Countdown, and it hasn't fared so well. We're now at the halfway point (30, 29, 28, 27 and 26); have their attitudes about DC's weekly series changed?

This week Des and Mike discussed five Marvel comic books, with those being Avengers: The Initiative #7, Captain Marvel #1, Ghost Rider Annual #1, Punisher War Journal #13 and X-Men: Die by the Sword #3.

What causes Jenny to fall into another fit of laughter? Mike says the new red Hulk looks like a what? And why should Rob Liefeld's detractors try the new Youngblood series? All these questions (and more) are answered as Jenny and Mike discuss the November Previews!

Of the five comics Des and Mike reviewed this week (Astonishing X-Men #23, Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #33, Ms. Marvel #21, Mystic Arcana: Sister Grimm and Silver Surfer: In Thy Name #1), they greatly disagreed on two. In fact, in response to Mike's love for one of the comics, Des said, "I'm shocked this book isn't cancelled yet." Ouch!

As they review Saw IV, Jenny and Mike explore the two major plot holes in the film, but they aren't what you think.

Here we are again with five more early comic book reviews. This time Des and Mike cover Daredevil Annual #1, Iron Man #23, Mythos: Fantastic Four, Sub-Mariner #5 and Ultimate Power #8. Though they agree on most of the books, one of the issues has them at different ends of the spectrum.

Earth-2.net: The Show is two years old! To celebrate, Jenny and Mike recap JemCon 2007, and then they review 30 Days of Night. And who's that with a review of 300? Why, it's Ian Wilson!

This week in Is It Wednesday Yet?, Des and Mike take spoiler-free looks at Foolkiller #1, Moon Knight #13, Proof #1, She-Hulk #22 and What If? Planet Hulk.

Des and Mike get together once again to discuss four more issues of Countdown (34, 33, 32 and 31). This month they cover the murder of three men at the hands of Mary Marvel, Black Canary's bachelorette party and Lois Lane's cocaine usage. Wait... what?

This week in Is It Wednesday Yet?, Des and Mike discuss Drafted #2, Marvel Adventures The Avengers #17, Marvel Zombies 2 #1, Mighty Avengers #5 and Storm Shadow #4.

Before discussing the October Previews, Jenny and Mike have a frank conversation about the forthcoming Saw IV and movies of its ilk.

Did First Born #2 surpass the greatness of the first issue? Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #24 has a lot of hype behind it, but did the second chapter in the "One More Day" storyline impress? It might look pretty, but what of the story that makes up New Warriors #5? Is Punisher War Journal #12 the best Punisher book ever? And who didn't finish reading Runaways #28?

This week Des and Mike took early looks at Howard the Duck #1, Ms. Marvel #20, Omega: The Unknown #1, Uncanny X-Men #491 and Wolverine Annual #1. Which book had them on opposite sides of the grading scale? Here's a clue: it was a #1.

Monday, 28 September 1987 was quite possibly the greatest day in geek history. On that day, exactly 20 years ago today, Star Trek: The Next Generation launched on syndicated television. Since then science fiction television has boomed, producing such shows as Quantum Leap, seaQuest DSV, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica and a countless host of others. Though they're all grossly different, each show owes a debt of gratitude to Star Trek: The Next Generation. In this special edition of Earth-2.net: The Show, Jenny and Mike honor ST:TNG by discussing their favorite characters, moments and episodes. Join them as they talk for over three hours about The Next Generation!
