Earth-2.net: The Show

Of the five mostly excellent books this week (Franklin Richards: Monster Mash #1, Marvel Adventures Iron Man # 5, Punisher MAX Annual #1, Ultimate Spider-Man #114 and X-Men #203), two honestly shocked Des and Mike with their greatness!

"The angels are coming for you. But listen: your life could depend on this. Don't blink. Don't even blink! Blink and you're dead! They are fast! Faster than you can believe! Don't turn your back! Don't look away! And don't blink! Good luck." That's right, we're talking about "Blink," the awesomely wonderful episode of Doctor Who.

In last week's Is It Wednesday Yet? Des and Mike didn't quite agree. This week the pair reviews Captain America #30, Marvel Comics Presents #1, New X-Men #42, Penance: Relentless #1 and Terror, Inc. #2. Are things any different this time around?

Des and Mike go through five issues of Countdown this month (39, 38, 37, 36 and 35), pointing out the good, the bad and the ugly along the way. Oh, and Des was right about... ah, that would be telling!

Jenny and Mike share some laughs over Confessions of a Blabbermouth, a brand new graphic novel by the DC Comics imprint Minx. They then briefly wonder how they acted as college freshmen. Mike offers a sincere apology to horror podcasters. And then the duo reviews Rob Zombie's Halloween.

In previous installments of Is It Wednesday Yet?, Des and Mike have pretty much seen eye to eye, this week all that changes. Which books couldn't they come to terms on? Well, here's the list to choose from: Cyblade Pilot Season #1, New Avengers #34, Nova #6, Parade (with Fireworks) #1 and Thor #3.

After arguing over who's better between Han Solo and Indiana Jones, Jenny and Mike take a look at the September Previews.

In the latest installment of the Is It Wednesday Yet? segment, Des and Mike look at early copies of Captain America: The Chosen #1, Fantastic Four and Power Pack #3, Iron Man: Enter the Mandarin #1, Madame Mirage #2 and She-Hulk #21.

In this brief update, Jenny and Mike announce the winners of the Halloween: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Contest, and then reveal what's going to debut on Earth-2.net on Monday, 03 September!

After a short hiatus, Des and Mike return with reviews of Abyss #1, Atomic Robo #1, Mice Templar #1, Neozoic #1 and Strangeland: Seven Sins #1. Though three of these premier issues won't be released until October, the duo strongly recommends ordering them now! Which ones received the stamp of approval? Listen to find out.

After a cryptic announcement, Jenny and Mike finally recap Wizard World Chicago 2007.

As four more issues of Countdown (43, 42, 41 and 40) are dissected, Des proposes a theory so shocking it has to be true, Mike rants about inconsistent artwork, the duo praises one of the artists to the heavens and Mike has a message for Countdown / DC apologists.
