Des offers a theory as to why John Byrne is working on Angel vs. Frankenstein, both guys are baffled by Azrael #1, they're a little split on Cowboy Ninja Viking #1, Mike loses his shit when discussing one of the stories in DCU Halloween Special 2009, and they can't make much sense of GI Joe: Snake Eyes #1.

It might not be the swine flu, but Desmond Reddick sure feels like shit. Luckily a reservoir of content is here to save the day. Darryll and Desmond sit down to discuss the 1980s sci-fi / horror flick Hardware, and Dying in the Gutters returns with a spotlight on CrossGen Comics' Route 666. Tunes included: "Smiling Like a Killer" by Motorhead, "Stigmata" by Ministry, "A Night on Route 666" by Gein and the Graverobbers, and "The Siege and Investiture of Baron Von Frankenstein's Castle at Weisseria" by Mary Shelley Overdrive.

It took me a long time to warm up to the idea of Batman: Arkham Asylum. In the months leading to its release the buzz grew and grew, but I did my best to ignore all of it. I guess I just couldn't fathom a game about Batman being worth all the attention. Great games based on superheroes tend to be few and far between, and the screenshots of a gritty, over-muscled Batman didn't exactly pique my interest. But even though I wasn't excited, it seemed like everyone else was. When it was finally released, and the praise for the game kept coming strong, I started to rethink my plans and gave the game a shot.

This Halloween weekend Desmond Reddick was joined by Davinder and Ian at the Victoria Comic Convention. They talk about celebrity thumb wrestling and zombie walks before Desmond interviews indie film legend Lloyd Kaufman and young indie filmmaker Ryan Nicholson. The Toxic Avenger Musical, H1N1 scares, and nasty revenge are found among other obscene visions in the minds of these madmen. And Lloyd and Ryan are pretty crazy too! Enjoy the following terror tunes: "Walk Among Us" by The Misfits, "Dead Man Walking" by Raging Speedhorn, "Legend of the Toxic Avenger" by the 2009 cast of The Toxic Avenger Musical, "I Did it For Love" by Harlequin, and "Scream on Halloween" by The Browns.

More bases come under siege as killer seaweed attacks a gas pipeline ("Fury from the Deep"), and the Cybermen menace a space station ("The Wheel in Space").

In this mishmash, last-minute episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick goes solo on an impromptu Roadkill Review of theatrical indie film Paranormal Activity, then sits down with Darryll to discuss Happy Birthday to Me. Michael David Sims comes back to the show to discuss The Anchor #1 from BOOM! Studios, and Desmond looks at the disturbing but vacant art film American Gothic.

Puns, puns, and more puns! Campy acting! A useless new superhero! Three butchered supervillains! And the infamous credit card! Oh yes, it's Batman & Robin! Listen as James, Ian, and Mike celebrate the fourth anniversary of Earth-2.net: The Show by lamenting the murdering of the Batman movie franchise, cursing everyone involved with the picture, and suffering head trauma (again)! As an added bonus: singing! [ 3:14:27 || 89.3 MB ][ The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/theshow/episodes/e2ts_350.mp3

Though he's no longer Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange is still a powerful mage. And those who would use magic or the power of demons to threaten the world better beware. Art: Tomm Coker The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/wallpaper/full/Doctor_Strange_001.jpg

Last time we looked at reprinting books from two important eras: the Golden Age and the Bronze Age, where Jack did some of his best work with DC. But of all the comic pages the man illustrated, it is safe to say that he drew more pages for Marvel (in all of its incarnations) than all other publishers combined.

With Halloween right around the corner, it's a new first for Animezing Podcast, as Kellen and James present a commentary for the first episode of the Hellsing Ultimate OVA. [ 1:10:06 || 32.3 MB ] The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/podcasts/animezingpodcast/episodes/animezing_038.mp3

It's more senseless Hulk-on-Hulk violence in Hulk: Hulk No More. Then a series of one-off tales build towards something greater in Scalped: High Lonesome. And lastly, John Reid forges a legacy for himself as the mysterious masked man in The Lone Ranger: Now and Forever.

It's a wild world this week as Megan and Darryll join Desmond on separate reviews. Megan wants her monsters to be a little bit sexier in the television series Sanctuary, and Darryll wants his Nazi zombies from Norwegian splatstick film Dead Snow to be... more subtle? Desmond tries to add a bit of sober levelheadedness to the show, but ends up liking the PG-13 straight-to-video Scary Madison production The Shortcut. It's not worth fighting it. Join the madness. It's better that way. Tunes include: "Sanctuary" by Alice Cooper, "She Sells Sanctuary" by The Cult, "Sin's a Good Man's Brother" by Monster Magnet, "D.I.B. (Drenched in Blood)" by Turbonegro, and "Zombie Toolshed" by Mary Shelley Overdrive. [ 1:30:41 || 41.7 MB ] The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/podcasts/dreadmedia/episodes/dreadmedia_112.mp3
