    In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick steps on broken branches and pushes brush out of his face while the wind stirs up terror.

Tunes include: "Doctor Finkelstein / In the Forest" by Danny Elfman (The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack), "Forest" by System of a Down and "Tree of Woe" by Basil Poledouris (Conan the Barbarian score).[ 44:16 || 20.2 MB ]

  5. Youngblood #1 (2008)

    The original Youngblood wasn't a good comic. We all know this, so let's not pretend otherwise. Yeah, yeah. Upon debuting, it might have sold over a million copies, but sales don't indicate quality. If that were the case, Joe Casey wouldn't have re-scripted the original series for the forthcoming hardcover. (See, even Rob Liefeld knows the book sucked.) So then why does it keep coming back? Do people like the concept and characters? Do they associate the title with an exciting era? Or is it that they like to see train wrecks, and figure anything with Youngblood for a title is destined for Derail City? If it's the latter, I have bad news for you: this new Youngblood series is a smooth ride.

  6. Witchblade: Witch Hunt

    Until recently Witchblade wasn't on my radar. To me, it was just another cheesecake book spawned in the 1990s. That it lasted this long was a surprise. Whereas most other female-led books from that era faded away after an initial burst of popularity, Witchblade currently has 115 issues in the can -- and the forthcoming creative team has committed themselves to the title until #150, so obviously Top Cow is doing something right. Yet I still wrote it off, longevity be damned!

    Of the five comics Des and Mike reviewed this week -- Clandestine #1, Lords of Avalon: Sword of Darkness #1, Marvel Illustrated: Moby Dick #1, The Twelve #2 and Uncanny X-Men #495 -- it's suggested that two be added to your pull list, and one is said to be a "modern classic in the making." Also, a Marvel Illustrated book finally impresses both men. [ 1:03:14 || 28.9 MB ]

  12. Fables #1

    This week the plan was to review Madrox: Multiple Choice, the miniseries that launched the superbly written X-Factor. But then I realized my hardcover collection would be arriving next week, and I'd much rather review it after having said book in-hand. (Oh how I can't wait to crack it open!) So then I thought about covering Witchblade: Witch Hunt, the collection Top Cow recently sent me for review. I even went so far as to start a review, but then I lost the damn file. Discouraged and not wanting to start over, I searched for something else.
