Earth-2.net: The Show

A former Doctor Who companion. A team of both superheroes and villains, some that are leaping off the comic page into live action for the first time. An immortal foe with a plan for world domination that spans centuries. What could possibly go wrong? As Donovan and Chris make their way through the first season of DC's Legends of Tomorrow, the answer turns out to be almost everything. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

Dan and Will celebrate the holidays by subjecting each other to Christmas cartoons and sitcoms, some of questionable quality. Which ones? Telling would ruin the surprise. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

Hannah and Jim drop by to talk about comics (Paper Girls, Land of the Lustrous, Psycho Pass, Unknown Soldier), video games (Destiny 2 and Wolfenstein: The New Order), and books (The Big Book of Sci-Fi, The Book of Dust, Empty Set, and War of the Foxes). Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

Join Mike as he reads through the December Previews. Please pardon the echoey intro. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

Hannah and Jim have a correction to make, and they talk about BlizzCon, Binti: The Night Masquerade (spoiler warning), Richard Siken's Crush, as well as other video games and novels. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

In this edition of Earth-2-in-1, Dan and Mike tackle two... interesting issues. First, a mind-controlled Thor attacks The Thing and his teammates (Marvel Two-in-One #9), then Superman and Batman tell off their super-sons after the boys make a few errors in judgment (World's Finest Comics #230). Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." Or do they? Find out as Pandy and Christian sift through the best outfits, best individual garments, and worst outfits ever donned. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

It's Previews time! In this episode Mike visits The Planet of the Apes, reveals a McCarthy-era take on Snagglepuss, and crosses dimensions as the Battlestar Galactica takes on the Battlestar Galactica! (Note: Mike mistakenly called a Dark Horse series Kitchen Nightmares: Hungry Ghosts #1. It is, in fact, Hungry Ghosts #1.) Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

In this jam-packed 12th anniversary episode of Earth-2.net: The Show: Dave and Mike discuss recent geeky media, including trailers for The Punisher and Runaways, as well as some Doctor Who casting; then Mike asks if USAvengers #11 and Wonder Woman #33 are good jumping-on points; he then reviews the forthcoming film My Friend Dahmer; and, lastly, it's the spoooooky return of 1st Issue Special! Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

Hannah and Jim peek their heads back in to talk about Destiny, Falcon, America on-goings, and various other bits and doodads. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

First, Mike takes a look at Batman #33 and Doctor Strange #26. Specifically he asks one question: "Are these good jumping-on points?" Then Dan and Will are back for more untitled fun as they take a look at the animated adventures of Flash Gordon, covering The New Adventures of Flash Gordon, Defenders of the Earth, and 1996's Flash Gordon. Also: Why Will should be in charge of King Features Syndicated Cinematic Universe. (Note: Mike said Joëlle Jones colored Batman #33. This is an error. Jordie Bellaire colored the issue.)

A mere three months before the first Blade movie changed the course of comic book cinema, Fox premiered Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD. Thanks to an odd combination of gritty cinematography and campy acting choices, Dan and Mike have much to say about this mixed bag. Before all that, however, Mike promotes the renewed Earth-2.net Patreon page: patreon.com/earth_2. If you have the means, please consider supporting The Show by becoming a monthly patron.

Mike gushes over a long-awaited Superman omnibus as he reads through the October Previews.

Teaming up with Kelly once again, Pandy and Christian survey the damage and death wrought by fictional disasters, as well as the rescue efforts inspired by the havoc.

The sun was blotted out, and there was nothing to do but watch. Nope, not the 2017 solar eclipse, but DC Comics' 1996 four-issue event: Final Night.

Nearly 40 years ago, Nicholas Hammond debuted as a certain wall-crawler in the live-action television program The Amazing Spider-Man. Today, Dan and Mike discuss the first feature-length episode, but they also diverge into Spider-Man: Homecoming and the oddity that is the Rocky franchise.
