Disc Two
- Life After Flash (1080p; 1:33:33) is an appealing documentary that received a previous release by Cleopatra a while ago. Those interested can read my Life After Flash Blu-ray review of that version for more information. Though it's probably not a huge difference given the "talking head" proclivities of this piece, this commendably offers a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track where the Cleopatra release had only lossy Dolby audio. That at least gives some of the interstitial musical moments a little bit more "oomph".
- Extended Comic Con Sequence (1080p; 13:07) is a featurette covering some of the crazy antics of Comic Con.
Deep Roy Ambition Rap (1080p; 1:24)
