Awesome as usual! Keep it up!

ahh and now the final raping of silent hill is complete first a shitty movie now a shitty comic

If you think that's bad there's talks of another Silent Hill movie in the works. Dun Dun Dun!!

Okay, the Harry Mason sex change was just awful, but I pray to god they don't rape James Sunderland too. James was my favorite character.

If they change James to Jane,... well... let's just say I will finally put that pyramid mask and oversized knife to good use

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh.......nope

Such a thrilling argument...

Whatever you think of the story, the look and sound was right i don't know how anyone can deny that. Though i did see someone complain about the excessive violence...i can understand that for certain...

They got all the story wrong. To me, it was a slap to the face. The director was just someone who played through the game and did not do outside research.

I would say it was one of the best video game adaptations ever, but that really isn't saying much is it?

They really pussed out on the story. They could show a woman being raped by barbed wire but they couldn't say a woman burned her daughter alive and kept her in agony in an attempt to birth a heathen god for her crazy cult?

When did he ever mention the movie?

Well, being named "the best movie adaptation of a video game" does NOT make it a good movie.

Guy: "Was that movie good?"

Guy 2: "It was better than the Resident Evil movies!"

Guy: "What isn't?"

Guy 2:Well I was frozen today!

Shitty movie? Far from it. Unlike say, House of the Dead. Silent Hill, was actually a nice take on the games, in fact it was pretty much an alternate telling of the first Silent Hill. While adding in some elements from the other games (Pyramid Head was awesome in the movie! It's just a shame he wasn't a big part of it.)

You sound like you want the movie to be EXACTLY like the games, if that's the case... play the freakin' games! Oh, and people complaining about the excessive violence... wha? The games have excessive violence in them. What about the pile of guts in the first game, or the nightmare ally.

Ahh, the Silent Hill comics. I don't know how your still sane after reading these shitty comics

I could draw a better comic than this blindfolded and with my left hand (I'm right handed).

I don't know what's scarier, the artwork or the fact this comic is based on a good survival horror series. The story has such a potential for being really good in the first two issues. ...then the audience finds out the whole thing was viewed from a video tape from a bunch of teenagers. Yeah. I never read the Silent Hill comics, but I already have a feeling the next couple issues are going to be rediculous as hell.

On a positive note, the ending of this review was epic. :D

The artwork reminds me of the classic Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark illustrations, except lousier.

Great stuff as usual! I think the Asian culture they are commenting about is Korean. That ending was ridiculous, "it was all a channnging video!"

I agree bad art is bad.

Slightly off topic here.

What are your thoughts on the Vikings pwning the Cheeseheads with their own guy?

Sweet a new episode. Haven't watched it yet, but, I wanted to ask if you're going to Fallcon this Weekend, Linkara?

I'll have a table there. ^^

Cool, looking forward to finding you there. Anychance you'll do a special episode on Fallcon?

Between the burping nurses in Silent Hill 4, the mediocre BOO! SCARY MONSTER POPOUT SCARES in Silent Hill Origins and terribly unscary Silent Hill Homecoming, I've lost hope in this series. Even Resident Evil fails to scare. All that's left is F.E.A.R. for our video game horror fixes.

I already commented on the AT4W blog, but I again wanted to say how great a review this is. I really loved the Michael Moore jokes. Matter of fact, here's one of my favorites:

Q: Michael Moore, Glenn Beck, and Rush Limbaugh get in a fight to the death. Who wins?

A: The American people.

The artwork... good God, it looks like something Charles Addams drew after having a stroke! The weird mega-jaw Troy has around the 9:20 mark is unbelievably disturbing and hilarious at the same time. I can't wait to see what horrors will be unleashed with the next three issues...

I bet you thought President Bush was the bees knees.

Ooooo dear. Ooooo dear oh dear.

WHEN is it going to be learned that making lines cross from one medium to the other does NOT work?! (Proven again in the Star Trek comics)

Great work Linkara thanks for giving the background on the comics you review, especially for those who may not have a solid or even bare knowledge of chars involved. I'm starting to pick up on Catwoman myself

Keep up the fantastic work! You're the only real comic reviewer who does it right, and do it right indeed :kiss:

EDIT: Re: The hug sound affect - You just know that, if that were written in kanji and this were a manga, that wouldn't be out of place. But in English and in a Chopping Block-esque (artwise) comic? Stands out like a fat feminist in a cheerleader lineup

So why not bulldoze Silent Hill and put up real estate?

POLTERGEIST.

Oh, Silent Hill, what have they done to you...?

Actually, though, that's true about white being death in Asia, in fact in almost all of the cultures (but especially, of course, China and Japan)--thus, they were white at funerals. It doesn't make it any less stupid, though, that he leaps to that conclusion.

the 50th episode already?! Yay! :woohoo:

It would be pushing it to call that a stylized art style. It is so consistent, and just downright UGLY at some points. I don't think I would pay for that.

Nice review. I am in the same camp as you, love the series, haven't touched the games. Hope to play them eventually. Looking forward to the next parts.

:X

This comic makes me ill.

Happy 50th episode!!! :cheer: and a great one at that. Can't wait for the next episode. But hey, why don't you like Michael More? Do you know something I don't?

Great vid. You are one of the most consistently entertaining reviewers I've seen. Love the series. Cant wait for the next part. :D

Congrats on your 50th episode! Keep em coming!

I thought the artwork looked more like a Dave McKean ripoff (huge Neil Gaiman fan). I don't know much about comic artists, and even I think the stuff for this Silent Hill monstrosity is bad.
I love your comment on a demonic Dakota Fanning, but that little evil spawn girl in the Silent Hill comic isn't scary. Fanning's character of Jane fron New Moon is scarier than that.
Keep up the great work Linkara. I'm a huge fan of yours.

Fanning in general is scarier than that.

holy shit the art work is bad

they had a few ideas that were interesting but I rather play the games

I just died a little inside, why do that to Silent Hill?!
3 more you say?
Interesting... bring on the crap!

The artwork reminds me of "Scary Stories to tell in the dark".
Plus, maybe some cool monsters would make this comic have a bright spot. I liked the 'special needs' monster!

Congratulations Silent hill dying inside, you managed to scare me...it wasn't the comic that scared me no no no...it was the artwork I KID YOU NOT I mean the Dead Space comic was great and you can see the good artwork there "sort of"
but wow, I have never been startled at certain points where you show different pages, i mean...why are they so deformed??? It startled the hell out of me. (I saw the review in full screen)

and there are 3 "shuddering" 3 issues left...GOOD LORD!!!

I don't know but some of the images of that little girl is...just creepy...

As for the color thing i have heard that in ancient Egypt black was the color of life and white symbolized death.

In case your wondering it has to do with agriculture. The blacker the soil is the richer it is and the better it is for growing things. When soil is very pale it means that it has very little nutrients in it and therefore isn't good for farming.

"Put on this clown outfit and call me Darryl." I am definitely gonna use that line the next time I try to pick up a woman.

At first I kind of liked the art work, but as it went on... WTF is up with the little girl?
