    For something w/ that many rtard plot points it amazing that the "creators" can still make it a snoarfest xP
    @ least you have a talent for making mindnumbing dull comics funny :lol:
  • DoctorJhon2009
    Neat, a new review. I actually asked this earlier in your other video but Linkara, have you ever heard of Batman vs. Predator comic? I have it and let me tell ya, it makes some of the crappy comics you've reviewed look decent.

    Anyway, keep these coming!

    Haha, I knew it.

    Right when I saw the title, I just knew it my head...

    "This has to do something with Spoony's girlfriend."

    Great review and Dunkelkinder is German and translate to "dark children".
  • Matthew G  - re:
    While it is true that "dunkel" (as an adjective) means "dark" and "kinder" means "children", it could just as well mean "Kinder des Dunkels" because "das Dunkel" means "the dark(ness)", so it could mean "children of the dark(ness)" as well. It's not really clear.

    Oh yeah, Poison, there's a real metal band :pinch:

    Man, what a dull dull dull comic. Sorry your butt hurts.
  • adrasl300
    Well glam metal...I guess.

    Yeah, this is the sort of book I could read in a few minutes and forget what it was about in the next few minutes.
    Too bad the Brass Age was littered with them--and boy!, are such books litter!
    Also, good for pointing out the horrid art style. DC's pseudo-Vertigo books (the books that weren't surreal enough to be Vertigo) usually employed artists who tried to make the books look like Vertigo books, but it really made them banal. Better to stand out than to look generic, I say.
    Great review as always Linkara!
    (And look! first page! Woot! Such an honor! ...sorry, had to do it. B) )

    Fun review Linkara! It tickles me that Scarlett had a comic with her name as the title :D

    Dunkelkinder means dark children, but it doesn't make any sense in german.
  • Heymlich
    avatar
    I think this part is some kind of try to make a word sound kryptic.

    Why should they use english words that makes a little bit of sense, when they can use german words and create nonsense?

    At first I does´nt even realise, that ist said "dunkelkinder" because of the diffrent pronunciation between german and (american) english.

    Vampire Megatron WOULD be kick-ass.

    But not zombie megatron.

    lol There's a supernews cartoon with a Megatron vampire.
  • JIWelles
    I'm realy surprised of how many appearances Batman or the Batlogo have in this comic eventhough it's published by Marvel. Hasn't DC ever made a point out of it legally? :0
  • Linkara
    avatar
    Nope, this one's a DC comic.
  • JIWelles
    After a second run of the episode, (which isn't a punishment at all), I saw that you were right. I mixed up the cover to Nightcat with that of Scarlett...

    Actually, the anime [b][u]Devil Hunter Yohko[/u][/b], also about a teenage slayer of monsters, came out 2 years before the first Buffy movie.
    [img=http:// images.absoluteanime.com/ devil_hunter_yohko/ index.jpg][/img]
    So now you know...
  • Remake_Trap
    While you're right about that this has more in common with Buffy then that anime; DHY is about a girl who comes from a long line of demon hunters where both this and buffy feature valley girl teenage cheerleaders who are totally unaware that they are "special".
  • Shadowdancer21b

    Yohko hunted demons though, not vampires. Get with the times.

    Mamono Hunter Youko was way too short. A pitty.
  • whitewolfos111  - Nice one!
    Hilarious as always, Linkara!

    I am surprised that there wasn't many Twilight jokes >> But the Batman ones made up for it.

    "It then dawns on her that her parents are dead! But now she can become Batman and avenge them, as well as cementing a hatred for rock and roll."

    Genius XD

    That was pretty bad. Also... why would the cop just randomly shoot someone in the head who's obviously a burn victim? Uuuh, my head hurts even thinking about it. Maybe I should do some of that comic book training as well with The Linkara 10-Minute Training Program as seen on AT4W.

    Eck, this comic is full of dull and pointless subplots that will bore anyone to death esp. with its awful art.

    This comic is [i]OUT OF ORDER[/i]!!
  • thekhan

    Hey Linkara, have you read What If? Secret Invasion, in there a guy says "I am a man" (or starts to say it but gets interrupted)
  • thelaughingfool
    avatar
    This is kind of embarrassing, but I didn't recognize the opening music until my second time through. Even worse, I was actually beginning to look for it, and I DO NOT want to be associated in any way with Buffy.
    Also, how could you miss the "Lost Boys" refrences? A biker gang of vampires, seems pretty obvious.
  • DakotaCruz
    My guess, without googling, is that this comic is from the mid to late 90s

    it has that pungent smell!

    I went through the entire review and I am still surprised this was allowed to go to merchandisers. That's is really bad when there's not at least a coherent plot to follow and the promise of seeing the main character(s) in action are denied. This is actually my first post and I have been following your series for a while here ever since Sci spy #1. I hope I am not being to pushy with this question but is there a reason bad (good with Blue Beetle) superhero comics are the only ones so far evaluated. I mean I am glad to know which superhero comics to stay away from but I was wondering if there has been a bad comic not involving superheroes that is just plain horrible? Anyway that was what I wondered and continue to gain strength and patience because you'll need it to review these bad comics.
  • Linkara

    Since the majority of comic books are related to superheroes, it's easier to find bad comics relating to them. However, if I were to look at the list of episodes I've done...

    -SCI Spy #1
    -Godzilla vs. Barkley
    -Star Trek #1
    -Neutro #1 (doesn't count because he ISN'T a superhero despite the comic's protests)
    -World of Warcraft #2-3
    -The Marriage of Hercules and Xena #1
    -Air Raiders #1
    -Mickey Mantle #2
    -Adventures of the Kool-Aid Man
    -Silent Hill: Dying Inside #1-5
    -Doom #1
    -Bimbos in Time #1
    -James Bond Jr. #3

    There we go, fifteen reviews that deal with characters who aren't superheroes out of the 64 episodes I've done. Admittedly, not THAT many, but it does happen. ^_^

    I suppose that the Kool-Aid Man would like to think he's a superhero. His power? Teleporting behind walls and then breaking through them!
  • danskrobut  - curious
    i wonder if the cult has poker mondays??? also protect your chicken from dokken lol sorry couldn't help myself

    whoo hooo
  • Matthew G
    Linkara, I would tell you that [i]Dunkelkinder[/i] isn't a real word. It's german - [i]dunkel[/i] means [i]dark[/i], [i]kinder[/i] means [i]children[/i] and if you pronunce it in german it doesn't sound goofy but it still makes no sense, but you said "check the comments" and I noticed that other people already explained it (like 4 times in 26 comments).

    BUT I DID IT ANYWAY HAH!

    Because he wasn't really a cop, he was that mental looking guy from the cover.

    ... Was that Batman and Catwoman at the Halloween party!?

    Brilliant. I laughed out loud at the beercan gag.

    Y'see, the trick is to put the bottom of the can on your forehead, and crush vertically.

    So, in conclusion, this video doesn't suck. More than that, it's a worthy edition of AT4W.

    Excelsior!
  • Tylor
    Loved the review. But I hate to say it I actually liked that comic when I was a kid. But then again I got it out of the quarter bins at the local comic shop so that should have shown the quality of it. Looking back the comic was bad, very bad.
