For the Ninja dance you should have used the music from the TMNT 2 Movie: Vanilla Ice's "Go Ninja" song!

He's used that before. :whistle:

YES! Linkara is finally back! Now we can get back to good ol' AT4W!

"I love my dead, gay son. Ahhhhhh!" Nice!

But I think the dancing, over padded ninja takes the cake. I wanna see more of HIM!

Great review, Linkara! Glad that you're back! Keep it up, I love your videos!

He came back last week. Where were you?

Maine, thank you very much.

But seriously, he CAME back last episode. In this one, he's doing the review himself, which is way cooler. It was fun at first with different "people", but then it got annoying.

The last four episodes were good...but not great, like most of Linkara's videos.

I'm surprised he didn't let his (half-hearted) Cable persona host this one.

Lobster?

Maine, as a state with the ocean on one side of it, does a lot of fishing. Hence, lobster.

Such a 90's comic. But, where was 90's Kid? I say he's been abducted and will be replaced by a Shade in disguise. How will we we know? He'll have a goatee. THE MARK OF EVIL!

Just like Evil Spock!

Evil Spock has a goatee, while Good Spock does not.

Congratulations on saying what was already said.

I thought Evil Spock had gaudy eyeliner.

EDIT: Whoops. No, that was Evil Kirk.

He's still playing Justice League Task Force.

Ha! Of course!

Good review. Must say I'm glad to see a return to the 'normal' style.

Sigh…… I wanted to pick up the Cable Classic TPBs, but these first two issues make me not want to. Great review though!

I gotta say that I like Stryfe though. He's got a cool look, and I even have his action figure!

Which Cable stories do you prefer?

Glad to see you back, sir.

Great to have Linkara back in top form! Something that use both technology and magic? OMG the shades are powered by the zeo crystals!

No!! That can't be! If the shades have the Power Rangers on their side ... :0

All is lost :(


Seriously though, a nice review Linkara. This one made me laugh more than usual, which is always a good thing. My favorite parts were probably Dan Green's cameo, the Ninja Style Dancer, and the Cube's revenge.

By the way, would you say that two-page spreads you have to turn on the side are your biggest pet peeve with comics in general? If so, this must have been really painful for you. I'm pretty sure this one has the most out of any comic you have reviewed so far.

I am so happy to have my good ol' AT4W back, that I have written a Haiku to celebrate it.

Linkara missing :0
Depression was taking root :(
Now I want to live! :woohoo:

And somebody commented on a Spoony review recently that Spoony's theme song is the best one on Channel Awesome.

[b][/b]NO F-ING WAY

Linkara's theme song is easily the best. Some days, it is in my head and I have no choice but to make its lyrics my Facebook status, much to the confusion of most of my FB Friends.

Except for KingGramJohnson. He knows what's up.

Thank you, DrMike07!

Film Brain music FTW!!!!

Dude! Shoulder pads are awesome! Ninja-Style Dancer's shoulder pads make him look like a handegg player, though. Those kinds of shoulder pads are OK for mooks, but unique characters need unique and huge shoulder pads that look like leather upholstery.

That was a rather bland episode to kick-off the show's return to it's usual format... not bad, just kinda bland.

For me, "Goo goo g'joob" makes up for that.

welcome back Linkara! Love your vids!

Okay, so according to the list on the TGWTG wiki, this is #90. The next episodes are as follows:

91) 7/19 – The California Raisins 3-D #2
92) 7/26 – Hardcore Station #1
93) 8/2 – The Others #1
94) 8/9 –PSA Hell: The Amazing Spider-Man: Skating on Thin Ice #1
95) 8/16 –Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force
96) 8/23 – Action Comics #592
97) 8/30 – Action Comics #593
98.) 9/6 – Top 15 Comics I’ll Never Review
[u][i][b]99) 9/13 – 100th Episode [/b][/i][/u]

I'm confused. Does the list have a proper episode listed as a special? Is this intentional? Is one number listed twice in the list of aired episodes? Or did you just miscount?

This was the 91st episode. I accidentally forgot to number Freak Force, so I had been quoting the numbers wrong when I kept saying them.

EDIT: Just double-checked the wiki and talked to Cferra - the Top 15 Missed Opportunities was labeled as a special, but it's an episode. So, yeah, otherwise everything's good. ^^

Oh, and great comeback episode BTW. It had me in stitches. Sorry if this is coming off as an afterthought, but the #100th episode thing had me kind of miffed. I can't wait to see what you've planned, though; it's sure to be awesome.

Oh Rob Liefeld how your creations continue to plague the Comic world like Cancer (except Deadpool he's awesome).

Simply put.... :silly: and :D with a dash of ;) pretty well explains this episode.

Though I have to say....as an ardent stargate fan, you missed a perfect joke at the beginning with the Egypt reference.

Maybe you're just not an SG-1 follower. It's alright. Even though it's better than Star Wars, I forgive you.

*prepares for massive thumbs down for dissing Star Wars* :unsure:

In my world they rate about on par. There is love enough for all!

P.S. Also, en masse is pronounced on mass, not enn maas. 'Tis cribbed from the French, ask Benzaie.

Lol. Your world sounds fuuuunnnnnn :silly:

Naw, but really, it is simply a personal preference. Star Wars is "meh" to me. Stargate is :woohoo: :cheer: :!: and :idea: to me.

I cannot explain it beyond referencing the episode "Lifeboat" to show how kick A$$ that series can get.

Still, much respect to anyone who can find the good in star wars. That person is obviously more intelligent than I. (no sarcasm)

Dan Green actually worked on this comic? :shock:

Of course! With 4Kids's stocks in the toilet, he has to make money SOMEHOW.


Seriously though, there's a TON of people named Dan Green. Just searching for his name on Wikipedia brings back 9 results!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Dan_Green

How the Hell was Pyramid Head going to review something? All he does is slice people with giant knives and rape things.

He thought it would give him credit for originality in reviewing.

He doesn't even speak. He just make weird growling sounds.

I recently started watching your videos and just finished watching all of them yesterday. Even for someone who doesn't really read comics like me, I still find your reviews very entertaining and funny.

Since I noticed you actually respond to your comments, I wanted to ask something: I remember you said you didn't review manga yet because you hadn't found one bad enough. This got me curious - do you read manga frequently and if so what are some of your favorites?

Anyway, keep up the good work! :cheer:

I don't I'm afraid, though I continue to hope that another volume of Steam Detectives will come out, since that's my favorite.

that spine piano part was the best :D

oh, and great review linkara! i look forward to much more.

I actually want to see pyramid head host an episode it wouldn't make any sense but it would be funny :woohoo:

cable was good on the show because he kept his frickin mouth shut for the most part and actually you know... did stuff

but as this episode explains the comic sucks

Simply put.... :silly: and :D with a dash of ;) pretty well explains this episode.

Though I have to say....being the ardent stargate fan I am, I must point out, you missed a perfect joke at the beginning with the Egypt reference.

Maybe you're just not an SG-1 follower. It's alright. Even though it's better than Star Wars, I forgive you.

*prepares for massive thumbs down for dissing Star Wars* :unsure:

So, Linkara, do you think that Vise or however you spell this new evil dudes name has access to an alternate version of the Zeo crystal except that its, you know evil?

Shouldn't Pyramidhead be in a poke-ball, or is this ANOTHER one from the comic that had too many of them? (seriously, somehow I want to blame the Jackal for that.)

Oh, and I think I can actually explain the cloak draping. I suspect the artist didn't have to draw several semesters worth of really boring still life, learning how fabric falls, in excruciating detail (augh, flashbacks). It's like the spikes on the shoulders are meant to be holding it up- only no cloth works like that except plaster-gauze.

I HAVE seen the two page spread work. In the Doll's House from Sandman- a dream sequence is put on its side, allowing two things- an implied separation from the real world, and the Dreaming wound up looking more lofty than it otherwise could have. The rest of the series uses the technique sparingly, and generally to decent effect, so it never bugged me.

My comics pet peeve is similar, though. I hate it when you can't quite tell right away how you're supposed to read something. At least the flippy-pages are clear. I've got some books where it's a two page horizontal spread, only the panels are laid out like it ISN'T so you read the whole thing, realize the dialog made no damn sense, and THEN figure it out. Powers is a repeat offender on that one. (One of those titles that annoys me so much I can't believe I still read it but I do.) Then there's Kabuki. Wonderful series, but trying a little too hard to be avante garde sometimes. The title has often had pages you had to spin around in circles to read, and I had to use a very strong magnification tool, still failing to read large chunks of the thing. If you've ever had to draw a page with reading instructions, you're doing something wrong.

Well, even in Silent Hill 2, there were two Pyramid Heads by the end...

I think you have the math wrong, because in ewoks #9, he said he was on the ship for three days, but he had been gone a month. By the book, Admiral.

I just hoped you would do the Dan Green joke when I saw that page and I'm glad you did. You and LittleKuriboh really should do something together.

We're gonna need a lot more hemp before we're through.

Thank you, good sir. Finally have the numbering correct and looking spiffy. Thanks for the help. Now, it should never need to be fixed again!!!

I should say something about the comic. Oh, Cable...you are one comic character who has definitely changed over the years. From humble beginnings as a 90s character to new age guru. Between him and Bishop, I don't know which X-Man's history was more confusing. And then there's Rachel...

Anyway, the friendly neighborhood wiki be fixed, everyone. =D

Awesome review Linkara, probably the best of the summer.

It's too bad there was never a Cable cartoon on Cable TV.

Sheesh Linkara, couldn't you come back after Pyramid Head got his turn to guest host? That would have been awesome.
