02.08.2011 - 07:44 | Cameron WinterYeah, I also get the feeling that the only reason why Batman doesn't survive the war, is because he'd have just slapped everyone and told them to all stop being idiots... in fact, how come the Joker survives and not Bats? If anyone was going to be prepared for a nuclear war, wouldn't it be Batman?

02.14.2011 - 02:55 | LyricalCowClearly the equation is insanity > radiation. For if one is so insane as to deny the very fabric of reality itself the laws of physics no longer apply to them. (Unless it's an episode of house and you jump off a parking garage because you believe you can fly...touch the sky. Then you're screwed for clearly House's cynism > insanity all of it everywhere.)

02.15.2011 - 09:16 | Dragon_NexusThat's kinda my theory on why Megatron always comes out on top. He is so completely convinced at his own awesomeness and superiority that reality can't work out a way of arguing against him, and simply warps itself to comply with what he believes.
This seemed especially to be the case in the game War for Cybertron.

Man, the intro o this episode is just …EPIC!!!!! And as always, it’s nice to see Ensign, (clearing thought) sorry, I mean Lieutenant Monrooooooooooooo. =)
The giant cat Supes is riding on the cover looks like it belongs to He-Man.
6:11- It would have been better if he wrote a journal after he FOUGHT Doomsday.
10:23- I just had the weird realization that this comic is the @$$h0le’s version of “I Am Legend.”
13:42- Guy Gardner in this panel looks like he’s been infected with Youngblood’s Disease after the apocalypse.
It’s been a long time since you did the Time Warp joke.
I also don’t believe that Clark and Diana should be together. There will always be Lois and Clark. They’re like Romeo and Juliet, or Peter and Mary Jane (screw you, Joe Quesada).
24:44- Also, the torrent tower in Marvel City looks like it should be a G.I. Joe playset.
28:39- Well said, Lewis. Well said. Also, if someone wants to destroy an entire planet, they should use either a Death Star or a drop of Red Mater from J. J. Abrams’ “Star Trek.”
When ever I get around to it, I’ll buy a copy of, and read, Kingdom Come.
Only one week left until the Lord Vyce finale. I can’t wait.

At least we got "I AM A MAN!!!" *punch* from that.

Dude, all the Supes/Wondy romance crap in EVERY SINGLE FLIPPING ELSEWORLDS pisses me way the hell off. I mean, their personalities just do not mesh like that at ALL. I seriously cannot see anything other than friendship between them — casual physical attraction yeah, but married? Lois and Diana are really, really, REALLY different in personality, and it's very hard for me to imagine someone who goes so perfectly together with Lois having any chemistry with Wondy. And Clark's a flipping farm kid turned city reporter without an ancient-civilization- related, warrior-like, or mystical bone in his body — does no one ever stop to wonder what the female partner might want in a man, or is OMG SUPERMAN supposed to be all the justification needed? Because Diana never seems to have any obvious prerogative in these situations — it's just that single goddamn time Lois gets pushed out of the equation, they get smacked into each other like a pair of magnets for no reason whatsoever with Diana immediately shacking up with Supes with no buildup or rationale, which gives off nasty implications like Wondy is secretly a depraved stalker lurking around waiting for Lois to get killed so she can jump Clark's bones. Ugh it's just so over-utilized and yet shallowly developed that it just makes me groan every time the pairing gets mentioned.
I couldn't even get mad at the Captain Marvel dickery because it comes right the hell of out flipping NOWHERE. I can't even make a connection to Captain Marvel here because nothing CM related even has a chance to get shown. It's like the writer has never read a single comic issue in which CM appeared in his life. For no reason whatsoever, he's suddenly an insane douchenozzle who wants to Take Over The World (TM) over...ugh...a woman. Women as devices to prod the male characters in the direction of the plot AGAIN. This comic doesn't suck in the intense and jaw-droppingly crappy way Earth's End did — it's just lame, dumb, and bizarre with no other substance.

Screen direction. Its been a problem for alot of your great videos. if you are on the left side of the screen and you cut to someone else; make sure they are standing on the right of the screen. You look to the right of the screen and he looks to the left..........If I sound sarcastic I am sorry, just something that may help

The worst Silver Age comic I ever read was at least more true to the established characters than this crap is.

I do prefer it when you keep the story to a minimum and you review non-PSA/Comics like Care Bears.
Good review! Again, this is why I prefer DCAU.

How about Red Son? Wherein Superman's rescue capsule land in Soviet Russia instead of Kansas and he becomes there champion. Who will fight tor True Justice and the American way? It's no big surprise that Lex Luthor must rise to the challenge; nor is the fact that he is just generally out matched against the Man of Steel. What is a surprise however is the Twist ending of the ark which serves a a Major Screw-You to the readers.

02.08.2011 - 00:59 | Argol228A few things came to my mind while watching this
1. Why didn't you use "I don't want to set the world on fire" by the Ink spots
2. The first part made me want to play Fallout 3/NV
3. Why is piccolo in this comic XD

Stupid comic... Just stupid.
First off the no powers plot. Its magic? Magic has the ability to not only stop Genetic, Technological and Magical abilitys (Ok Magic cancels out magic fair enough) but the chuck norris Magic anti-Powers only activated after a nuclear war? WHAT THE HELL?
Second, Nukes can cause a death star style destruction of Earth? I'm sorry I didn't know that Earh also ran on the light a candel and desroy the planet Battlefeild Earth logic here.
And Linkara. Asmuch as I adore your show, Showing us that your preparing for the final battle with Vyce is cool; But... Now all I want IS the final battle with Vyce -_- Now ill be stalking your RRS feed and blog again because when it comes to awesome stuff like your show I become impatient. STOP BEING SO AWESOME ALL THE TIME!

he fired a GUN at a group of fairly peaceful people who were trying to rebuild some semblance of the society that they lost, just because they were "mutants?" What the FUCK is wrong with this guy?!
I like Martian Manhunter, though I wonder how he got elected president of the survivor village if he wants to make peace with the mutants where all the other people want to kill them like roaches, you'd think a group of violent survivalists wouldn't look to the ONE idealist hippie for guidance.
Also, a bit of nuclear trivia, it is pointless for the military to go through the trouble of making a nuclear bomb with a yield higher than 3 megatons, because then the explosion punches a hole in the atmosphere and all the excess energy is lost to space. Although Tesla was crazy enough to say he could split the earth like an apple using the resonance of several precisely timed and laid down nuclear bombs, but the man also believed he accidentally built an earthquake machine in his lab.

02.08.2011 - 08:26 | catiescarlettI think the firing a gun on them was even worse than that - he fired the gun on them because they were mutants and trying to eat the cat, which yes, would suck for the cat, but seriously Supes, it's after the apocalypse! They need food, and you just stopped them from eating! Talk about Super Dickery!

Read this comic, then try to think about it in any way.
I think Superboy Prime voice was a great touch and very fitting for this train wreck of a comic.
I remember asking my dad how stories like this ever got made and his answer still rings true. "The writers and the editors either don't know what they're doing or they just don't care."
