KISS Comics

NOTE: Yes, I know, I mispronounce Norwich at the end. Also, yes, it says "Giacomo" and not "Glacomo." I somehow saw it wrong.

Is it just me, or did Linkara's fortuneteller voice sound like Gru from Despicable Me?
Also, why did Ensign Monrooooooooooooooooe look so damn short in the title card?
-
03.01.2011 - 00:07 | SpeedyEric
It looks like Lt. Monroooooooe is standing behind the others.

OH 90s Kid.......no...just no...put that shovel down young man and go back to your Sega!
lol, I recall I was in a Hy-Vee store one time when I was younger and I saw a Kiss comic book with a wierd girl named "Kismet" in it, and then later on I remember they did a special comic book written in blood or it looked like it was written in blood. So I am kinda courious to see if these two are the comic books you are reviewing. If I find out it isn't that is still cool, it will still be good either way :D
-
lol....great job Linkara, for someone who understandly isn't up on KISS as much as Todd in the Shadows is you pulled out a great and funny review out of this comic :D

I agree, that particular statement was just begging for a Phantom of the Opera reference. To easy I suppose...
Also, just so you know, Giacomo(which is James in Italian)is actually pronounced Jaaa-KA-moe.
In all seriousness though, great review Linkara, and the Todd cameo was a very nice suprise.
P.S. I really hope someone was able to talk 90's Kid out of digging up Kurt Cobain.

Also, Wicked Lester is the name they used before settling on KISS.

You will curse the day you did not do
all that the Phantom asked of you.

Hey Linkara, there is this Marvel comic book I remember a long time ago called "Saint Sinner" you should review. My brother brought it a long time ago and one day I snuck a peek at it, man it was messed up.
Clive Barker also had a hand in making the comic book
It starts out with a simple easy storyline of a teenage boy starting to hear voices in his head and become possessed by a evil force that makes him kill his friends (and it implies he raped and murder a cheerleader too but it doesn't show it) and then when it makes him try to murder his mom and dad, he backs out and tries to drown himself and then gets saved by a angel in the form of a black woman who he in return "thanks her" by choking her to death.
But that is not the f--ked up part.Later on, it sort of double-crosses you into this confusing, wierd splashpage of a exposition involving creepy souls and outer-body experience storylines that make no sense and finally when you have enough brainpower to wrap your head around it it turns out the boy is possessed by both a demon and a angel. If you ever get the chance to you should definitely review it someday. :)

I'm a huge KISS fan and even I can't find anything to like about these shitty comics.
Great video Lewis! :D

02.28.2011 - 21:33 | Crossover Princess
Got those comics made no sense, I agree. I had no idea what the hell was going on.
Also I think I'm now afraid of 90's Kid... what he said about digging up Kurt Cobain was really disturbing.
-
03.01.2011 - 00:05 | SpeedyEricI didn't understand the comics either. But hey, at least ther're not the Warrior comics. Am I right?

Well, I guess Linkara's lack of KISS knowledge explains why he didn't mention Gene Simmons' son Nick Simmons deciding to break out as a pro comic artist last year...And then immediately being exposed as a plagiarist who ripped off several panels & story bits from Bleach (dated reference anyway). Apparently crappy comics kind of run in the family!
Linkara's endorsement of "God Gave Rock 'n' Roll To You II" (it's actually a cover) does indeed confirm that he has kickass taste in music. ROCK ON.
'90s Kid being cued upon "Nirvana reunion": Classic. XD
Linkara + Todd: Always great to see two of my favorite reviewers here together. And don't worry Todd, there are plenty more crappy comics starring musicians you can cover...Anyone for a Punisher/Eminem crossover?
Wait, masterthecreater tried to take over the world once? DAMMIT, we have been DA friends for over a year or two now, & he hasn't even told me about this once, let alone let me help out!! Where is the friendship, man? He is SO not getting that sweet VP position now when I take over the world!
Also, while I should post this on your blog, is it too late to suggest "Megadoomer" for the spaceship's name (Zim for the win)?
-
02.28.2011 - 21:49 | jjflashOuch Link! You got dissed by a guy who reviewed Hannah Montana products.
Might as well put a paper bag of shame over your head now. LOL
But seriously, who the hell would use a KISS coffin...?
Ok, I take that one back. I probably will use a KISS coffin when I shuffle off the coil.
-
03.01.2011 - 02:26 | GoobianThe coffin is for display purposes. Like if you have a club or a bar with a place to display it. It actually has a button to play a KISS song even though I don't know which one or if you can choose. There was a Drew Carey episode years ago where he accidentally ordered one online on a discounted coffins website instead of a tasteful one for his Dad lol. When the coffin was slowly being lowered in, it pushed the button and the music played.
-
03.01.2011 - 15:55 | DarkBeeNot quite, Dimebag Darrell was actually buried in one.
-
03.06.2011 - 16:28 | ladydisketteI remember a MadTV episode where they did a "Halloween Spectacular" guest staring KISS that was the best holiday sketch show episode I have ever watched :D

Great, funny review! Although I have to say, I think you were a little harsh on Psycho Circus; it actually seemed fairly intriguing. That said, I'd agree that those completely-not-taking- themselves-seriously comics by Marvel look much better!
Oh, and ToddInTheShadows was great. XD
-
02.28.2011 - 21:53 | M.Seijin
....Right. Magic Voice, energise photon torpedos and lock on to "Tod in the Shadows". FIRE!
-
02.28.2011 - 22:05 | JRodHacker
Please tell me there is a Bob Seger comic! X)

This comic can kiss my ass

"KISS is nothing but death and crime and the rage of a beast!"
-
03.01.2011 - 00:03 | SpeedyEricI just realized something. If "Batman: Fortunate Son" was actually "Batman vs. KISS," it would probably be a little better.
-
03.01.2011 - 08:24 | KariThey'd probably totally endorse that sentiment, actually.
-
02.28.2011 - 22:14 | mcgovernttNice work, as per usual. I am surprised though at two things:
1.) You didn't make a reference to "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy" during the Psycho Circus comic (then again maybe you thought that would be just too much "Who" for one month)
2.) You didn't make any reference to the Ultimate Warrior's comics during the 4K comic, as both consist of "EXTREME" artwork and pretentious codswallop posing as a "deep story".
-
02.28.2011 - 22:21 | SeaSloth
another great review
-
02.28.2011 - 22:22 | boredomstartshere
I would TOTALLY buy the KISS 4000...does it come in red?
-
02.28.2011 - 22:26 | Fighting in the War Room
Thoughts on second comic:
...what...was...um...erm. ..
[brain shuts down]

Talk about a mind fuck :p

02.28.2011 - 22:35 | hirakata_jen
I thought you had pronounced Norwich correctly until I realized you were talking about the English city, not the tiny town in upstate New York that no one's ever heard of.

Kiss is Awsome.
Kiss comics......NEEEEAAAAHHHH !!!!!
-
02.28.2011 - 22:44 | DanManKISS is awesome, but these comics... "what"?
Oh 90s Kid, that was so disturbing. I know your theme song is Smells Like Teen Spirit, but that was *shivers*
-
02.28.2011 - 22:45 | Zydrate
A Nirvana reunion sounds interesting, a Ramones reunion also sounds great. Or how about a Lynardskynard reunion!
-
02.28.2011 - 23:47 | Dark Jak
Skynard has been touring for the over the last 20 years. Their reunion was back in '87 and they have been touring ever since
-
02.28.2011 - 23:55 | ZydrateMy bad. Thanks for the info.
-
02.28.2011 - 23:58 | SpeedyEricI also like Katy Perry.
-
03.01.2011 - 00:54 | NintendoFanboy
Not to mention he willingly exposed himself to the Hannah Montanna movie. Twice. You don't get to throw any stones, Todd.
-
03.01.2011 - 01:43 | Shinigami
Indeed Todd is last person who was right to laugh at Linkara. Liking from Katy Perry song is bad enough but when you add there watching that Hannah Montana movie twice its even worse.
-
03.01.2011 - 10:30 | PurplePantherGirl
The Nostalgia Critic watches movies like Garbage Pail Kids twice or more in order to do a review. Todd was doing the same.
-
03.03.2011 - 20:34 | NintendoFanboyI know, I'm just jokin' around. Todd is still awesome, but my inner Linkara fanboy flared up for a minute there.
-
02.28.2011 - 23:42 | HeartBurnKid"But seriously, who the hell would use a KISS coffin...?"
Dimebag Darrell from Pantera, for one.
-
03.01.2011 - 00:00 | SpeedyEricDrew Carey accidently ordered a KISS coffin for his father in "The Drew Carey Show."
-
03.01.2011 - 00:38 | Lucia32You mean that's not just a rumor? He really did get buried in an official KISS coffin?
-

The Horror!
I mean My god! You have reviewed a number of bad Comics in the past, but these two take the cake!
They werent even trying to tell a story
they just assume the reader would go with whatever BS they came up with
well anyway regarding that biding autions
are the cards going to be sign by you and your creator, pple will bid a lot more money if you do
assumin that you were serious about the aution
-
03.01.2011 - 01:58 | Linkara
I'd love to do so, but the problem is that the prints would first have to be shipped overseas to me, signed, and then shipped out again. I don't know how familiar you are with the UK's postal service, but from experience it isn't all that fun and it takes quite a while. ^^;
-
It sucks. I hate having to use it, I mean they're great at offloading responsibility, a package from Manchester to Spokane arrives in 5 days flat, but the other way around takes double, sometimes even triple that! Work that out!
-
02.28.2011 - 23:53 | Apac
As a Comic book fan AND an aspiring comic book artist I just have one thing to say to Todd in the Shadows... YOU'RE EFFIN' AWESOME.
Also, can I have your autograph? *giggles*
-
02.28.2011 - 23:53 | xen999
Hey guys, if I've never touched a comic book in my life and want to start reading Green Lantern, what book should I start with (for things to make sense to me that is)? Mostly interested in modern GL too.
-
03.01.2011 - 00:05 | ApacMMM that's kind of a hard one, modern Green Lantern has a LOT of backstory, but I think you'll be fine reading REBIRTH of Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver, It was the first Lantern solo book I read and hooked me right away (It has a lot of glimpses of the past but it's a retcon so is a good starting point in my opinion).
After that if you're interested I really recommend you read Sinestro Corps War, it's definitely one of the best events of DC (and one very self contained in just a couple of titles). Everything that happens next is just for fans, the Blackest Night althou very cool is pretty much fan service.
Hope I helped

Have you seen Green Lantern: First Flight?
-
02.28.2011 - 23:58 | Angelic Plague
I wanna hear Todd do a cover of Linkara's theme.
-
02.28.2011 - 23:57 | SpeedyEricI also don’t know much about KISS. I’m more into the most interesting performer(s) I come across in my lifetime.
Thanks for the history lesson, Todd. BTW, that laugh sounds like it belongs to The Joker.
10:52- At least 90s Kid’s not holding the BFG during his moment.
I should get myself a KISS 4000 sometime. =)
16:01- Weirdest. Orgy. Ever.
21:13- And “I’m” the lord of the harvest. (“Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2” joke.)
In speaking of Image Comics, I look forward to your review of the first issue of Spawn (aka, the only Image character I have any knowledge of because of the live action film from 1997).
