The wheels of Fate keep on Turnin'

so shouldn't that be "The wheels of fat"

Well this comic IS heart crushingly bad

You cannot pass unless you have the Wheels of Fate!

I think it was a good idea that you didn’t review the Marvel Superhero Island comic. I haven’t yet been to the Islands of Adventure part of Universal Orlando (I know, sad), but it DOES seem awesome, and the Hulk rollercoaster and Spider-Man 3D ride look really cool.
It’s a good idea that you decided to go back to the continuation to one of your earliest reviews since SCI Spy and “Superman: At Earth’s End.”

3:14- Next to the Bat-vehicles, AWESOMEST. SUPERHERO VEHICLE. EVAH!

9:25- This is like if Wolverine’s cage fight in the first X-Men film is incredibly lame. I say this because Wolvie used the head-butt as the finishing move to his last opponent, and his entire skeleton is covered in anomantium.

Midnight looks like she’s wearing Huntress’s early costume, but with a jacket, jeans, no cape, and her staff is replaced with a futuristic version of Indiana Jones’ whip.

13:30- It’s like Nostalgia Chick and Obscurus Lupa fighting over ToddInTheShadows, but instead of Todd, is a trucking superhero.

15:06- Linkara, wait, you’re picking up The Entity’s signal! DON’T LOSE IT!
15:11- NO YOU FOOL, YOU DOOMED US ALL!

I felt that Midnight would have defeated U.S. the same way Batman did with The Joker in the chase scene in “The Dark Knight” (semi vs. motorbike).

I also like comics that are Power Rangers kind of fun. Can wait to see what a Twilight Zone comic is like.

I still like that Six Million Dollar Man joke.

I heard that since Disney bought Marvel, Universal has to shut down their Marvel park because Disney wants to make one. so now the Marvel Theme park is gonna be one of the Disney World Parks. I also heard that with the extra space left over where the Marvel park used to be, Universal is gonna extend the Harry Potter section and just make that it's own entire park. but that's just a rumor I heard.

And according to wikipedia, it's an incorrect rumor - Disney said they'd honor the contracts Marvel had made, including with Universal Studios.

Where did you get that clip of two cats fighting?

Did you get that off the internet or did you get lucky one day and see two stray cats fighting with each other and decided to tape it for the review?

oh, ok. cool. kind of a bummer that they won't make a whole Harry potter park instead of just a section-of-a-park, but at least the Marvel Park gets to stay.

I work for Disney (low level) and confirm this. We sell marvel toys and comics and stuff but the contract giving exclusive rights to theme park themeing will be held by universal at least until the contract runs out and everything gets discussed again. Even my comic book guy's wife works with that specific subject and said as much.

And the Harry Potter section is on the complete opposite side of the park, so extending it to take over the Marvel Island wouldn't exactly make sense.

This comic doesnt suck.. its just boring the fact that ucan keeps peopil attion for 20 mins shows real talent u should be proud good man... also linkara how would u feel about a green latern comic where he talks about aids intersted...? also on personal note i can't wait till linkara gets to power rangers R.P.M it has my fav red rangers after the end of the zordon era whast yoru fav season also i cant wait till u see how theyruined bulks characters on samuri

Its not just a chuck... omg its going to take the hole world.. where is the hal jordon when u need him

Destroying the world while possessed by an intergalactic god-like entity ?

twilight zone next week?

Ooooh a Twilight Zone comic book, this should be a fun and interesting review. :D



Linkara, how can you be blind to the strange things happening around you. People being missing, strange sounds, cryptic messages-LOOK AROUND YOU!!?!??! CAN'T YOU SEE IT!?!? CAN'T YOU SEE IT!?!?!



.......*deadpan* come to think of it this was the same guy who thought that Dr. Insano was a black woman.

T_T

So yeah, we are doomed aren't we?

Also I did some thought drifting of my own while reading this review, wouldn't it be funny if it turned out that US 1's brother was The Highwayman?

And my money is on Mary being Midnight, its always the person you least expect :D

That song where you said "I love this song," hate to put this is anyone's head, but the chorus reminds me of the 80s My Little Pony theme. The rest of it reminds me of Ray Steven's Southern air.


Grrr...Why won't the unfunny stand up comedian lady go away?????

[q]Grrr....why won't the unfunny stand up comedian lady go away????[/q]


Maybe if we are lucky the Entity will eat her too....I have some Pepto-bismal on standby in case he can't digest her properly.

But all my treasure is in One piece?

Great video as Always!!

So...who exactly was Midnight?
Also, are you saving the Entity showdown for Halloween? Cause I can only wait that long.

Still the comic wasn't that bad, especially considering most of the comics you've reviewed in the past few months. It's like a dumb 80's movie in comic form.

Every time I hear that song I think of Futurama. :D Great review Lewis! I loved your Six Million Dollar Trucker thing at the end. Hilarious stuff!

It's not just a piece...well crap, guys

Why is sexual abuse by women OK?
If a hot guy walks into a bar and without asking graps and kisses me, he'd get a very personal enactment of the Nutcracker.
If a hot chick walks into a bar and without asking graps a man and kisses him - he is suppose to count his blessings.
Because men are cerebrally challenged, all-time horny apes and just want it?

Oh man dose TV Tropes have a field day with this one:

http://tvtropes.org/ pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ RapeIsOkWhenItIsFemaleOnM ale

http://tvtropes.org/ pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ AbuseIsOkayWhenItIsFemale OnMale

They did an experiment on that on a What Would You Do segment. Sadly, people did not feel it necessary to step up when they saw a woman abusing her boyfriend or a female tutor hitting on a twelve-year-old boy.

And when they had a man abusing a woman, the time it took for someone to confront the abuser was about a fourth of the time it took for someone to confront the woman abusing the man. One passerby actually sided with the woman!

Sorry to ramble, I just also have a problem with the double standard.

Generally speaking, men are stronger than women. It's just a fact. They have more muscles, more stamina, a higher pain threshold, etc. etc. because they were the hunters who had to travel all over the terrain looking for large beasties to kill with their bare hands, or spears, or sharpened rocks. That's how they evolved.

Therefore, it's a lot more likely that a man can fight off a woman who makes unwanted advances on him, than it is for a woman to fight off a man. So, if a guy really doesn't want a lady making out with him out of nowhere it's pretty easy to maneuver her away from him. If a woman has the same experience, it's much more of an ordeal.

There are exceptions, yes, but overall women = weaker than guys, so it's a lot scarier when a woman is attacked.

Also, in regard to the specific scene of the comic: it's implied that US1 and the Tanya character actually knew each other well enough that the kiss wasn't completely random, and she's just extremely bold in her advances, and had probably been making them for a while.

@ender Thanks for the link

@singitjohnny I agree that males are usually stronger than females. But what good does it do them?
If I take a swing at a man that invades my personal space it would cause quite a different reaction than a man doing the exact same thing to a woman.
I know it is not a central issue in the comic - I am just a big fan of gender equality :)

Great review, I am glad your coming around when it comes to old silly comics.

My God, The Entity invaded the show! Which is surprising sense none of the villains invaded during the show but only after but I digress.

This was a pretty cool comic but for the character to be slightly renamed due to copyright later down the line-_- is just soooooo stupid...why is copyright lately being used as a double edged sword to screw EVEN CONTENT MAKERS!

But on a side note,I did pick up Justice League #1 of the New 52 and I must admit so far I am enjoying everything(and yes I know of the ending of Flashpoint and that the old Universe is Fine) the one thing I don't like is how were spoiled on Cyborgs new character design when he is still Victor Stone in issue one...that's my only minor complaint.

Oh nice, Radiohead is back for more.
These comics are so 80s schlock that it's cute.

They should have the driver from US-1 in ultimate marvel vs capcom 3. I'd totally make him my main character

Even though I am fully expecting the hidden static message during the credits, it always makes me jump a little when it happens.

anyways the comic didn't seem that bad at all, pretty decent really.

you shoulda made a reference to the big motha truckers game somewhere in this review

So US-1 is still around (albeit under a slightly different moniker) in the modern comics??? And popping up in a Deadpool comic, no less. God bless Deadpool!

"It's more than a piece"

You always know the perfect MST3K episodes to reference in your reviews :D While the comic seems pretty fun I really hope that it won't be licensed for a movie anytime soon

"Wants to ride your big-rig" xD

I would've gone with using a clip from Master Ninja I (AKA The Master episode 1). "Hi I'm Max Keller, and this his how I usually leave a bar."

Oh how times and opinions change. So bad that its good kind bad is always better than just plain bad.

Mmh, something tells me that he should get a lead cap. Fewer headaches that way, and having access to various radio channels is not so useful considering he spends most of his time in a truck - which has probably a radio anyways.

And US-1 IN SPACE? What's next? A team-up with Optimus Prime XD ?!

Just thought "wow, not that feministic this time!" But the explanation followed, love it!! Oh and a woman called midnight, being topless in a truck stop... I think I know how she finances her evil plans..

Technically they talked about their jobs first, establishing that the red head looks down on her. Then they established that the red head feels U.S is more attracted to the blonde whom the red head considers inferior.

The characterization is simple and it is to play up the hero while also making the midnight character either have a personal hang up with the hero or for the subversion that the dainty waitress will turn out to be the villain.

also note that the waitress didn't care and it was one sided on the red head's part. I think the question becomes would someone act like that realistically. I'd consider it unrealistic that someone would bash a person straight up like that and let out their grievances but that's just my experience.

I hear Silent Hill :D I approve*

*I'm sure you're life is complete, knowing that you have such confirmation from someone you don't even know XD

Another great review dude! :)
I always look forward to these reviews every Tuesday and will continue to do so! :D

I just got done re-watching all of your old reviews, so this is perfect timing! XD The last truck comic is still fresh in my mind. I didn't even realize it was the same guy in the Deadpool team-up that I read a while back!

Ahh, the CB radio-in-the-head bit.

(I totally picked up radio in my fillings once. No lie. Freaky as all get out!)

Also, "It's more than a piece." YIKES. These messages give me a squirmy cold feeling in my stomach, jeez. So creepy. D:

"I totally picked up radio in my fillings once. No lie. Freaky as all get out!"

Apparently Bobby Fischer yanked out all of his fillings because he thought that the CIA or FBI (I forget which) was using radio signals to follow him through them.

that was a good review Linkara

You know, putting "Stay tuned after the credits" at the end of the credits is a little pointless...
