This one was hilarious! These comics are horrible!

01.02.2009 - 13:01 | Linkara

This is in fact the FIRST Linkaran goodness! Yes, you are beholding my first video review here! XD

12.10.2009 - 19:36 | Mercanto

I love how even Linkara can't be the first to comment on one of his video!

01.02.2009 - 13:08 | cyclopsfan1 - I am taking this was your first video review...

You can see some of the rough spots, but overall this was pretty good. Clone saga seems to be a head ache and I never read any of it, outside of the onslaught tie ins. Did they ever collect that mess in trades or is marvel smart enough not to?

01.02.2009 - 13:13 | Linkara

As far as I know, it was never collected in a trade. Probably because it was three years worth of material, including tie-ins and miniseries, making about... (checks his copies) 160 comics, roughly.

01.02.2009 - 13:15 | cyclopsfan1 - Well they could do it like Onslaught, AoA, and var

Volumes. Still would be a daunting task, though.

01.02.2009 - 13:20 | CroutonsOfDeath - Awesome review, as ever.

Great job Linkara, you always manage to put a smile on my face! I am curious, I'm not much of a reader of Spiderman (You know I'm not much of a comic reader, excepting graphic novels) but I've always loved the character and I'm a fan of the first two movies, and as such I don't have a huge comprehensive knowledge of the series and all of its characters and members of its rogues gallery. Who exactly is the other guy in the suit, with the blue shirt with the spiderman symbol? I've seen him in your top 15 wtf moments and I've seen him in other pictures, but never knew who he was. Just curious, since I've always wondered who that guy was.

01.02.2009 - 13:24 | cyclopsfan1 - croutonsofdeath

He is Ben Reilly and he is the Scarlet Spider. He is a clone of spiderman and even took over for him for a while.

01.02.2009 - 13:53 | JoshuatheAnarchist - duh, Duh, DUH!!!

OK, I've been searching the internet for literally months looking for that exact sound effect to download for my own videos. Please, where'd you get it!?

I wish I could tell you it was some miraculous sound archive, but I recorded the music off of the Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged episode that had it since I couldn't find it, either. XD

01.02.2009 - 13:54 | ThatGuyInTheHeadband - Confusing?

Nice review as always. I hope that we'll see your reviews of Titans #1 and Sci Spy on this site soon.

Which one of them was the clone, anyway? That comic did a bad job of answering the main question, but I'm assuming we do find out.

01.02.2009 - 13:56 | cyclopsfan1 - TGITHB

It was Scarlet but that wasn't until Norman Osborn stabbed him and he decomposes.

01.02.2009 - 14:03 | ThatGuyInTheHeadband - Oh, thx Cycfan and Linkara

That makes sence (kinda)

Oh, and I knew the when the video appeared, but that's because I've been reading Lewis' blog. (Sudenly realizes how little of a life he has)

01.02.2009 - 14:12 | cyclopsfan1 - TGITHB

First rule of the 90's, Don't think about the 90's. Second rule of the 90's, Logic doesn't matter. Third Rule, well there is no third rule, but you get the point.

01.02.2009 - 14:12 | DanManX

Oh man. I'm SO glad I wasn't into Spider-man when this was around. My feeble child brain (at the time...) wouldn't have handled it, and it would have sullied my love for the character. The way the Fox animated series handled it was much better: the final couple episodes of the series, Peter meets versions of himself from other dimensions, and when he sees the Scarlet Spider take his mask off, revealing buzz-cut, bleach blond Ben, Spider-man does a double take and says "I don't even WANT to know what your deal is." I had no idea of it at the time, but I like to think now that it was a subtle nod to the reception of the Clone Saga. :P

You have definitely grown on me, Linkara. I really do look forward to your future videos. Keep up the good work.

01.02.2009 - 15:26 | freemonty

Nice job for a first video! Although you can tell that the later videos are better (go figure), it still cracked me up to hear your [i]NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! !!!!![/i] in hilariously drawn out fashion.

This is where I would tell you something that you can do to improve, but since improvement has already arrived, I'll keep the criticism to myself and say you rock as always. Rock on! ;D

01.02.2009 - 15:30 | freemonty

BTW, one more thought, was anyone else reminded of the clones from MIB the Animated series when the Gwen clone melted? That was... weird. Its things like that that always kept me from being a big fan of comic books.

01.02.2009 - 15:53 | Linkara

Nope, the one with the duel robot.

Another Peter Parker clone is in the pod.

01.02.2009 - 16:13 | cyclopsfan1 - Who knows,

So many darn clones so little time to remember them all. At least the ultimate universe got it down to six issues instead of 150.

01.02.2009 - 16:41 | Walt Conway - Clones

Clones are like...

You know they're not even worth a metaphor.
