The very instant, I saw granny goodness, I knew.
How? Who? When? Why??? I did not know to laugh or to cry here? Why is a villain from titans in this plot. It does not make sense in the slightest bit? Why would DC make an ENTIRE 6 comic event to make it mean nothing? There was something that I did notice that had me thinking it HAD to be connected to countdown. Does this remind of you of anything? Should we do something? I think we should do something. Should we do something?
The two under crazywhatserface THATS ALL THEY DID
they did not even kill anyone. Also there is another thing that REALLY gets me. While I do not know the specifics, I remember Darkseid killing an individual, if I am not mistaken Superman did not know him personally, though Superman went absolutely berserk WTF happened?
I will honestly and sadly say that the age of comics is long gone and it is at the complete fault of its creators, as a fan of many heroes and stories I would much rather see the character die than see him or her made a mockery of for the sake of a buck.
To take an Event, to find out that its only a subplot to another larger event does one thing and one thing only. Offends its readers and disrespects the characters fans At this point the Superman Logo should no longer be an s but a $. If it is true what you say Linkara and read every comment I could only hope that you would agree.

Well, I feel like a total idiot. After I finally got it done and uploaded, I decided to save it at a slightly higher quality and reupload to blip.
I didn't realize, though, that it would replace the version that was there already, thus rendering it unwatchable for the next half hour. My sincere apologies to all.

Dear god... they sent the comics back? This deserved a mass organized BURNING.. but yeah, Grace did seem to me the writer's rage at making this. Great review either way :p

Hah! I tilted my head at the exact same time as you did when Granny "Holy-Crap-Why-Is-She- Still-Being-Used" Goodness was revealed. It was like they thought that the story dident blow quite enough so they just threw her in to really make it hurt.
Nice job on the review. You pulled through that like a man!

03.24.2009 - 00:31 | Demonic_Calculator - ...Words fail me. How can you make any other comic as stupid and pointless as this one? HOW? It can't be done. This one takes the cake for implausiblity.
Great review. When it comes to trashing bad comics you are THE man.

You know, Athena`s... sorry, Granny Godness entire speech and arriving could also be considered "Deux ex machina".
I mean who ends all the stupid plotpoints and brings this crap to an end?
In fact, based it all is considered to the definition of wikipedia a perfect Deus ex machina device, which even Sokrates would hate.
"A good comes in the place, to solve all major problems"
And to the end... what shall we say? was it even in some twisted way considered a good plotpoint to the infamous Countdown?
As far as I know Darkseid wanted to use the gods as what? Powerbattery for some galactical doomsdevice/Antilife device?
And who freed them? a co-Catgirl and Harvey Quinzel.
Oh yes, Countdown did a really great job by pulling all the crap of the silver age in a modern story.
Sorry to say that, but... in my opinion this entire DC Multiverse should be destroyed and again reestablished in one universe and finish.
Or they should copy the entire "ultimate" Idea of Marvel, whatever. I know some ideas of the ultimate cosmology aren`t that good, but... it is a good alternative in my opinion for a "hyped up" generation of new comic readers.
Okay, enough about DC and how they manage it sometimes to ruin their entire cosmology and back to the review:
First at all, your nervous breakdown... perfect. I hope you and Wonder Woman beat the crap out of it. By the way, who animated the last short?
The review itself...
what I really liked was again the extra information e.g. about how a lot of readers send this shit back, the "Awfully written" thing and your apology to Doom IV.
In fact, this really surprised me considered how bad this thing is.
Well okay, good luck with other stuff and...
I would like to suggest you a good manga in my opinion just to read. Ever heard of Chrno Crusade?

I'm glad it's...over?
Neat Flash animation at the end!
I can't believe the whole thing was a tie in to ANOTHER comic! This was worse than the Catwomam movie and Batman and Robin movie...and then someone actually managed to find a way to put them together.
I've read alot of bad comics in my time, but this takes the cake. I'd rather go back and read ''For Tomorrow'' than this series....

Fan fiction! D:
I just think it's amusing in general when average writers with average intelligence try to write dialog for beings that should be super geniuses. The only discernable difference is that they often use a bunch of old english words and artificially extend their sentences.
As for Athena and the rest of the greek pantheon, since when did they care about other countries or even morality? They're all scheming bastards who try to one-up each other for shits and giggles.
...and isn't Goodness just an ally of Darkseid? Not that I'm in any way knowledgable about powerlevels in the DC universe, but could she really defeat an entire pantheon of gods on her own?

03.24.2009 - 01:07 | professore annientamentoThis comic book was surely one of the most unreadable (with par on Harry Potter x Snape homosexual fantasy fanfics) things in the universe. Even the Clone Saga way was better.
Thanks Linkara for the first part of Your Amazons Attack rant video - as a polish potatoeater I had actually no idea about Wonder Woman (except her presence in JLA:TAS) character background and why it is so popular in US.

03.24.2009 - 01:17 | damoclesHoly Cow!That ending was awesome!I can't wait to see the final battle!And Granny Goodness sucks!

[b]Granny Goodness! :huh:[/b]
1. I didn't even know she could TRANSFORM, much less fight the Greek Pathelon!! If they had shown all of the New Gods of Apokolips, MAYBE I wouldn't be so pissed about it (just because I'm a New Gods fan)
2. Was Will Pfeifer seriously thinking he was writing a WW crossover! I mean as you said, It focused MUCH MORE on Donna Troy, WonderGirl, Superman, Batman, and GRAISE CHO!

03.24.2009 - 02:25 | JimmydelaKopinSo these were tie-in comics for a tie-in comic series?! :pinch:
And people wonder why I read [u]Femforce[/u].

How...does...Granny manage to upsurpt the entire panteon of greek gods and manage to chain them to a pillar? Seriously how? No no really that makes no sense....no fucking sense!!! IF YOUR GOING TO MAKE AN ENDING LIKE THAT YOU NEED TO EXPLAIN IT FOR THOSE WHO DON'T READ THE TIE INS!!! WTF DC?!?! And of course this is probably going to remain untouched because obviously they don't want to tie loose ends to bull shit at this point...*sigh*
Great ending though on your part Linkara!

Granny Goodness? Really? And here I thought Norman Osborn being in charge of the world was a bad idea. Wait...it is.
Good review and that animated ending was WICKED COOL! Sucks that you had to review such a horrible, horrible comic. I won't be picking up THAT TPB.
It is funny how Granny was mentioned as I've been looking into Darkseid related things. I suggest watching Superman TAS or JL to see when Granny made sense!

Nice try to avoid reviewing with help of LOL cats.
What the...? There is of course one other thing that confuses longside with that comic making no sense. If all amazons lost they memory of they past lives then what did happen to Wonder Woman? Is she only amazon that didn't lose her memory of past?
Oh and "Look at the pretty bunny" :D

I really enjoyed the review.
But instead of looking at all the negative the comic caused, think of what this comic can do for you and America.
1. We can give issues to prisoners at Gitmo, if that happened we would know where Osama is within the week.
2. Have a pet bird that is constipated? Well line their cage with Amazon's Attack and they won't be able to stop shitting.
and so on.
Remember the old Atari game ET? Well it is a collectors item and revered for being so bad which is why you can still find it on EBay when most other Atari games aren't.
Again, enjoyed the review.

03.24.2009 - 03:50 | SuperfantastischHow the heck did Granny Goodness manage to neutralise the entire Greek pantheon? Did she invent an anti-divine-magic field?

Amazons Attack Review Series Grade:
[b]A+++[/b]
This is the best Comic Review Video Series Ever! I dare anyone to show me anything better!
It cant be done!
Now we just need to fashion a CLONE ARMY after the DNA code of Linkara and create sub-channels for each type of comic series - and then we will RULE the WORLD (.....of comic reviewing)!
....oh and Linkara, did you hear they are working on an Animated Movie of the Batman Superman Series - [b]I CANNOT WAIT![/b]
:woohoo:

03.24.2009 - 04:07 | Thrawn05Wow. This truly was a horrible comic. If DC really wanted to make a comic that “relevant” and social commentary, they could’ve done that without having to destroy well established heroes.
What’s next? An epic fail comic linking the Bana to the current economic situation? :pinch:
How is this possible? I am at a loss for words at the sheer incompetence it must have taken to make this comic. Thank you for reviewing this comic, it dulls the pain I have from reading this horrible excuse for entertainment.
