Atop the Fourth WallStaffel 8
Linkara is a witty, sarcastic young adult who reviews comic books of very poor detail, ranging from bad artwork to bad writing. Occasionally, characters from the comics as well as the comics themselves come to life and terrorize Linkara. Not only that, but other-worldly creatures often invade his house and try to take him hostage. He survives it all using his vast knowledge of comics and their many faults.

- NFL SuperPro Special Edition #1
F1NFL SuperPro Special Edition #1Linkara kicks off the new year with some football. But since he's early for the Super Bowl, he decides to look at some SuperPro. It's been a while since he's visited this series, and there are plenty of good reasons why. This issue features our helmeted, padded jock hero going after an evildoer who sells steroids to athletes. - Popeye: Borned to the Sea #1
F2Popeye: Borned to the Sea #1Well, blow me down. Linkara finally gets to talk about everybody's favorite spinach-eating super sailor, courtesy of his Patreon mateys. This story chronicles Popeye's life from birth on board a ship at sea, his Pappy shipping out on him, and the young man growing up on an all-spinach diet and developing a keen knack for fighting. This provides techniques for both survival and wacky hijinks. - OnStar Batman Auto Show Special Edition #1
F3OnStar Batman Auto Show Special Edition #1The first PSA Hell of 2016 is a short comic for OnStar, starring the Caped Crusader. The Commissioner has been kidnapped by the Riddler, and in order to locate him and bring that crazy conundrum king to justice, Batman will need a little help from a commercial car security service. Hopefully he didn't buy it with a Bat Credit Card. - Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters #3
F4Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters #3Linkara returns to the Kingdom of Monsters, even though it's still yet to be established. So while the monsters are still wreaking havoc on three continents, the comic decides to focus on a pair of freaky twin girls, more asshole children, and cultural satire for the brain-dead. - The Star Wars #3
F5The Star Wars #3A few minutes ago in an apartment a good distance away...Linkara has returned to the comic franchise of The Star Wars, with the third issue. Little does Linkara know that this is the issue where things finally start to take shape, resembling the movie whose source material originated from this story. Roles may be reversed and 1 character may become 3, but it is indeed one with the Force of Others. - Youngblood #8
F6Youngblood #8More wacky, inconsistent and overcrowded fun with Rob Liefeld's shameful excuse for a comic series. Today, Linkara looks at issue #8,000 where our poorly-drawn heroes fighting equally poorly-drawn foes in positions no human acrobat could imitate, and we get some poorly timed backstory. Oh, and Spawn is here too for some reason. - All-Star Batman and Robin #10
F7All-Star Batman and Robin #10After 10 agonizing issues, All-Star Crazy Steve and Dick Grayson Age 12 finally comes to a close. So how does this harrowing saga of murder, kidnapping, child endangerment, misogyny, sex, scandals, perversion, and time jumps that would make all 13 Doctors crap themselves end? Batman and Robin are pushed aside to make way for a vulgar Batgirl story. - Pokemon Adventures Ch 1-2
F8Pokemon Adventures Ch 1-2To celebrate the 20th anniversary of his all-time favorite Anime franchise, which is Pokémon for the few people who don't know, Linkara takes a look at--what else? A Pokémon comic. After an exhaustive search for a decent enough book, he settles on Pokémon Adventures. - Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger Ep 1-5
F9Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger Ep 1-5Go Go Patreon Sponsors. Linkara's generous masters have requested he review the first five episodes of a Super Sentai known as Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. More Japanese Power Rangers. But he's happy to do it, because Linkara is secretly a Power Rangers fan. Not many people know this, but he does enjoy that franchise. - Blue-Skying, Part 4: Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes New 52
F13Blue-Skying, Part 4: Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes New 52As the month of March draws to a close, so does Linkara's retrospective on the history of the Blue Beetle. And what better way to end than to cover the character's tenure in DC Comic's reboot saga Linkara hates with every fiber of his being: The New 52. - Star Trek Special: Flesh and Stone
F14Star Trek Special: Flesh and StoneStar Trek has lived long and prospered for 50 years, and being such a big Trekkie, Linkara honors the Enterprise's golden anniversary with a review of a comic that dared to bring the doctors of all five Star Trek series together for their own scientifically illogical space adventure. Can you say comic malpractice? - Blackest Night #1-8
F15Blackest Night #1-8Linkara is forced once again to look at a good comic. Why? Because he isn't one to bite the hand that feeds his bank account. The comic de jour is Blackest Night. He looks at not one, but 8 issues surrounding life, death, resurrection, and everything in between. - Dart #1
F16Dart #1Show him the money, he'll show you the comic (provided you've followed the proper channels, that is). It's another Patreon sponsored review for Linkara today as he digs into Dart #1, a mean-spirited comic about a sexy superhero and a greedy toy company. Plenty of grammar errors and Liefeld-worthy artwork make this a blunder to behold. - Batman: Shadow of the Bat #58
F17Batman: Shadow of the Bat #58Linkara reads the third part of "Leaves of Grass" in which Batman battles the Floronic Man while fending off Poison Ivy's toxic advances, while Tim Drake gives us a lecture on the history of marijuana and its many good uses. And to think, the pages of this comic could've been better used as hemp. - Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
F18Legend of Heroes: Trails in the SkyBy popular demand (from 1 person), Linkara reviews a JRPG. It involves a fiendish plot to usurp the throne from Her Majesty, and the only ones fit to stop the forces of evil are two siblings turned lovers and the most likable character is the would-be villain. Yep, it's one of THOSE games. - Star Trek: The Next Generation #3
F20Star Trek: The Next Generation #3Linkara continues his celebration of Star Trek's golden anniversary with issue #3 of The Next Generation comic series. It's an intergalactic battle of morals, plot holes and creative differences. Not to mention it prominently features one of the many banes of Linkara's existence: Q. - Marvel Super Special #7: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
F22Marvel Super Special #7: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club BandFor the 100th, it was a cartoon hedgehog in an unreal world. For the 200th, it was Spidey selling his soul in a story that is the bane of Linkara's existence. For the 300th, it was the worst piece of literature Frank Miller ever contributed to. Now, for #400, Linkara will review - a musical comic, as in a comic based off a terrible musical. It's a tuneful review with musical numbers and a ballad of guest stars. - Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man
F23Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-ManWith Batman vs. Superman and Captain America vs. Iron Man playing out all over theater screens, Linkara decides to look back at the time Superman was pitted against Spider-Man. Marvel and DC's first crossover event. And as Linkara discovers, this little crossover battle is different from those that would come after it, because it's done exceptionally well. It doesn't just pull punches, because every punch has a purpose. - Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day #3
F26Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day #3Linkara finally closes out this trilogy of terror that is Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day. It's pompous and circumstantial pandemonium as the gang engage in battle with an evil Superman robot which results in pointless deaths of significant characters. Graduation? Nope, this series needs to go to summer school. - Star Trek: Deep Space 9 #1
F28Star Trek: Deep Space 9 #1Linkara reviews a comic from his favorite Star Trek series, Deep Space Nine. In this adventure, the team tries to control an outbreak of some experimental scientific mold that tries to take over the ship, all while trying to keep up with the Cardassians. - The Minister of Chance
F29The Minister of ChanceAlways willing to try new things, especially when his Patreon sponsors demand it, Linkara decides to look at something he's never reviewed in all the 400+ episodes of his show: an audio drama. That's right, taking a break from printed media, Linkara reviews one of audio: a story in the Doctor Who-verse featuring a conflict between two nations, and a world where science is outlawed and magic is revered. - US-1 #6
F30US-1 #6Ten-four, good buddy, Linkara's hauling a load with issue 6 of our favorite comic book truck driver, US-1. Each book has gotten weirder and weirder, and this one is no exception as our heroic trucker swoops in to help the owners of a local truck stop, who are behind on their mortgage payments. Being the all-American good guy he is, Ulysses won't let a greedy banker or a violent biker gang stand in his way of righting wrongs. - Unsounded: Chapter 1
F32Unsounded: Chapter 1"A Reluctant Escort" is an apropos title for the first chapter of Unsounded, as Linkara is reluctant to escort his viewers through this web comic. However, this journey is mandated by the Kingdom of Patreon, to whom Linkara has pledged his loyalty. Unsounded tells the tale of an obnoxious young princess and her reluctant zombie escort have to avoid many treacherous and deadly obstacles - mainly each other. - Biggles and the Menace from Space
F33Biggles and the Menace from SpacePatreon's wish is Linkara's command. This week's outing is an odd sci-fi comic about a classic, seldom-known comic character called James Bigglesworth, or Biggles for short. In this adventure, the brazen pilot has to solve the mystery of a space station that seemingly launched itself and is threatening to nuke the entire world. - Batman and Robin: The Official Comic Adaptation
F34Batman and Robin: The Official Comic AdaptationThe world's greatest detective in the world's worst movie made for an unsavory combination, but, of course, there had to be a comic adaptation. So, Linkara digs into the comic version of Batman and Robin, to compare and contrast with the ludicrous film. And, of course, you-know-who shows up to do the mandatory Bat Credit Card freak-out...but Linkara's one step ahead to nip that old meme in the bud. - Superman and the TRS-80 Computer Whiz Kids: Victory by Computer
F35Superman and the TRS-80 Computer Whiz Kids: Victory by ComputerBecause Superman had nothing better to do, he's back to hock more Tandy computer products with the Whiz Kids. Linkara delves into the latest adventures of the Whiz Shills that features not only Superman, but Supergirl as well, helping to push the latest state-of-the-art, groundbreaking technology 1981 had to offer. - Star Trek/Green Lantern: The Spectrum War
F36Star Trek/Green Lantern: The Spectrum WarWith the fate of the world resting in his hands, vowing not to rest until he can decipher a mysterious message from the future, Linkara takes a rest anyway to review a Star Trek/Green Lantern crossover comic. It's the Trek's 50th anniversary, and Linkara marks the occasion with a comic in which universes collide, the Lantern rings come in the possession of the Enterprise crew, and all sorts of wacky hijinks ensue. - My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #27-28
F37My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #27-28Sponsorship is Magic as My Little Patreon encourages Linkara to bite the bullet and review a My Little Pony comic. He gets more than he bargained for with a magical adventure about the ponies using magic and friendship to save the green forests from an unscrupulous land developer. - Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Ch. 1
F38Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Ch. 1It's mega manga time again as Linkara commemorates the 20th anniversary of Yu-Gi-Oh. While he's not very hip on the original series, he is a BIG fan of GX. While the manga is not without flaws, Linkara finds it to be a somewhat solid story about two teams using their magic cards to create monsters. Each team making sure their deck is larger...that's deck of cards, you pervs. - Pryde of the X-Men
F39Pryde of the X-MenThe light of Patreon shines brightly upon Linkara tonight, as they've selected a topic that's very near and dear to him to review: comic books. Though not really a book, it's the pilot to an X-Men animated series that was never made. Being a big fan of the superhero mutants and all their wacky friends and enemies, Linkara looks over this 1989 effort and tries to see why this show never made it to series. - A Nightmare on Elm Street: Paranoid #2
F41A Nightmare on Elm Street: Paranoid #2The nightmare continues...for Linkara, who still has two more issues of this crap. In Paranoid #2: Insomniac Boogaloo, we pick up where we left off, with Freddy causing more of his trademark mayhem for a group of clueless teenagers. And Linkara has a few of his own supernatural forces with malevolent intent to deal with. - A Nightmare on Elm Street: Paranoid #3
F42A Nightmare on Elm Street: Paranoid #3Linkara is ready for this Nightmare to end as he gets to issue 3, and while it did show some potential for interesting ideas, it simply pissed them all away for shoddy exposition and cheap thrills. Once he gets through this nightmare, Linkara must face the other one stalking him in the real world. - The Real Ghostbusters in Ghostbusters II #1-3
F44The Real Ghostbusters in Ghostbusters II #1-3If something sucks, on your comic shelf, who you gonna call? Linkara. This Halloween special includes a review of three Ghostbusters II comics featuring the Real Ghostbusters. Worlds collide as the cartoon meets the second movie, which Linkara deems better than the first. And speaking of ghosts, Linkara still has that pesky entity haunting his new house to worry about. Fortunately, though, he's got some help. - Tales of Suspense #57
F47Tales of Suspense #57It's another mysterious origin for Linkara as he looks at the coming of that unsung heroic archer Hawkeye. An overlooked showman at Coney Island, he witnesses Iron Man's heroics and decides he can do the same thing too. After he bungles his first attempt at heroism, he finds himself recruited by Black Widow to defeat Iron Man. - All-Star Comics #3
F48All-Star Comics #3Before the Avengers and the Justice League, and even the Super Friends, there was the Justice Society of America. To wrap up Secret Origins Month 2016, Linkara looks at their origin. Featuring such memorable members as The Atom, The Sandman, The Spectre, The Hawkman, The Hourman, Dr. Fate, and Johnny Thunder. Each one has a fascinating story to tell...all of which are told in this one comic. - Another 15 Screw-Ups of AT4W
F52Another 15 Screw-Ups of AT4WLinkara reflects back on the year 2016, listing the many highs and the over-abundance of lows. But most of all, he reflects on himself and his own fortunes, good and bad. Including mistakes he's made, and he's counted down 15 of the most glaring ones to date. Or at least the ones he didn't mention in past Top 15 Screw-Up videos.
