Thread Theme:

Lewis Lovhaug, commonly known online as Linkara, is an Internet reviewer who was formerly associated with That Guy With The Glasses/Channel Awesome. Linkara is the star and producer of Atop The Fourth Wall/AT4W, a series where Linkara reviews mostly bad comic books from a variety of genres, publishers and time periods. AT4W is similar to other online review shows like Nostalgia Critic and The Angry Video Game Nerd, where rather than an actual review, the videos feature Linkara merely summarizing the plot of whatever comic he's "reviewing" and doing overly drawn out skits in autistic cosplay. What distinguishes Linkara from his fellow Internet critic contemporaries is the fact that his skits go beyond jokes and contain expansive storylines and lore that carry on from episode to episode that Linkara tries to make serious and cram with preachy monologues. While Linkara presently likes to rip on and harshly critique poorly made comics, and gives off the impression that he knows what separates bad comics from good ones, Linkara himself once wrote and produced his own novels and webcomics, which were of Sonichu quality.

Beyond his failed creative endeavors and comic reviews, Linkara is also notorious for being a massive coomer online who spent years on porn forums thirsting for cock. In addition to being a self described "nasty cockslut" and closeted bisexual, Linkara has not only jerked off to porn of the green M&M, but he also beats it to porn with the tags of "dead", "gay", "muppets", and "gangbang", a combination of things you'll likely never see anywhere else. Despite being a male feminist, for some reason, Linkara has an unhealthy obsession with rape, and while he claims in his reviews that rape shouldn't be used as a plot device unless it is absolutely needed, Linkara inserts rape in all his creative works at any chance he gets. Although Linkara tries to move past his sexual deviancy, unlike Doug Walker, he isn't able to take any jokes at his expense and gets butthurt very easily. Linkara may arguably be one of the biggest lolcows to come out of TGWTG. With that in mind, welcome to Atop The Fourth Wall, where bad comics burn. Linkara's thread'll teach you a lesson he won't learn...

Linkara Header.pngEarly Lifekara

Lewis Jeffrey Lovhaug was born on August 19th, 1987, to Loren "Dadkara" and Avonelle "Momkara" Lovhaug in Shoreview, Minnesota. He also has a brother named Graham. Lewis's parents were fans of many nerdy things like Star Trek and Doctor Who, and instilled their love of geekdom into a young Lewis, who would develop a keen interest. Lewis attended Moundsview High School and would later obtain a bachelor's degree in English with a minor in Philosophy, which somehow makes him a professional writer and comedian. Lewis's parents also would do whatever they could to assist their son in his creative endeavors. While they would no doubt pay for his college education and later support AT4W, even featuring in some of Lewis's videos, this was not the first creative work of their son that they supported...

Linkara Subheader.pngAngel Armor Logo.png
Angel Armor 1.jpgAngel Armor 2.jpgAngel Armor 3.jpg

In 2003, at age 14, Lewis would write his first novel, "Just a Boy", which was part of a series called "Angel Armor". Lewis's parents would help him get the Angel Armor books published, and even assist in getting them issued at Lewis's high school library and passed around to Lewis's classmates. While this seems nice and harmless, Lewis's parents likely were just eager to encourage their son's creative endeavors and didn't actually bother to read the content of the books, which as you'll soon see, are questionable to say the least.
Angel Armor Linkara.jpgAngel Armor Description.jpg
The Angel Armor books can still be purchased on Amazon:

If you would like to read Angel Armor, archives of the books have been leaked to the Kiwi Farms by @Null:
Angel Armor: Just a Boy
Angel Armor: The Cassandra Conflict
Angel Armor: Yesterday
Angel Armor: Where The Heart Is


The Angel Armor books are about a 14 year old Christian optimist named "Louis Williamson", Louis "Woodstein", or Louis "Goldstein" (depending on which the draft of the book/publisher is used) who is transported into a fantasy word called "Sin" and becomes an angelic prophetic messiah called "The Linkara." These books are origin of the name "Linkara" for Lewis, an alias he would use later online.

Louis, an alternate spelling of Lewis, who is destined to become an angelic messiah, is an obvious self-insert character of the author. Lewis however does not stop there, as not only do his books feature an entire "Linkaran" religion, but Louis also meets a "catgirl" named Indow, who is a "Linkaran priestess" that was raised to worship the Linkaran messiah her entire life. Naturally, she ends up becoming Louis's girlfriend.
Angel Armor Meme.jpg
In this excerpt from the first novel, Lewis shows off some of his later male feminist talking points by having his self-insert proclaim that he wouldn't take away the "basic freedom" of Indow the catgirl priestess to have sex with him, when she objects and states that Linkaran priestesses require approval for certain activities like sex:
Angel Armor Excerpt 1.png
Lewis's self-insert also lusts after Indow after first meeting her:
Louis Lusts after Catgirl Indow.png

Despite being a Linkaran priestess that is meant to be pure and chaste, when Louis falls ill with a fatal disease, Indow agrees to have lesbian sex with an evil knight in exchange for a cure:
Indow Solicits Herself For Sex.png
After recovering, Louis accidentally walks in on Indow having sex:
Louis Walks in on Indow.png
Louis would then ask Indow if she is a lesbian the next morning:
Is Indow a Lesbian.png
Indow would then clarify she is actually bisexual:
Indow is Bisexual.png

Later in the novel, Louis and his companions stay at an inn. To pay for their rooms, Indow offers to work as a stripper for the inn, and of course, Louis goes to watch her stripping:
Indow Striptease.png

The scene where Indow has lesbian sex would later be followed up by a scene where Indow is kidnapped and brutally raped with tree branches by the same woman she slept with earlier:
Angel Armor Excerpt 2.png

Oh and by the way, it should be noted that despite Indow whoring herself out, working as a stripper, and getting violently raped, according to the text, she is only fourteen years old:
Indow is Fourteen.png

Towards the end of the novel, after setting up Indow as a love interest for Louis, there is an incredibly bizarre and random moment where Indow stabs Louis out of nowhere, because... she loves him?
Indow Stabs Louis 1.png
Indow Stabs Louis 2.png
This moment makes no sense and is never brought up again afterwards.

Despite being the prophetic messiah, one of Louis's main combat abilities throughout the novel is kicking his opponents in the balls:

In a 2013 Tumblr blog post, Linkara would address the Angel Armor books and his feelings on it:

While he acknowledges that the execution could've used some work, he does not disown them, and even expresses a desire to rewrite and release them some time in the future.

On November 12th, 2005, Lewis would register to the erotic fiction site Literotica under the name "Reuisu", which is supposed to be Lewis pronounced in Japanese. At the time, Lewis was 17 years old and in high school, meaning he broke the site's 18+ age rule.

Linkara Subheader.pngHentai Foundry
On September 14th, 2008, Lewis would register an account on the porn site Hentai Foundry under the same user name he used for his Literotica account, "Reuisu":

When this account was discovered, a tweet by @TheMaxVader highlighted some of the tags of the pornographic images Lewis jerked off to. These included "corpses", "feet", "Muppets", "gay gangbangs", "strap-on", "dickgirls", "rape" and the green fucking M&M:

Linkara Header.pngLightbringer Logo.png

Prior to reviewing shitty comics on Atop the Fourth Wall, Lewis was creating them himself, such as The Lightbringer. The Lightbringer is Lewis's infamous online webcomic that is often compared to Chris Chan's Sonichu. It is a superhero comic with notoriously bad art, massive textboxes full of pretentious pseudo-intellectual philosophical ramblings, and self-insert Mary Sues.
Lightbringer Banner.png
Lewis would host The Lightbringer webcomic on Comic Genesis, a comic hosting site:
Comic Genesis.png
In addition to the Lightbringer website which hosted the comic pages, Comic Genesis also had a Lightbringer Forum where fans could discuss The Lightbringer and share their thoughts, criticisms, and fan art with Lewis:
Lightbringer Forum.png
Link (Archive)

The Lightbringer storyline spans 15 issues. For the first 13 issues, the artwork was done by Lewis himself. Lewis would "publish" The Lightbringer under the publisher "Steel Dragon Comics" and would credit artists "Ted Sage" and "Fred Gouldart" on the covers, who were just pseudonyms of Lewis. Lewis claims he did this to make his comic seem more professional. He also admits that he's a terrible artist:
Utter Crapitude.png
Lightbringer Art FAQ.png
Link (Archive)
While it appears that the art was made in MS Paint, in actuality Lewis would hand draw the artwork, and then edit it in PaintShop Pro and Photoshop, tracing over the line art and adding color and text:
Lightbringer Hand Drawn Art.png
PaintShop Pro and Photoshop.png
Later in the comic's run, Lewis would stop producing the art. Midway through Issue #13, after cycling through some guest artists, Lewis would bring in Chad Rocco as the main artist of The Lightbringer, whose artwork was far better than Lewis's:
Chad Rocco Art.jpg
Chad's run as The Lightbringer's main artist would be short-lived, as midway through the 15th and final issue, Chad Rocco would be replaced by Sergio J. A. Ragno III, who would be the final artist for The Lightbringer:
Sergio Ragno Art.jpg

From the first page of The Lightbringer, one can already tell they're in for quite the read.
The Lightbringer First Page.jpg
The Lightbringer is set in Pharos City, which has geometry that gives CWCville's CADD class measurements a run for their money. Pharos City was once a prosperous and peaceful Midwestern metropolis that quickly became a crime-ridden shithole where people are constantly murdered and raped. The comic then introduces Lewis's second self-insert the story's main protagonist Carter Granholme. Carter is a furniture store worker whose parents were murdered (Wow, how original, I wonder where Linkara got that idea?).
Carter Granholme Introduction.jpgCarter Furniture Store.png
Carter is then visited at his furniture store by Serpant, a member of a notorious crime gang in Pharos City called the "Slavers".
Slavers Introduction Page.jpg
The Slavers are cartoonishly evil gang members who kidnap people for fun, sell people into slavery, and of course, rape women and kids. They also somehow are able to walk the streets with chained up slaves and not get caught. Serpant reminds Carter that he wants to be paid by Friday. Carter impotently shakes his fist, which begins to glow, but ultimately tells Serpant he will get him his money. Carter also monologues about how the murderer of his parents was suspected to be a member of the Slavers.
Carter Threatens to Use His Powers.jpg
The next page explains why Carter's fist glowed. Carter has light based powers, such as creating light-based constructs (*cough* Green Lantern rip-off *cough*), and flight by somehow using the momentum generated by light particles hitting him. Lewis does not actually explain where or how Carter got these powers, instead he reveals that Carter would accidentally fuck up family photos with his light powers and that this caused him to be scared to use them. He also reveals that he did not use them to save his parents when they were murdered.
Carter's Powers.jpg
Why didn't he try to save his parents? Carter's parents were extreme pacifists and were opposed to any form of violence, so Carter couldn't save them or else he'd disappoint them:
Carter's Pacifist Parents Are Dead.jpg
While walking down the street after reminiscing about his dead parents, Carter sees a girl with purple hair about to get raped in an alleyway.
Lightbringer Rape Scene.jpg
Rather than helping her, Carter runs away like a little bitch, as he would disappoint his dead parents if he intervened. He also doesn't even call the cops, leaving the girl to get raped. Our hero everyone!
Carter Runs Away Like a Bitch.jpg
Back home, Carter has a mental breakdown and massive spergy inner monologue about how his parents' retarded ideology doesn't work.
Carter Philosophical Sperging.jpgBecoming Lightbringer Part 1.jpg
Ultimately, after some reflection, he decides to use his powers to fight crime, thus becoming Pharos City's new protector, THE LIGHTBRINGER! He then swoops in to save another woman who is about to get stabbed. Lewis also makes sure to point out that Lightbringer doesn't kill criminals like Batman.
Becoming Lightbringer Part 2.jpgBecoming Lightbringer Part 3.jpgBecoming Lightbringer Part 4.jpgEnd of Issue # 1.jpg
This concludes the first issue. While Carter overcame his parents' stupid teachings and saved a woman from getting stab, he still left another girl to get raped on the streets. Great start to his career as a hero, let's see where it goes from here.

Lightbringer Subheader.pngIssue #2 - Let There Be Light Part 2
The Lightbringer Issue #2 Cover.jpg

The second issue begins with several new broadcasts asking about who the mysterious new superhero in Pharos City is. Carter also sucks his own cock about how great he is and how fulfilling it is to fight crime.
Who is the Lightbringer 1.jpgWho is the Lightbringer 2.jpg
Lewis then gives us some insight into how Carter's Lightbringer costume works. He mainly makes his costume out of furniture scraps from his store, but probably the most notable and autistic thing he does is use fucking furniture touch up paint to color his hair blonde, which he showers off every time he dons the costume. Surely all that paint seeping into his scalp won't cause him any problems down the line.
Lightbringer's Costume.jpgLightbringer Paint Hair.png
The chief of Pharos City's police department Commissioner Gordon Eddie Crane wants to meet Lightbringer and team up with him to defeat The Slavers.
Police Want to Meet Lightbringer.jpgLightbringer and Crane.jpg
Remember that girl that Carter left to get raped on the street in the last issue? In this issue, Lewis introduces her as a proper character named Hannah Ments, who joins Carter's furniture store as a stockgirl. She also shows that she's super tough and can easily lift heavy objects, which allowed her to escape her attacker. Carter even recognizes her as the girl he saw about to be raped.
Hannah 1.jpgHannah 2.jpgHannah 3.jpgHannah 4.jpg
In an author's note, Lewis explains he added Hannah as a super tough girl boss because all the women in the previous issue were being "victimized" and he wanted to have a strong female character in the main cast to compensate:
Hannah Note.png
Carter also finally defeats Serpant from the previous issue and brings him into the police so he can be interogated to help get information to stop the Slavers for good.
Lightbringer Defeats Serpant.jpgLightbringer Questions Serpant.jpgSerpant Arrested.jpg
Lewis ends the issue by introducing a new character called the Code Poet, who is an FBI agent that recites feminist slam poetry. The Code Poet barely factors into The Lightbringer story.
Code Poet.jpg
The Code Poet is actually a character that was introduced in the fourth Angel Armor novel. This would be the first crossover from Angel Armor into The Lightbringer, but definitely not the last.

Lightbringer Subheader.pngIssue #3 - The Last Lesson of Walter Kovacs
The Lightbriner Issue #3 Cover.jpg
Link
Issue #3 of The Lightbringer mainly centers around Carter finally taking down the Slavers.
Walter Kovacs.jpg
Why is it called "The Last Lesson of Walter Kovacs"? Walter Kovacs is the real life identity of the Watchmen character Rorschach. In this issue, Lewis will put his Philosophy sperging to good use to show that good and evil aren't nuanced and subjective.

First however, Lewis includes a scene explaining how Hannah escaped getting raped.
Hannah Story 1.jpgHannah Story 2.jpgHannah Story 3.jpg
Another feature of Lightbringer issues is Lewis would intersperse fan art throughout them. This issue mainly has Hannah fan art, including one where Lewis notes she was a minor, but decided to age her up due to feeling like a "perv" (Sounds similar to a certain other webcomic creator and his multi-color Sonic rip-offs). It should also be noted that if Lewis established she was 17 before this point, that means she was a minor when she was almost raped in the first issue.
Hannah Fan Art.png

The main plot of this issue has Carter investigating the Slavers by sneaking into their "whore auction".
Slaver Infiltration 1.jpgSlaver Infiltration 2.jpgWhore Auction.jpg
He discovers the Slavers actually use some of their funds to donate to charities and help Pharos City when they're not kidnapping women and children to sell as sex slaves. He is then confronted by the leader of the Slavers, General Werres, and the two engage in a textbox heavy spergfest about how the Slavers do some good. It's where the title comes from as Rorschach from Watchmen believed in absolute justice, which is what Lewis has Lightbringer parrot. General Werres is also an obvious strawman of opinions Lewis doesn't like.
General Werres 1.jpgGeneral Werres 2.jpgGeneral Werres 3.jpgGeneral Werres 4.jpgGeneral Werres 5.jpgGeneral Werres 6.jpg
Ultimately, Lightbringer defeats General Werres and hands him over to the police so he can be taken to court later and brought to justice. General Werres says something about how without the good the Slavers did, Pharos City will fall apart, but the Lightbringer states he never compromises on being good.
General Werres Defeated.jpgSlavers Defeated.jpgNever Compromise.jpg
The issue ends with Hannah discovering the secret place where Carter stores his Lightbringer costume in the furniture store.
Hannah Discovers Carter's Secret.jpg

Lightbringer Subheader.pngIssue #4 - Smiles, Everyone, Smiles
The Lightbringer Issue #4 Cover.jpg
Link
Issue #4 of the Lightbringer introduces the first supervillain of the comic, The Smiling Man. The Smiling Man is a mysterious man who is already familiar with the Lightbringer, as if he has met him before. He also is far too powerful for Lightbringer to defeat him.
Smiling Man 1.jpgSmiling Man 2.jpgSmiling Man 3.jpgSmiling Man 4.jpg
The issue opens with a weird joke about Hannah ordering a "breast expansion device" that Carter and other characters keep questioning her about. This is also the first issue Hannah partners with Lightbringer, having learned his secret in the previous issue.
Breast Expansion Device 1.jpgBreast Expansion Device 2.jpgBreast Expansion Device 3.png
It would later be revealed that The Smiling Man was after the breast expansion device, which is actually a deuterium generator. He then escapes leaving Carter confused about his motives.
Smiling Man Steals the Device.pngSmiling Man Leaves 1.jpgSmiling Man Leaves 2.jpg
Although The Smiling Man would be introduced in The Lightbringer, his story would be further explored in a future webcomic crossover project by Lewis called The Crossoverlord.

Lightbringer Subheader.pngIssue #5 - Gentlemanly Behavior
The Lightbringer Issue #5 Cover.jpg
Link
Issue #5 has the Lightbringer face off against another new supervillain, The Gentleman, who is a 400 year old serial killer. His plan is to expose the corruption of Pharos City by... killing some random whore on television? Yeah, his plan makes no fucking sense and he is defeated by getting knocked out with a camera.
Lightbringer versus Gentleman.jpgGentleman Plan.jpgGentleman Defeat.jpg
This issue also features a subplot about a journalist jumping off a building in a false suicide attempt to get Lightbringer's attention for an interview. He tells her off initially for being journoscum, but later forgives her.

Issue #6 introduces the arch-nemesis of the Lightbringer named the Darkbringer. The Darkbringer is actually a character from Angel Armor, who was a thief from the city of St. Paul that was granted dark magical power from the central Angel Armor antagonist The Darkness. The events of the third Angel Armor book where this happened are even referenced in this issue. It should also be noted the Lightbringer appeared in the third book as well.

The issue mainly features a fight between Lightbringer and Darkbringer. Like his arch-nemesis, the Darkbringer loves to get philosophical and ramble about how he's actually the good guy with blocks of fucking text.

Lightbringer declines working for the government and insists he will continue fighting crime his way. Lightbringer's lawyer also points out that Osprey is a liability because she's perceived as a minor and would have to reveal her secret identity to prove otherwise.
Osprey is a Liability.jpg
Osprey considers stopping to prevent legal trouble for Lightbringer, but he tells her not to and decides to continue fighting. Lightbringer ignores the order to turn himself in, and delivers the serial rapist to the mayor with his answer. As a result, Lightbringer and Osprey are declared public enemies.

She hates the play due to a former Slavers member and fan named Player Big who hit on her, which Erin rejected. As a response, Player Big disguised himself as the Grim Reaper, a character in the play, to murder Erin, resulting in Erin's friend Kelly dying.

Lightbringer and Hannah confront White Death at the play, who wants to kill the actor playing the Grim Reaper as revenge for what Player Big did, which she was also traumatized by. Lightbringer and Hannah manage to talk her down into giving up and turning herself in.

The issue ends with Lightbringer and Hannah questioning White Death's motives and wondering if they have free will, before heading off to continue fighting crime.

This marks the end of The Lightbringer.

It's a miracle the series even has an ending to begin with, as Lewis was not feeling motivated to finish it due to criticism and mockery of his work. In addition to all the critique Lewis received on his own Lightbringer Comic Genesis Forum, The Lightbringer was mocked ruthlessly on Something Awful. Lewis would address Something Awful in a blog post.

Issue #15 is the subject of a controversy. It took over 2 years to finish this issue, and this was mainly due to the original plans Lewis had for White Death, which was meant to be the original Issue #8 instead of the story about a day in Hannah's life. Rather than having her friend murdered on stage, Lewis's original backstory for the White Death was that she was raped on stage and everyone in the audience thought it was part of the show, which he revealed in the blog post addressed to Something Awful. Lewis also states that the reason he decided to change White Death's backstory was due to visiting feminist sites like Girl-Wonder.org, which made him a feminist, and being told by other people that it was a bad idea.

Someone who Lewis attended college with named Abby also commented on his blog post about how Lewis would talk to Abby's friends about how she didn't like him, even to friends of hers that Lewis had never met, which she found weird.
Abby Comment.png
After getting mocked by Something Awful and having his classmates get weirded out by his creations and behavior, Lewis would stop working on The Lightbringer and move onto a different idea, Atop The Fourth Wall.

On September 30th, 2013, Lewis would announce on his AT4W website in an update post that The Lightbringer was being released into the public domain:

Lewis is definitely eager to move on and distance himself from The Lightbringer as much as possible. It's even a reason he refuses to review Sonichu, as his track record with webcomics isn't much better than Chris's and it would be hypocritical of him to review Sonichu when he repeats many of its flaws in his own comic, such as poor artwork and overly long textboxes. One more thing, if you call Lewis "The Lightbringer", a joke that was popularized by OneyPlays, he will get very angry.

In addition to his own series, the Lightbringer also would crossover with several other webcomics.

In 2007, a webcomic event known as "The Crossover Wars" was launched:
The Crossovers War.png
Link (Archive)
Lewis participated in The Crossover Wars by dedicating some Lightbringer pages to Part 3 of the "Super Wars" section of The Crossover Wars:
Lightbringer Super War Crossover.png
Link (Archive)

The other major crossover the Lightbringer was apart of was The Crossoverlord:
The Crossoverlord Cast.png
The Crossoverlord was a collaborative project led by Lewis featuring five other webcomic artists.
The Crossoverlord.pngCrossoverlord Multiverse of Webcomic Heroes.jpg
Link
The namesake of The Crossoverlord is Lewis's character, The Smiling Man, a villain introduced in The Lightbringer, which this crossover comic would address. The Smiling Man is an interdimensional serial killer who killed other incarnations of the Lightbringer across the multiverse. Several heroes from across the multiverse would team up to stop the Smiling Man. Lewis's initial idea to defeat the Smiling Man was just the heroes going to an armory and acquiring new tools, which the other contributors felt was too simple of an idea. Lewis's backstory for The Smiling Man's was he wanted revenge for the death of his wife. The other contributors decided to change the ending to the heroes giving The Smiling Man his dead wife's journal which made him give up his pursuit of multidimensional murder as he realizes it's not what she would've wanted.
Crossoverlord 1.jpgCrossoverlord 2.jpgCrossoverlord 3.jpgCrossoverlord 4.jpgCrossoverlord 5.jpg
Despite being the one to originally start the project, and the comic being centered around his character, Lewis would become less involved with it overtime, essentially ditching the other creators to finish it on their own. This is because he was busy creating Atop the Fourth Wall. Lewis also apparently did not inform any of the others that he was working on AT4W at the time, and they only found out about AT4W after accidentally coming across it.

Linkara Subheader.pngRevolution of the Mask
Revolution of the Mask Issue #1.jpgRevolution of the Mask Issue #2.jpg
Revolution of the Mask is another webcomic by Lewis that was released under a group called Brain Scan Studios from 2008-2009. It is a rip-off of Watchmen, The Matrix, and 1984, set in a dystopian world where all individuality is outlawed and everyone is subservient to "The All", meaning they can't deny any requests. As you'd expect from his previous works, Lewis includes implied rape in his comic, probably as some feminist warning message about what the world will become:
Revolution of the Mask Page.png
Beyond that, the plot mainly involves a government censor being abducted by a group of masked superheroes and joining them to fight against the tyrannical dystopian society. Linkara only managed to release two issues and had to go through three different artists for the comic. It is also no longer available for download and has been abandoned, presumably to focus on AT4W.

Linkara actually had plans to create more at least two more issues of Revolution of the Mask, which he revealed in the same September 30th, 2013, AT4W blog update post where he announced The Lightbringer was public domain:
Revolution of the Mask Update.png
The only known art from the 3rd and 4th issues of Revolution of the Mask are covers by DeviantArt artist EpicBenjaminJ:

As seen earlier in this OP, Linkara's initial creative endeavors were not the breakout successes he was hoping for. His Angel Armor books never took off, and his Lightbringer comic was being mocked mercilessly as one of the worst webcomics of all time on Something Awful. However, Linkara decided to switch from being a creator to a critic, and begin reviewing comic books. He would do these reviews under a show called...
AT4W Logo.png
The origins of the idea of AT4W began on the Comic Genesis Lightbringer Forum with a post from Linkara on February 12th, 2007:
Lightbringer Forum Post about AT4W.png
Link (Archive)
In this post, which would be Linkara's final post on the Comic Genesis Lightbringer Forum, Linkara would throw out the idea of writing written comic reviews, being inspired by Jabootu and The Agony Booth, sites which hosted reviews of bad TV shows and movies:
Jabootu.pngThe Agony Booth.png
On February 19th, 2007, Linkara would first launch Atop The Fourth Wall as a Blogspot site for written reviews of bad comics:
AT4W Blogspot.png
Link (Archive)
His first written review for AT4W would be of Youngblood #1:
AT4W First Written Review.png
Link (Archive)

Another source of "inspiration" for AT4W appears to be I-Mockery.com's "Tales from the Longbox" series of comic reviews from 2007-2009, the same era AT4W was starting out. In particular, Linkara seems to have ripped-off been inspired by the reviews written by user Protoclown, taking note of his formating, analysis and overall style.
I-Mockery Tales From The Longbox.png
Link (Archive)

In a similar manner to how Jabootu and The Agony Booth inspired him to do written reviews, Doug Walker's Nostalgia Critic reviews inspired Linkara to switch AT4W from being written reviews to video reviews. On October 10, 2008, Linkara would create his first ever video as part of TGWTG's "Ask that Guy with the Glasses" competition. In this video, called "Ask That Guy with the Hat", Linkara copies a Doug Walker skit with his own spin on it:

Ask That guy with the Hat Description.png
From here, Linkara would shift to making all AT4W reviews video reviews. After Linkara had submitted enough AT4W video reviews, they had become popular enough to have Linkara featured on the TGWTG site and eventually brought onto TGWTG as a contributor.

On May 25th, 2014, Linkara would announce on the original AT4W Blogspot site that he had launched a proper AT4W website:
Launching the New AT4W Site.pngNew AT4W Site.png
Link (Archive)

Linkara's AT4W video reviews follow the standard TGWTG formula of having a guy sitting in front of a background and giving a plot summary of whatever they're "reviewing" with commentary and jokes interspersed throughout. Like other TGWTG members, Linkara also includes overly long skits in videos, with Linkara being notable for having entire storylines that span across multiple AT4W episodes. These characters range from friends of Linkara such as 90s Kid, Frank Sinatra knock-off Harvey Finevoice, and robotic assistant Pollo, to villains Linkara faces off against like Spoony's Dr. Insano character, The Entity (MissingNo. from Pokemon), dimesnional conqueror Lord Vyce, and evil doppelgangers of Linkara like Mechakara and Mirrorkara.
AT4W Characters 1.pngAT4W Characters 2.png
Linkara typically reviews 80s and 90s comics, as the 90s is the main era of comics that he is the most familiar with. Linkara is also very reluctant to change the format of his show and remains stagnant. As a result of this reluctance to change, and having generally thin skin, Linkara can end up being incredibly hostile to his fans when they make suggestions, criticize him, or bring up jokes made about Linkara. Ultimately, Linkara makes his content for himself, rather than appealing to a wider audience. To Linkara's credit however, unlike several other TGWTG creators like Spoony, Linkara is very consistent with his video output, producing AT4W on a very regular schedule.

There are several prominent comic book creators that Linkara absolutely hates. Linkara despises Garth Ennis, whose work he considers "edgelord garbage":

Linkara really hates Frank Miller due to him being a "racist bigot", especially against Muslims due to his comic Holy Terror:

Frank Miller 2.png

Frank Miller 3.png
Link (Archive)
Linkara even had a dedicated segment for Frank Miller reviews within AT4W called "Miller Time":
Miller Time Logo.png

Linkara greatly disliked Rob Liefeld, both as an artist and as a person. Linkara mainly dislikes Liefeld's art, and even had a lyric in the AT4W theme song about Liefeld being a bad artist, until he removed it due to trying to make AT4W less "toxic":
Liefeld Lyric Change 1.png

Link (Archive)
Linkara also was blocked by Liefeld because one of his fans harassed Liefeld after watching one of Linkara's reviews. Linkara was also upset that Liefeld mocked his fan for being fat:
Liefeld Blocked.png

One comic creator that Linkara absolutely loves is Gail Simone, who he endlessly sucks off in his quest to achieve male feminist godhood:
Gail Simone Fanboy.png
Link (Archive)

Linkara's male feminism is also on full display in his AT4W videos. In his review of Action Comics #593, Linkara would go on a rant about how writers shouldn't use rape in comics unless it is absolutely necessary, and even then, it's still a bad idea due to how sensitive the subject matter is:

This is incredibly ironic given the copious amounts of rape Linkara included in his own fictional works Angel Armor and The Lightbringer. What makes this even more ironic is Linkara is citing a blog post from a feminist comic blog called girl-power.org. Coincidentally, this site is one of the places that told him his Lightbringer idea of having the villain White Death get raped on stage was bad, an incident that Linkara claims motivated him to start becoming a male feminist.

Linkara Subheader.pngHOPR Logo.png
History of Power Rangers is a series of reviews where Linkara goes through each season of the TV show Power Rangers, which was one of his favorites growing up. This was a side project to Linkara's regular AT4W comic reviews. The most notable moment of HOPR came in the Power Rangers Wild Force episode that was originally released on November 6th, 2010. The episode would begin with Linkara's infamous Power Rangers rant where he expresses his frustration at fans asking him when the next episode will be released while he has been very busy with his AT4W episodes, conventions and moving into an apartment. Linkara scolds his impatient fans and reminds them that HOPR has no set schedule and the videos will be done when they are done.

Linkara's Power Rangers Rant

Linkara's Power Rangers Rant would quickly become a meme. On April 12th, 2011, YouTuber Rocco Botte would make a parody of Linkara's rant called "History of Voltage Vengerz PART 1 (Don't ask me when new episodes are coming)":

Linkara Subheader.pngLinkar-Ad Revenue
On May 16th, 2013, Linkara would release a video on his YouTube channel called "SPECIAL: Please Let the Ads Play" where he begs his audience to not use AdBlock when watching his videos on Blip so that Linkara can get ad revenue to pay his bills because making videos is his day job:
With the advent of Patreon and Blip going defunct on August 20th, 2015, this video was declared "no longer relevant" by Linkara.

Linkara Subheader.pngHMMMMMM?
In 2014, several stories of Linkara would be leaked on 4chan related to filming Channel Awesome specials, such as Kickassia, and what occurred behind the scenes and on set.

This story, posted on /co/ is from a former employee of Channel Awesome talking about a time when he was discussing a fellow female employee he liked with someone while Linkara was hovering around them and eventually chimed in and sperged out:

A story from the filming of Kickassia describing interactions with Linkara posted on the /tv/ board:

These 4chan stories would spawn several memes, including these examples:
Linkara 4Chan Meme 1.pngLinkara 4Chan Meme 2.jpgLinkara 4chan Meme 3.png

In regards to the validity of these stories, on June 6th, 2014, Linkara would respond to a Tweet asking about the 4chan threads claiming they were "certainly possible", as he was in a "weird" mood at the time:
Linkara 4chan Story Confirmation Tweet.png

Linkara Subheader.pngAT4W Movie Logo.png
In 2014, Linkara would start an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for his feature-length production, Atop The Fourth Wall: The Movie:
AT4W Indiegogo Campaign.png
Link (Archive)
The fundraising campaign was incredibly successful, as Linkara not only met his initial goal of $40,000, he surpassed it and managed to secure over $60,000 for the film. After a year of production, Linkara released the film in parts from November 24th through November 28th of 2015.
AT4W The Movie IMDb .png
Link (Archive)
The film features several storylines from Linkara's AT4W video reviews, with Mechakara as the main villain of the film, and even shares continuity with the Channel Awesome specials, as it takes place right after To Boldly Flee. The film also has several prominent Channel Awesome contributors in it. A huge difference with the AT4W movie and the previous Channel Awesome specials is while Doug Walker knew his specials were supposed to be awkward and funny, even making jokes at his expense, Linkara takes his lore completely seriously, with his ego on full display, making his character the center of the universe.

Linkara Subheader.png/tv/ Uncovers Linkara's Past
Atop the Fourth Wall: The Movie is also notable for being the catalyst that got people to look into Linkara's past and dig up his online history. On January 31st, 2015, a thread on 4chan's /tv/ board was created to discuss Linkara's recent Indiegogo campaign to fund the AT4W movie:
tv Discussing AT4W The Movie.png
Link (Archive)
First, on February 1st, 2015, an anon in the thread would ask for help finding an old Linkara video from 2005-2006:
tv Trying to Find Old Linkara Video.png
This would prompt other anons to start looking into Linkara's past Internet history to help find the old video:
tv Discovers Linkara's Past.png
As a result of this request and search, rather than finding the video, what the anons found instead were Linkara's old MediaMiner, Literotica and Hentai Foundry accounts. They were quickly spread as memes and several other 4chan threads would be created to discuss Linkara's past online deviancy:
Linkara General /tv/ Thread (Archive)
Channel Awesome is falling apart /tv/ Thread (Archive)

Linkara himself would confirm the validity of the /tv/ board's discovery. On Twitter, screenshots of Linkara's porn accounts were being shared and spread, such as this tweet containing Linkara's Reuisu Literotica account. Linkara was asked directly in the replies to this Tweet what this was:
Linkara Old Porn Site Tweet.png
Link (Archive)
In a now deleted reply, Linkara would answer the question directed at him about the Reuisu screenshot, confirming that all the accounts /tv/ found belonged to him:

Linkara Subheader.pngNot So Awesome
On March 24th, 2018, Linkara would announce on the AT4W website that he was leaving Channel Awesome:
Linkara Leaves Channel Awesome.png
Link (Archive)

The main reason for Linkara's departure was a controversy involving allegations against Channel Awesome CEO Mike Michaud regarding numerous workplace grievances. On April 2nd, 2018, a 70 page document known as the "Not So Awesome" document was released sharing accounts from various Channel Awesome contributors about their experiences working for Channel Awesome. Linkara was among the former contributors who contributed to the document. In his section, Linkara discusses his experiences working for Channel Awesome and the production of his Atop the Fourth Wall movie:
Linkara Not So Awesome 1.pngLinkara Not So Awesome 2.pngLinkara Not So Awesome 3.pngLinkara Not So Awesome 4.png
Aside from his own personal account, Linkara is mentioned multiple times in regards to the Channel Awesome special To Boldly Flee, where he took issue with the script implying his character Mechakara rapes Lindsay Ellis/The Nostalgia Chick offscreen:

Let's not forget that Linkara loved to include graphic rape scenes in his novels and webcomics.

While doing Atop the Fourth Wall, Linkara was not alone. He has had a couple of relationships over the years.

Linkara Subheader.pngIron Liz
Linkara and Iron Liz.png
Elizabeth Skochil (Powerword: Daniel Skochil), commonly known online as Iron Liz or The GREAT Iron Liz, is an ex "girlfriend" of Linkara. Liz and Linkara initially met at a Barnes & Noble bookstore Linkara worked at before Liz joined TGWTG. Linkara would start dating Iron Liz in 2009, with Liz and Linkara even living together. The two having a seemingly amicable split which Liz announced on November 29, 2011. Liz had a blog called The Foundry and did a TGWTG show called Pen and Paper Corner where she reviewed tabletop RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons. Linkara wanted to incorporate Liz into his AT4W videos, with her first appearance being in Linkara's Warrior #2 and #3 review. Linkara even had Liz stand in and do AT4W reviews for him. Unfortunately, Liz was not well received by Linkara's viewers, which she addressed in a blog post:
Iron Liz Blog Post about Haters.png
Link (Archive)
Keep in mind that while Liz was doing the reviews, Linkara was still the writer behind them.

People were confused about Liz's gender for a very long time and suspected that she was a man. As a response, Liz would make videos where she only wore a bra to prove she was a True & Honest woman.
Iron Liz Bra.jpg
However, on November 29th, 2014, Liz would confirm that she was transgender on a stream with ex-TGWTG contributor LordKat (who also trooned out), in a now privated episode of his This Week in Games Livestream:
LordKat Stream.png
Link (Archive)
This of course brought Linkara's sexuality and supposed straightness into question as he dated Liz when she was pre-op and still had a dick. Shortly after confirming she was trans, Linkara's old porn accounts, where he liked shemale porn were unearthed in February of 2015 by /tv/. Liz even believed that Linkara was gay, to which Lewis asserted he was straight and Liz was always a woman.

Although trans, Liz is surprisingly level-headed, open to conversation with people, is a self-described libertarian moderate and Trump supporter (which great infuriates Linkara), and does not support the LGBT agenda. Liz is also a convert to Judaism, which she revealed in an interview with Jesse Lee Peterson on The Fallen State:

On July 4th, 2017, Kiwi Farms user @TerminusEst would have a conversation with Liz about her former relationship with Linkara.
Iron Liz DM 1.jpgIron Liz DM 2.jpgIron Liz DM 3.jpgIron Liz DM 4.jpgIron Liz DM 5.jpgIron Liz DM 6.jpgIron Liz DM 7.jpgIron Liz DM 8.jpgIron Liz DM 9.jpg

In 2021, Liz would decide to do a reboot of Linkara's Lightbringer comic, which Linkara had main public domain in 2013, and even managed to successfully crowdfund it on Indiegogo:

Link (Archive)

Liz would do several video interviews talking about her past with Linkara and the upcoming Lightbringer reboot. What was Linkara's reaction when told about this? He called Liz a piece of shit on Twitter, and contrary to their seemingly amiable split, claimed they were on bad terms:

Victoria "Viga" Gadson is Linkara's second girlfriend after Iron Liz and current wife. She was initially a fan of AT4W and TGWTG before meeting Linkara at a convention and eventually dating him. Linkara and Viga would get engaged on January 3rd, 2016 and got married on November 12th, 2017. Viga has helped Linkara with the Atop The Fourth Wall Movie and his analog horror film Winter of '83. Viga also makes the thumbnails for AT4W reviews:

Linkara Header.pngConclusionkara

What arguably makes Linkara the biggest lolcow to come out of TGWTG is his massive ego and inability to take criticism or a joke, which is very ironic considering he went from making terrible comics to reviewing and critiquing bad comics online. This is perfectly illustrated in a parody of Linkara by OneyPlays, and his poor reaction to it:

OneyPlays Animated Trump vs. Linkara:


Linkara's Response to the OneyPlays Parody:

While Doug Walker is able to laugh at parodies of himself and his past cringe, this is a lesson Linkara will seemingly never learn, only inviting more people to come and mock him atop the fourth lol.

As a guy who watches some of Linkara's episodes, I like to know what videos have him being appaling to fans. Don't really care about the whining about the Ad revenue though.
 
Meh, he seems pretty ok
I mean, he isn't that funny, but that's really no reason to hate him, and I can understand the ad revenue thing. The man just desperately wants to make money with his reviews. And yeah his comic is pretty shitty, but there's a lot of people on the Internet who make or have made shitty comics (myself included).

Indeed, he seems pretty ok. I used to be a fan but then lost interest. Like anyone trying to make a job out of e-fame, he and anyone else would desperately want to capitalize through reviews.

The only people that I've met that liked linkara are obese neckbeards/severe autistics. I haven't met one relatively normal fan ever. I had the great pleasure of reading over one fan's college level paper. It included the great accomplishments of not getting in to an argument over somebody saying the playstation sucks. He also knows that when he throws the thumbs up at his cousin it means he greatly approves. :lol:
 
I don't know if Linkara can be considered a lolcow, because I haven't really seen him interact with his fanbase. I only recall that people were complaining about how his plotlines interrupted the reviews, so he had to move them to the very end of the video. And I'm not sure why he likes to show those costumes off so much, especially the Power Rangers ones... OP is a good example.

It's quite obvious no one on TGWTG knows how to do a proper review, as Linkara just gives a summary of the plot of what he's reviewing, giving rise to the question why would one buy the thing when they can have some professional reviewer read out the whole thing to you in the same bland, monotone voice.
This is the reason I watch anything on TGWTG: I don't have the patience for full films, so 20-minute summaries are just my thing.

But hey, I don't mean to shoot this topic down. Uncle Linky seems to know more about Linkara than I do, and I'm willing to listen.

I feel sorry for Iron Liz, though. She doesn't deserve the shit she gets for her looks. (:_( She's my kindred spirit.

The difference here is that Linkara has come to terms that his comic was ridiculous and can laugh about it. Unlike, say, Chris, who still believes Sonichu is a million-dollar idea.

To back up Linkara coming to terms about his Lightbringer comic, I'll let this copy & paste line from TV Tropes Old Shame page speak
Linkara has no problem bashing the first volumes of Lightbringer,admitting that not only is the art terrible (which is why he now outsources the artwork), but that the stories are excessively preachy. He invoked the Trope Name when explaining this on one episode of Atop The Fourth Wall, saying he was "stupid and full of myself and didn't know any better" when writing it.
When he was 13, he wrote a Self Insert Fic crossing over the Pokémon anime, Digimon Adventure, and Sailor Moon, copying a story from a Big Finish Doctor Who audio drama. He actually brought that up to Bennett and had him make fun of it.
Then, there are his self-published novels, which, while not nearly as bad as above examples, still show that Linkara has come far as a writer since he wrote them (on the bright side, they contain what may well be the origin of his nickname).
He admitted during Magfest 9 that the early chapters of Lightbringer were written when he was "young and opinionated", saying he'd even given up on editing them.
Really, he isn't like Chris where he thought his novels and comic would rake in a million dollars.
 
I've seen stuff by everyone on TGWTG, and I can finally say it's all just awful. I don't think Linkara is any better than anyone else there, but I don't pay much mind to whatever it is he does that makes him a lolcow.

But I will say the whole website is just pure unfunny.
 
The Hunter said:

I sort of agree. I may find some of the vids entertaining but really, is there anything funny about their videos? In fact, does any of the humor used really makes anyone laugh or does it only appeal to the die-hard, zealous fans?

I honestly can't see why people would have a problem with this. I mean the job is silly but if he can make a living off these videos then fair enough. Also if adblock is on blip takes longer so why not just turn it off for this one site?

As for TGWTG guys, don't see them as lolcows. I mean if you don't like their videos, fair enough. People have different tastes and interests that should be respected. But as far as I know they aren't particularly lolcow worthy minus an incident or two (see the Spoony drama). If anything it's their diehard fans that have more lolcow potential.

Oh my god this so much. (Although to be honest, Linkara does seem like a total shit.)
If you want a good chuckle, check out the TGWTG or Linkara tags on tumblr. Fanfiction, fan "confessions", fucking cosplay. Of people that review things online....poorly.

The only people that I've met that liked linkara are obese neckbeards/severe autistics. I haven't met one relatively normal fan ever. I had the great pleasure of reading over one fan's college level paper. It included the great accomplishments of not getting in to an argument over somebody saying the playstation sucks. He also knows that when he throws the thumbs up at his cousin it means he greatly approves. :lol:
...I like Linkara... :oops:

Let's face it. There are few on TGWTG that you could consider a lolcow but I consider Linkara to be the head honcho of lolcows on that site.

His so called comic "reviews" are nothing more than Let's Read's. He has a big ego with self entitlement issues and the way he treats his fans are appalling.
He pretty much whines at his fans when Ad revenue isn't paying his bills and demands you turn off adblock and buy his crappy merchandise.

He's also creator of the "Lightbringer" Web Comic. It's as bad as Sonichu. Like Chris, his main character is a Mary Sue of himself who is pretty much a ripoff of batman who kills villains as he's fit. The villains are straw men. (pretty much the same villain every issue.) His portrayal of women are pretty much how Chris portrays them. 1 dimensional stereotypes. :sonichu:

Well that's my lolcow rant on Uncle Linky for more lolz check out his ED Page.
