Ladies and gentlemen, as many of you know, I champion for equality and fair depiction of people other than straight white males in comics. Well, we’ve finally reached a jaw dropper. Lewis Lovhaug, also known as Linkara or that guy who reviews comic books, has reached his 300th episode and as such, did a review of Frank Miller’s Holy Terror. And boy, is it a doozy.

This comic… I almost don’t want to keep thinking about it. It’s bad. Just really bad. It is a racist diatribe against Arabs and Muslims, portraying most, if not all of them as savages and terrorists. Miller’s paranoid fantasies are also brought forth in all their ugly glory as it depicts Al Qaeda as a single group as part of a nebulous organization of terror that wormed its way into our government like S.P.E.C.T.E.R. of James Bond fame. The book promotes torture, glorifies the demonization of a culture of billions, and seems proud of itself for doing it. If I discover that Frank Miller has any legitimate fans after this garbage, I may drink so much that I actually go missing for a few days.

Please, watch this three-part episode. You owe it to yourselves as thinking people to know that this kind of sentiment is very real and worse, that it’s still getting published. Mr. Lovhaug needs an award for this episode. To be able to effectively rip apart this much printed bile and come out unscathed is truly a godly feat.

The full endeavor can be found here. Be warned, it’s over an hour and a half, but it is well worth it

About a week ago, late on the night of April 8th, James Hellwig passed away. Hellwig was a (in)famous person in the world of wrestling under the moniker of the Ultimate Warrior, which he eventually legally changed his name to. Now I was not into wrestling, but I have seen clips of him in his persona that can only be described as bat shit insane. I have also seen clips of him as a motivation speaker, where he revealed his homophobic nature with such words of wisdom as, “Queering does not make the world work.” However, my true introduction to the halls of the mountains of madness known as the Warrior’s mind through the short-lived comic series that he wrote simply called “Warrior.” If you’re tempted to read this incomprehensible mess, don’t bother; the ever talented Linkara and Spoony have taken the liberty of looking at all four issues and verbally tearing them to pieces in the way that only internet critics can do. Consider these videos the official wake for the Ultimate Warrior.

Goodnight, sweet warrior. And thousands of jawa demons skronk thee to the Terrain of Testament. DESTRUCITY!!!!!
