Hello, and welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall

Meet Lewis Lovhaug's snarky alter ego, Linkara: an "eccentric" comic book fan who wears a
Nice Hat and reviews horrible comics. He started out writing text reviews of various comics on his blog
Atop the Fourth Wall. However, when doing a three part review on
Smoke and Mirrors, one of the low points of
The Clone Saga, he decided to finish off with a video review as an experiment. This new format turned out to be popular with his readers (and easier on him), so he continued to make videos. Eventually, he ended up joining
That Guy with the Glasses and has had many cameos in, and several crossovers with, a few of That Guy With The Glasses characters and their series. Lovhaug is also a major
Mystery Science Theater 3000 (and by extension,
Rifftrax) fan and will often make numerous references to the show, either in clips, quotes, or general joke style.
In addition to his reviews of bad comics he has also completed a
Let's Play of
Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, starring the unfraggable Ensign Munro. He and
Iron Liz, his former girlfriend and occasional co-operator, also post vlogs of themselves playing
Card Games such as
Yu-Gi-Oh! and
Sailor Moon in
You're Such a Card... Game!He is currently producing the
History of Power Rangers series, in which he looks back at the franchise (
ALL of it) and gives a serious but very informal overview about its elements
note it had no set schedule for the longest time, but after he earned a substantial amount on Patreon, he gave it a schedule, typically 4-5 months between each release.Apart from his work at
Atop the Fourth Wall Linkara has appeared in an episode of
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series as well as provided a voice for
Dragon Ball Abridged. Linkara is not only a critic but also a writer, creator of the webcomic
Lightbringer, several graphic collections in the
Angel Armor series, and indie title
Revolution of the Mask. His most prolific co-operator is Spoony of
The Spoony Experiment, with frequent crossovers, guest-stars and stories interchanged between the two shows.
