Christ I’ve been watching you since freshman year of high school. I’ve graduated college now. You’ve made Mondays( or whatever day you post now) way more tolerable. Always gave me something to look forward to. Thanks for all the laughs over the years. You even helped me get back into reading comics. I’d forgotten how much I loved them and how much joy they brought me. I read crisis on infinite earths and so many great stories because of you. Hears to another 15 years.
To think this comes out basically the day after I can finally use internet again after a storm removed all electricity in the area I currently am at… this is truly a gift and I’m looking forward to watching it. And happy anniversary!🎉
Just goes to show you how good Chris Yost's writing was. He's easily my favorite of the Parker brothers, but a large part of that is because he hasn't had his character butchered by a hack writer yet. Still, he's a great character in his own right who earned his webs on multiple occasions.

As a Mayday parker fan, I always look forward to our anual look into this messy time in spider-mans life XD And I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for "uncle" Kain
6:42 Kaine: Well I might eventually call myself Scarlet Spider and we can't both be Scarlet Spider. Even though there's going to be two Hawkeyes and and the Spider-Man of Earth-1610 will get to to stay Spider-Man when he starts living in our universe. Just ask the Gwen Stacy of Earth-65 about it when she shows up to say on our Earth too and changes her superhero identity from Spider-Woman to Ghost Spider.
29:59 That's actually a Ninja Turtle. The water tower is one they used as a lair during the City at War storyline, which apparently took place in the same time period as the Clone Saga.
The never ending story of Linkara and his feelings towards the decline/stagnancy of Spider-Man was something I was always educated and entertained by, but I never really thought much of how it affected me as a Marvel fan. All that changed when they did that whole utterly asinine thing with the “death” of Ms Marvel and what a complete waste that was just to get her to become a mutant. I will admit that the current miniseries co-written by MCU Kamala actor Iman Vellani has been pretty good…but still, what an utter pointless waste of time the whole thing was with her “death” in freaking Spider-Man.
It really says something when the best Spidey material out right now are movies and video games, but not the ORIGINAL COMIC where he was created! Having finished Spider-Man 2 and am currently replaying again Spider-Man 2018, the difference in quality is astounding!
Maybe. But considering how well the new Ms. Marvel comic written by Iman Vellani is doing with critics, i’d say Marvel got the last laugh. Besides she and Peter are officially on a mask off basis, so that will make for fun team ups
@@jeremyadler9620Not really. I agree the game is fantastic but objectively, the Zeb Wells arcs/individual comics are alright. Not the best, but severely overhated because the WTF MJ storyline is all anyone wants to talk about. That part’s not great- i agree with that. But i still like everything involving Norman and the gang wars and hell, even Dark Web had some cool visuals up its sleeve.
"the morally grey of jameson," he cares for peter, but at the same time pays for the spider-slayers where he has his FACE ON THEM! But yeah, that's the fun bit about Jameson. BTW, When I was young I would read the Comic strip version, THERE WAS A LOT OF JAMESON on it! And it was the Werewolf story, so it's a lot "Don't kill him Spider-Man, he's my son." Good video.
Happy 15th anniversary everyone I have been watching the show for 5 years now and I’ve been enjoying every minute of every new video of it. Thank you Lewis for everything here’s to another 15 years.
Clive is about to get a MASSIVE discount on his rental space or you're about to get an open room for renting out again! And if various costumed fellas who bear a striking resemblance to your friend Linksano isn't the heart of the last 15 years I dont know what is!! Found ya in High School and apologizes if this dates ya but from about 17 to 31 now you've remained a favorite online personality and reviewer of mine! From one nerd to another Congrats on 15 and here's to another 15. And as a fellow Minnesotan get some plastic on your window what are ya waiting on c'mon ;)
In case anybody is curious, we have five storyline left in the main clone saga... The Lost Years, Back from the Edge, Players and Pawns, Exiled, and Time Bomb. But remember, that's not the end of Clone Saga. It's just the start of Ben Reilly's return in the 90s and then the end with Peter's departure. There's still so very much more.
Dang. I've been watching since ye olden days of the "plaid button-up under the jacket" outfit. Two outfits and over a decade later, not a lot has changed - but that ain't a bad thing. Your reviews were what got me into comics to begin with way back when, and your (mostly) consistent uploads over the years are one of the few things that I've consistently enjoyed on youtube. I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but keep on trucking and being awesome, Linkara. Here's to fifteen more years of Atop the Fourth Wall!
A story where Peter is framed for murder, being aided by a magical character and has to team up with two variants of himself shortly after the death of aunt May! this story is a like a proto No Way Home!
Just to kinda revisit this point, in the 90s animated show there was a two-parter where Peter got framed for selling weapon blueprints (it was orchestrated by Wilson Fisk's son since he needed a fall guy) and the person who represented Peter was none other than Matt Murdock and it's all but spelled out that Jameson hired him to be Peter's lawyer. Just goes to show JJ does care even if he doesn't show it.
Linkara's jokes and comments about it reminded me that Marvel monkey-paw'd the hell out of a return and new angle for Ben Reilly, and resurrected him just to make him the Jackal, a villain and whatever else they've done with him (I think I saw from one of the Marvel mobile games that he got a new suit and is called something like Void or Null or something now?). Is that the price paid for also bringing Kaine back but eventually making him fairly cool, redeemed and liked after all this clone nonsense?
The Beatle is one of the only Spidey villains where I actually think the female update they did later on is actually an improvement. She's more of a plotter, she has a welcoming side for people she likes, her connection to another Spidey villain helps inform her personality, and she isn't a simple power-up or power-down.

I always thought comics weren't for me, but over these many years you've helped me overcome that perception - at least enough to pick up a handful and come to really appreciate them. Thank you for everything you do on this channel.
Ive been watching you since 2009, started when i found you on another site After 14.5 years, i can definitely say its been an amazing ride and I look forward to the next 15! Congrats Linkara!
Fun fact because you mentioned Ben's alias being ridiculed: The name was never given a German translation on behalf of Scarlet most closely translating into "Scharlach", which is not only a shade of red, but also the German word for scarlet fever. That was shortly before Marvel Germany was formed and translating character names stopped being a thing altogether, with badly translating names like Scarlet Spider, Nightcrawler and Wolverine (that animal is called a glutton in German) being a main reason cited. Oh yeah, the reason Marvel Germany got formed is that the former publisher of Marvel comics in Germany basically collapsed during the Clone Saga. I'm not convinced that timing's a coincidence.
Happy 15th anniversary! Here's to the next 15 years, indeed! In regards to the Mark of Kaine: yeah, pretty much a nothingburger for most of its time. And yeesh, that artwork in issue 4. But especially funny to me was Judas Traveller's vague dialogue about what may or may not be his motives, as it so perfectly shows that the writers had no idea yet what it would be.
Wow, 15 years! I think that even in videos before your 10th anniversary you were making comments on how you had been doing this for a while. You've really come on leaps and bounds since your early episodes, especially with having matured enough to be more respectful about how you handle sensitive issues. On the review itself, it's nice to see the cats and have a 90's dude cameo, and I find myself rooting for the pride Cybermats. I appreciated the new Cyberman clip as well. I also thought that some shots of MJ made it look like she had Starfire hair, relatively modest Starfire hair, but still. Hopefully this schedule slippage doesn't mean you will ditch an episode from this month's Doctor Who 60th anniversary month. I am not into horror at all so I tend not to watch your October stuff (aside from the anniversary) and particularly look forward either to Secret Origins month or Doctor Who in this case, as there is plenty I could comment on.
32:43 I know this isn't TECHNICALLY a missed opportunity, since I doubt Lewis has viewed the Riblin saga(though he should, it's incredibly quotable), but all I could think of with that panel was, "MCRIB LASER ACTIVATE!"
Best 15th Anniversary Wishes!!! Show is now as old as I was when I started watching it... I am as shocked as you are. Thank You for amazing moments and storylines over the years and here's hoping for many more. Today didn't need anything more than a good video and nice cameos from our favorite Dude. All the best!
Congrats on 15 years. I wonder how Linkara would feel knowing that not only is Judas Traveller back, but hes a major player in the current run of X-Men related comics. And Spider-Cide had a surprisingly good send off in JM DeMatteis' Ben Reilly: Spider-Man mini from last year.
11:43 Amusingly enough that would be a PERFECT way to keep track of things in the superhero world when you think about it. I'm honestly surprised they don't have more characters doing that.
36:37 I'm pretty sure I've seen all your episodes, and every time Kane shows up I have to google him again to remember anything about him. If that's not a condemnation I don't know what would be.
I just realized, no new outfit for the next 5 years? Makes sense I guess, this one hasn’t really gotten to see much action compared to the other two. Looking forward to what the future holds for the show!
Man. I randomly stumbled on your third anniversary video when it was posted and immediately went to your backlog. Seen every video since. Congratulations on your milestone.
20:57 I've watched Dune and upgraded my geek points since I was wandering about that reference back in Steam Wars, so now I properly get that reference. Leveled up my nerdom
Another note: the weird proportions at like 10:20 is called a V Taper. It's a bodybuilding thing. The artist probably used a bodybuilder as reference for the picture, which is not a normal thing with someone as usually thin and lean as Peter Parker.
15 years oh man what a trip been following your videos since kickassia crossover watch that and was interested in checking your videos and I was hooked been ever since, hope the next fifteen are just as amazing!!! 😀
15 years from now you'll still be doing Youngblood and the Clone Saga, I don't know if that's inspirational or depressing; but hopefully before the 30th anniversary they'll undo One More Day.
15 years of AT4W being on the internet, Still a lot of fun reviewing the Clone Saga, And still loving the running gag of This is still starting to sound like a bad comic book plot.
It's kind of remarkable in a world where both the Clone Saga and One More Day exist, Zeb Wells is working overtime to be the definitive worst Spider-Man run ever.

But especially funny to me was Judas Traveller's vague dialogue about what may or may not be his motives, as it so perfectly shows that the writers had no idea yet what it would be.
HAPPY 15 YEARS OF ATFW!!!!!
7:26 gamma irradiated spider clone. Do it marvel!
Wow, 15 years! I think that even in videos before your 10th anniversary you were making comments on how you had been doing this for a while. You've really come on leaps and bounds since your early episodes, especially with having matured enough to be more respectful about how you handle sensitive issues.
On the review itself, it's nice to see the cats and have a 90's dude cameo, and I find myself rooting for the pride Cybermats. I appreciated the new Cyberman clip as well. I also thought that some shots of MJ made it look like she had Starfire hair, relatively modest Starfire hair, but still.
Hopefully this schedule slippage doesn't mean you will ditch an episode from this month's Doctor Who 60th anniversary month. I am not into horror at all so I tend not to watch your October stuff (aside from the anniversary) and particularly look forward either to Secret Origins month or Doctor Who in this case, as there is plenty I could comment on.
32:43 I know this isn't TECHNICALLY a missed opportunity, since I doubt Lewis has viewed the Riblin saga(though he should, it's incredibly quotable), but all I could think of with that panel was, "MCRIB LASER ACTIVATE!"
It's okay to have a lowkey anniversary. All that matters is that you entertained and helped so many, myself included. So thank you.
YOU CAN'T OUTRUN CHASM FOREVER
As someone who lived in Sheboygan Wisconsin for ten years I can confirm it is basically purgatory.
I'm willing to bet a thousand dollars you have kraut ancestry.
Best 15th Anniversary Wishes!!! Show is now as old as I was when I started watching it... I am as shocked as you are. Thank You for amazing moments and storylines over the years and here's hoping for many more. Today didn't need anything more than a good video and nice cameos from our favorite Dude. All the best!
You know, I'd love to see Legal Eagle review the Trial of Peter Parker.
Happy anniversary, AT4W! Thank you for reviews all these years!
Congrats on 15 years.
I wonder how Linkara would feel knowing that not only is Judas Traveller back, but hes a major player in the current run of X-Men related comics.
And Spider-Cide had a surprisingly good send off in JM DeMatteis' Ben Reilly: Spider-Man mini from last year.
MJ getting worried about her pregnancy just reminded me of hearing about a story where she got cancer from Peter...
Ah, Spider-Man Reign

Amusingly enough that would be a PERFECT way to keep track of things in the superhero world when you think about it. I'm honestly surprised they don't have more characters doing that.
Congrats on 15 years
Happy Belated Anniversary Linkara. Please continue to keep up the great work.
36:37 I'm pretty sure I've seen all your episodes, and every time Kane shows up I have to google him again to remember anything about him. If that's not a condemnation I don't know what would be.
Linkara also finds the way to have the best of celebrations and this was a great festive anniversary
Happy 15th, AT4W.
I just realized, no new outfit for the next 5 years? Makes sense I guess, this one hasn’t really gotten to see much action compared to the other two. Looking forward to what the future holds for the show!
Man. I randomly stumbled on your third anniversary video when it was posted and immediately went to your backlog. Seen every video since. Congratulations on your milestone.
15 years. Holy moly! Congratulations!
21:58 I was thinking “It fits a clone falling apart” and then every character looked like that
20:57 I've watched Dune and upgraded my geek points since I was wandering about that reference back in Steam Wars, so now I properly get that reference. Leveled up my nerdom
Ok who had “Linkara sings Steven Universe” on their 2023 bingo card?
Another note: the weird proportions at like 10:20 is called a V Taper.
It's a bodybuilding thing. The artist probably used a bodybuilder as reference for the picture, which is not a normal thing with someone as usually thin and lean as Peter Parker.
I haven’t been around since the very beginning but I was pretty close, the Defenders review I think is when I started. Happy to still be on this ride
I saw Linkara uploaded a Clone Saga review and said aloud “oh, it’s anniversary time!!!” ❤❤❤
Thanks for 15 years of laughs Mr Lovehaug.
Oh hey, it's the debut of the Quick-Change Costume! That was always one of my favorites to use in the PS1 game
13:24 GREAT CONTINUITY!!!!
What a entertaining 15 years of Good bad comics!!!! Congratulations Linkara AtopTheFourthWall!!! Looking forward to another 15 more years
Man this made my day I’ve been a fan for 12 of the 15 years and it’s been a hell of a ride
Happy 15th, Linkara.
happy 15th anniversary man
15 years oh man what a trip been following your videos since kickassia crossover watch that and was interested in checking your videos and I was hooked been ever since, hope the next fifteen are just as amazing!!! 😀
A Herty Congrats on 15 years Linkara, it’s been a fun ride!
15 years from now you'll still be doing Youngblood and the Clone Saga, I don't know if that's inspirational or depressing; but hopefully before the 30th anniversary they'll undo One More Day.
Yay! 15 years of AT4W! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
Happy Anniversary!
Also, were you serious about planning to sell robomats, because I would totally buy one.
15 years of AT4W being on the internet, Still a lot of fun reviewing the Clone Saga, And still loving the running gag of This is still starting to sound like a bad comic book plot.
Bah gawd, it´s gotta be Kane!
Congrats on 15 years. Here is to many more years!
I am a recent subscriber, just a few months but in that time I have gone through most of the Linkara catalogue. Congratulations on 15 years.
The Beetle got the biggest glow up in the Ultimate Comics.
15 years is a great achievement, but this just means you can do even more for your sweet 16th!
Thanks for 15 years of wicked awesome videos, been with you for like 12 I think, I am looking forward to the next 15 years.

It's kind of remarkable in a world where both the Clone Saga and One More Day exist, Zeb Wells is working overtime to be the definitive worst Spider-Man run ever.
Its make so thankful that there still good Spider Man stories out thre and Ulimate Spider Man be hopefully good
