Just seemed like something that needed to be shared here.

I gave a thumbs down soon after 4 seconds where he says crappy. Listened for a minute. Imo, the guy is a moron.

He judged the 18-chapter Unity crossover based on the free teaser comic.

He might as well declare every Marvel movie and interconnected storyline up to Endgame a failure if he wasn't a big fan of Iron Man and hadn't seen the rest of them yet.

A moron who at least got some attention on YouTube. Maybe that's all he was going for. I do wonder if he was sincere. I'm not too inclined to waste my time on him, either way. Paleontology podcasts and boardgames podcasts and cryptid podcasts and OTV podcasts are stacking up (the digital version of stacking, anyway).

But that said, thanks Ferg. Some folks have the interest
I've been looking everywhere for the ultra-rare Turok vs Blister issue. Anybody able to help me out?

I'll be honest, as a VEI reader, I was extremely confused and bored when I read Unity 0 the first time. I didn't understand Solar's motivations, and the backstories of the VH1 characters were substantially different than what I was used to. I ended up reading only the first half of Unity and then stopped.

Upon everyone's recommendations, I went out and read all of the pre-unity books and then restarted Unity. It was only after I understood the universe that I began to feel how great Unity was.

So, I guess what I am saying is that I related very closely with the reviewer the first time I ready Unity. That said, I found it extremely funny that someone who was so disgusted with Unity had to have latex gloves on to flip the pages. I guess he couldn't handle having fingerprints on such a "terrible" book.
