Atop the Fourth Wall

Atop the Fourth Wall started on November 29, 2008, on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com and stars comic fan, Linkara, as he reviews really, really bad comic books produced by either Marvel, DC, Image or any other comic company out there.

Origin
The series started as a text recap series on Linkara's personal blog on Blogspot.com and moved onto videos after Linkara created a short video for the Ask That Guy With the Glasses contest, where people had to create answers to specific questions. Liking making videos so much, he decided to create videos where he would critique really bad comics. It wasn't long after that that the show was created.

Running Gags
Starting with the review of "Superman At Earth's End," Linkara had been shouting "I am a man!" in reference to the character shouting the same lines. Another running gag includes the use of a buzzer called "The continuity" alarm where a buzzer sounds every time Linkara mentions the back story of a comic or goes into the history of a character. Beginning with the Sinnamon review, Linkara would say "Because poor literacy is kewl!" whenever something is misspelled and the editor of the comic never caught it, or it is intentional. Case in point: In the "Newmen #1" review, a character is named Byrd as opposed to Bird.

Cameos
The show has cameos from other members of the TGWTG staff. Most notably when Linkara reviews two part comics. For a full list, please see: Cameos.
