Breaking the Fourth Panel: Neonomicon and the Comic Book Frame (1 of 2)

[factthanolder]

Cool analysis.

[badadvicegoodtimes]

This is a brilliant analysis but the video needs to be subtitled.

[AllyourbasicGerrard]

@badadvicegoodtimes Thanks. Subtitles are actually available. Turn on CC.

Are you afraid to be heard by other people in the house? Or maybe you're doing these video's at an ungodly hour. Either way, you cannot be heard. Project your voice man.

how do you you know this is his last comic? why? is he retireing or dieying or something? i hope is not true! i fucking love his shit!

[AllyourbasicGerrard]

@MsBickle76 He clarified the situation recently, saying that he's giving up on comics as an industry, not as a medium. In other words, he'll more than likely write more comics, but they won't be within the framework of Marvel/DC/ABC/etc. I think they'll be self-published or something.

i wish i could hear your commentary because i am having the same problem everyone else is having. i can't understand word one of what you are saying mate. maybe some subtitles would help decipher your mumbling. i truley am interested in what your thoughts are because i love this comic. hopefully your next video is audible...

[AllyourbasicGerrard]

@uberzone808 Turn on CC. Everything is subtitled.

[uberzone808]

@AllyourbasicGerrard my bad, i see that now. cool video by the way :) i'm reading issue one looking at all the frames you mentioned....

[teak43]

You seem really perspicacious, Mumbly Joe, but maybe you can speak a bit louder in your next video.

I like the fact this guy is interested in Neonomicon and is getting such a sense of wonder out of it, however I think he is seeing a whole lot of stuff that just isn't there. After reading issue 2 yesterday it's even more blatant that Neonomicon is not THAT deep, even though it's an Alan Moore book.

[cha5]

@octagon79 I love it as a literary in joke and for me Neonomicon is a really memorable read although I'm not sure about all the conclusions AllyourbasicGerrard comes to in this video, but that's just me.

I will say that IMHO this is Moore's creepiest work since From Hell.

[Ginosion]

This is actually interesting. I would also believe that this comic had such careful layout if this comic wasn't trash.

[USAFSmiley87]

completely agree with 3:00 I also like how they add a black shadow behind the board on both panels. To me the most convincing pages of this theory. I also noticed the arrows, but didn't come up with they theory of 2D infiltrating 3D, good eye man. Good work. Whoever said this is a pretentious video is just jealous lol.

[MrSkinnersan]

Seriously, someone needs to re-do the audio on this so I can hear the seemingly clever voiceover

[tomson2]

Really interesting, well put forward and succinct.

[bobbertceiling]

i wish i could hear your damn voice... even cranked up the music kills it dude..

[AllyourbasicGerrard]

@bobbertceiling Sorry, definitely something I'll be doing different for the next analysis. Part 2 is more audible, but I've coded a Closed Caption into both videos so I'd recommend turning that on if it's not already.

[bobbertceiling]

@AllyourbasicGerrard

thanks

"I don't know about you, but that SCARES me." Ridiculous "analysis".

[AllyourbasicGerrard]

@ebolart That's just a bit of personal opinion/emotion. If you've read the issue you'll know it's damn creepy. I guess part of this video is exploring why that is.

I'd do the same if I was analysing Se7en, for instance.
