Quotes 

• Linkara : Hello, and welcome to the review series you yearn, called "Atop the Fourth Wall", where bad comics burn. Why am I speaking entirely in rhyme? Just be patient, my friends, I'll explain in due time. Today's story is strange and bizarre. You'd want to throw this comic to a place very far. What comic is this that deserves no veneration? It's issue 2 of "Star Trek: The Next Generation". Star Trek and Christmas? That is an odd pair. "Star Trek"'s a show where holidays are rare.

• Linkara : Riker extends greeting to the alien ship and their captain named Bronder. But something about this captain does make me ponder. There's something about him. Hmm, I need a memory enhancer. Wait! Holy crap, it's the Ninja-Style Dancer! Wow!

  [he looks to the Ninja-Style Dancer] 

  Linkara : You were in a Star Trek comic? Your star must be climbing!

  [the Ninja-Style Dancer holds up a sign reading, "I'm not doing this. I'm not doing the rhyming."] 

• Linkara : We open, as we often do, out somewhere in space.

  [sarcastically] 

  Linkara : In "Star Trek", of all things? What an odd case!
