* The title cards for WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall occasionally do this, though not as often as you might think, considering that some of the comics Linkara has reviewed have featured this trope on their covers. Two cases in particular mirror each other, though - the cards for ''ComicBook/{{Youngblood}}'' #3 and ''Series/DoctorWho Classics'' #7 mirror ''each other'', being back-to-back storyline episodes, with Linkara and [[KnightTemplar Lord Vyce]] facing each other with [[BadassArmFold crossed arms]], on [[https://drcrafty.deviantart.com/art/AT4W-Young-Blood-3-197469931 opposite]] [[https://drcrafty.deviantart.com/art/AT4W-Dr-Who-Classics-7-197470156 sides]]. Shaft and the Fifth Doctor's presence in each is incidental (and basically only to tie the cards in to the content actually being reviewed, of course).
