By Multiversity Staff | Dec 27, 2019 | Reviews

8, going on 9, years ago, DC did something radical. No, not in the slang 90s way but in the major, seismic shift sort of way. They took their entire line of comics, cancelled every single one of them, and rebooted their entire universe. Not only did they reboot it, they reset it, making a […]

In Memoriam: Monkey Punch

By Elias Rosner | Dec 26, 2019 | Columns

Kazuhiko Katō, I would venture to guess, is a name that not too many American comics readers are familiar with.
