By | May 4, 2020 | Columns

The disruption of the comics industry effected every ongoing series, and every working comics creator. It’s a huge situation with far reaching consequences. But we’re here to talk about “X-Men,” and a ton of series were put on hold at the strangest time. “Marauders” is dealing with the death of its main hero, which is […]

Buffyversity: A World Without Buffy

By | Apr 21, 2020 | Columns

So normally the way I pick a topic for Buffyversity is by reading the ongoing “Buffy” and “Angel” comics until inspiration strikes.

Welcome back to Mutantversity, a class offered at the Krakoan Akademos Habitat. This isn’t a place to find big reviews of X-books, (that’s what our Review section is for!) but it’s a great way to keep up with one of the most complicated superhero series around.

Soliciting Multiversity: Image’s Top 10 for June 2020

By | Mar 31, 2020 | Columns

As of the time of writing this, new comics are not being shipped. You’ve probably heard the story—measures being taken to avoid a contagious disease has led to various companies shutting down, including Diamond, the main (virtually only) distribution company in comics.

Buffyversity: A Tribute to Kendra Young

By | Mar 17, 2020 | Columns

For a character with so few appearance, Kendra Young sure left a big impact. She was the character that broke all the rules. Right in the show’s introduction it’s made clear- “In every generation, there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is […]
