Review: Creepy #11

By | Feb 15, 2013 | Reviews

Arriving just in time for Valentine’s Day (even if this review isn’t), this edition of Dark Horse’s anthology series “Creepy” centers on horrific love stories. And why not? Between the images of arrows piercing hearts and the rhetoric about eternity and soul mates, there’s always been something faintly funereal about this much-beleaguered pseudo-holiday. But regardless […]

Review: Change #3

By | Feb 14, 2013 | Reviews

Change is scary. Change is polarizing. Change is certainly confusing. It makes sense that a comic named “Change” would be all these things as well. But it’s certainly been showing us a hell of a messy, postmodern, Lovecraftian time, and here, in its second-last issue, it’s all starting to make a skewed kind of sense. […]

Review: Dia De Los Muertos

By | Feb 7, 2013 | Reviews

More than unfortunate, more than tragic, more than anything else, death is weird. It makes homes, people and situations strange again, ripped out of context because there’s someone missing. Taking inspiration from the Mexican Day of the Dead, this seems to be the central conceit behind “Dia De Los Muertos” – these (chiefly Rossmo-illustrated) stories […]

Review: Orc Girl

By | Jan 31, 2013 | Reviews

Short stories can be tricky little creatures – especially in comics, where reading time per page can be exceptionally short. Every caption becomes a keystone, every detail in the artwork essential to the whole. Which is why it’s particularly wonderful to come across a collection of stories as well orchestrated and deftly laid out as […]

Review: Witch Doctor, Mal Practice #3

By | Jan 25, 2013 | Reviews

This second run on the “Witch Doctor” concept from got a solid start, and now that it’s reached its halfway point, it looks like this Skybound title is as weirdly entertaining as ever. Written by Brandon Seifert Illustrated by Lukas Ketner Dr. Morrow’s medical practice – diagnosing and treating supernatural diseases – has been disrupted […]

Review: It Girl and the Atomics #6

By | Jan 24, 2013 | Reviews

After an arc full of excitement, capped off with an epic video-game duel, It Girl is taking a break; and as per the five-on, one-off pattern that Rich and Norton have decided to follow, this is a one-shot that stands completely apart from It Girl’s adventures so far. In the spotlight this month: Mr. Gum! […]

Friday Recommendation: Repulse

By | Jan 18, 2013 | Columns

There are some comics out there that you can only recommend with some reservations, and I’m happy to say that “Repulse” from Szymon Kudranski and Image Comics is one of them. First of all, you should read it in one sitting. It’s 72 pages, so not a big deal. Second of all, you should read […]

Review: Li’l Depressed Boy #15

By | Jan 18, 2013 | Reviews

“Li’l Depressed Boy” has got a special place in our hearts here at Multiversity, and every now and then we just have to check in on him. But rather than being that trainwreck of a friend who always needs your help at the worst times (as the title would seem to suggest), this comic is […]
