Bridging the Gap: Issue #7

By | Jan 14, 2013 | Annotations

There is a heck of a lot to analyze in this issue, even for “Mind the Gap”! Bear with me as I get nitpicky with it, and spin out a crackpot theory or two. A prefatory note: our cast list only differs from last issue’s in that Elle’s brother, Dane’s father, and Miles are present. […]

Bridging the Gap: Issue #6

By | Jan 11, 2013 | Annotations

Hello! Matt has had to step down from writing Bridging the Gap, so from now on I’ll be the one running a fine-toothed comb through the beguiling bedhead that is “Mind the Gap”. Uh, that metaphor didn’t work out too well. Anyway, right now we’ve got the first two issues of the new arc to […]

Review: Ghost #3

By | Jan 11, 2013 | Reviews

Hurrah for gracefully-handled origin stories! That’s certainly what we get in regards to Ghost, Dr. October, and Bobby Chambers in this issue, and for all that, nothing about this issue feels crowded or overly compressed. Written by Kelly Sue DeConnick Illustrated by Phil Noto Ghost finally discovers her true name and identity! As they investigate […]

Review: The Hollows #2

By | Jan 10, 2013 | Reviews

In theory, I don’t like to review both the first and second issues of a series. Why do both, right? But when a first issue is as amazing as “The Hollows” #1 was, some kind of follow-up feels necessary — to see if the magic is still happening, and attempt to smoke out its source. […]

Review: Punk Rock Jesus #6

By | Jan 4, 2013 | Reviews

There’s been a lot of love here at Multiversity for Sean Murphy’s “Punk Rock Jesus” — it even topped our “Best Mini-Series” list for 2012, despite having one more issue to go. But did PRJ come to the spectacular and satisfying finish that we all hoped for? Written and Illustrated by Sean Murphy In this […]

Review: Harvest #5

By | Jan 3, 2013 | Reviews

The last issue of Lieberman and Lorimer’s icy miniseries about the illicit organ trade is full of surprises — but they’re not all the good kind of surprises. A mixed bag of an issue, this isn’t the best way to cap things off, but the virtues that have made “Harvest” such a great read so […]

Multiversity Keeps It Real: Two Generals

By | Jan 1, 2013 | Columns

Scott Chantler’s Two Generals is more than a true story about friendship and loss in World War II. It’s also the story of Chantler’s own grandfather — one the author feels would mortify the man had he lived to read it. But as the author explains in the concluding pages, “we must hand [our families’ […]

Review: Nowhere Men #2

By | Dec 21, 2012 | Reviews

The first issue of Nowhere Men got a solid 8.0 from us, establishing an interesting new universe in which a “Fab Four” group of scientists have gained international popularity… and notoriety. The second issue continues on similar lines in that there isn’t a whole lot of plot or thematic depth as of yet, but the […]

Review: Comeback #2

By | Dec 20, 2012 | Reviews

So: “Comeback” #1 was slow and a bit talky, but enjoyable overall. “Comeback” #2 has the same good bones to it, but is a little talkier; the pace of the series seems to be getting a little slower as more details are added to the mix, rather than quicker. These are the early warning signs […]

Friday Recommendation: McSweeney’s #13

By | Dec 14, 2012 | Columns

The purpose of any anthology, to my mind, is to introduce the reader to material he or she may not have encountered otherwise, usually by grouping submissions around a theme. Here, in the thirteenth issue of the literary quarterly McSweeney’s, the theme is simply comics, with Chris Ware acting as editor; and as you can […]
