Off the Cape: Baltimore

By | Mar 20, 2013 | Columns

When I wrote about my appreciation for Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden and Ben Stenbeck’s “Baltimore” for last week’s Friday Recommendation as part of our month-long tribute to Abe Sapien and the Mignolaverse, Brian suggested I take that a little further and do a column on it.  Naturally, since “Baltimore” is one of my favorite new […]

Off the Cape: Grim Leaper

By | Mar 5, 2013 | Columns

This week, I’d like to take a look at a little book that sneaked in last year under the radar for most mainstream comic book fans, but managed to steal the hearts of many of us here at Multiversity Comics.  That book was Kurtis J. Wiebe and Aluisio C. Santos’ “Grim Leaper: A Love Story […]

Off the Cape: Teddy-1

By | Feb 6, 2013 | Columns

Buying comics on Kickstarter can be a bit of a gamble especially if, like me, you want to support up-and-coming artists that haven’t had the chance to prove themselves before.  You never know beforehand how things will turn out.  So far, I’ve managed to be pretty lucky, as I’ve been satisfied with almost every project […]

Becky Cloonan is one of the most talented, hard-working artists working in comics today.  This past year alone, she helped revitalize the “Conan” line at Dark Horse, became the first woman to draw an issue of “Batman,” and worked on “Swamp Thing” and “B.P.R.D.: Hell On Earth: The Pickens County Horror.”  She also published a […]

In the 70’s and 80’s, Jim Henson became famous for his work in children’s entertainment.  Between “Sesame Street,” “The Muppet Show,” “Muppet Babies,” “The Storyteller,” “Fraggle Rock,” the Muppet movies, “The Dark Crystal,” and “Labyrinth,” Henson left a legacy behind unmatched by anyone but the great Walt Disney himself.  However, before his career as a […]

By | Dec 18, 2012 | Columns

Among much of the Multiversity staff, I have had many good things to say about the re-launch of Extreme Studios’ “Prophet.”  The series is helmed by Brandon Graham, with a rotating cast of talented rising stars on art duties, including himself, Simon Roy, Farel Dalrymple, Giannis Milogiannis, and colorists Richard Ballermann and Joseph Bergin III.  […]
