“Animosity” #5

By Alice W. Castle | Feb 16, 2017 | Reviews

The world changed when the animals woke up. The world was rocked on its axis and every notion humans ever had about civilisation, about philosophy, about the nature of the mind has been thrown out of the window. That’s the backdrop for “Animosity” from Marguerite Bennett and Rafael de Latorre as they chart the journey […]

“The Wild Storm” #1

By Alexander Jones | Feb 16, 2017 | Reviews

After months of waiting, DC’s resurrection of an old line of comics rises from the ashes with “The Wild Storm” #1. If that wasn’t enough to make fans curious, acclaimed WildStorm writer Warren Ellis paired with artist Jon Davis-Hunt likely will be. While this newly aligned roster of properties may not be enough to convert […]

Pick of the Week: “Super Sons” #1

By Robbie Pleasant | Feb 16, 2017 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

There’s nothing like seeing a young hero grow into their own, find their place in the comic universe, and forge friendships among their peers. Put an accomplished writer like Peter J. Tomasi behind it, combined with the artwork of Jorge Jimenez, and you’ve got a winning formula. So let’s see how the first issue of […]

Mickey Mouse death Valley

‘Mickey Mouse in Death Valley’

By Matthew Garcia | Feb 14, 2017 | Reviews

From April to September 1930, newspaper readers found themselves deeply involved in a high stakes wild west adventure rivaling the most insane pulps from people like B. Traven and H. Rider Haggard. In addition to helping cement the status of an iconic character, the story was filled with all manner of chases, explosions, gunplay, low humor, […]

The Lego Batman Movie

By Nicholas Palmieri | Feb 13, 2017 | Movies, Reviews

To understand what a feat The Lego Batman Movie is, first consider the concept: a spin-off of an animated movie based on a toy line based on licensed characters that originated in comics. How could something so far removed from the source material understand the characters and their history better than any recent movie starring […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 2/8/17

By Multiversity Staff | Feb 13, 2017 | Reviews

There is a lot to cover on Wednesdays. We should know, as collectively, we read an insane amount of comics. Even with a large review staff, it’s hard to get to everything. With that in mind, we’re back with Wrapping Wednesday, where we look at some of the books we missed in what was another […]

John Carter The End #1 Featured

“John Carter: The End” #1

By Alexander Jones | Feb 10, 2017 | Reviews

With no predisposition to the character and no lingering need for such a property to return so soon after a failed film, “John Carter: The End” still manages to be a welcomed minimalistic approach to a character who is about as interesting as his name suggests. The licensed property is plugged into a dystopian future, […]

Wicked and Divine #26 Featured

“The Wicked + The Divine” #26

By Jaina Hill | Feb 10, 2017 | Reviews

“You’re lying. You know more than that.” First with a god-powered throw-down, then with a high-pressure negotiation, “The Wicked + the Divine” #26 keeps up the momentum. Ever since Persephone exploded Ananke, the series has been let loose, rushing ever-faster to an unknown destination. Probably somewhere bad. As the stakes are made more clear and […]

“Suicide Squad” #11

By Kent Falkenberg | Feb 10, 2017 | Reviews

Ahh, that sweet, post-crossover afterglow. The perfect chance to hop on or off a title. So while the Suicide Squad catches their breath after a spirited throwdown with the Justice League, let’s have a look at whether now’s a good time to sneak off into the night or to roll over for another go with […]

“Steven Universe” #1

By Robbie Pleasant | Feb 9, 2017 | Reviews

Steven Universe, as a TV show, is remarkable in terms of characters, morals, and storytelling. It blends great messages, world building, and just a bit of anime inspiration behind a colorful tale of a young boy who summons a shield from a gem on his bellybutton. But does it translate well into comics? Well, let’s […]

“New Super-Man” #8

By Nicholas Palmieri | Feb 9, 2017 | Reviews

Rom Annual 2017 Featured

“Rom Annual 2017”

By Rowan Grover | Feb 9, 2017 | Reviews

IDW’s “Rom” reboot has been well received so far, and has smoothly integrated into the Hasbroverse alongside fellow 80’s franchises “Transformers” and “G.I. Joe”. So it comes as no surprise that Chris Ryall and Christos Gage decided to dedicate their annual to exploring the Space Knight’s origin story. But does it contribute to the unique […]

Death Be Damned #1 Featured Image

“Death Be Damned” #1

By Alice W. Castle | Feb 9, 2017 | Reviews

As a great man once said, there ain’t no grave can hold my body down. Pretty sure that song was about accepting death and meeting God or something, though, and not coming back from the dead to exact your revenge upon the men that killed you and your lived ones. Ah, you know, same difference. […]

Detective Comics #950 Cover Edit

Pick of the Week: “Detective Comics” #950

By Ken Godberson III | Feb 9, 2017 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Nine-Hundred and Fifty issues. Not all of them starred the Dark Knight, but this is quite the accomplishment. With that comes a larger issue (and larger price tag) and a couple stories to dig into. Let’s see how it is. Written by James Tynion IV Illustrated by Marcio Takara, Alvaro Martinez & Eddy Barrows “League […]

Sheriff of Babylon Vol 2 Featured

“Sheriff of Babylon Volume 2: Pow. Pow. Pow.”

By Paul Lai | Feb 6, 2017 | Reviews

At the time of this writing, stories have flooded the media in response to the Trump administration’s “travel” ban against seven majority-Muslim nations. Stories told by American veterans about self-sacrificing Iraqi interpreters seeking a promised welcome in America. Or news profiles of refugees now waylaid by blunt policies after years torn from their homes and […]

Transformers Lost Light #2 Featured

“Transformers: Lost Light” #2

By Alexander Jones | Feb 3, 2017 | Reviews

Even though a new status quo needs to be established for the main Lost Light team, the issue already thrusts Rodimus, Megatron and the full crew into an alternate reality. The idea is a fun notion, but Roberts might be taking on too much plot here in too little time. This issue could have easily […]
