Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “This Is Your Sword” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | May 7, 2015 | Reviews

For the most part, Arrow is quite similar, in tone, to Batman stories. But tonight, there were very far more allusions to the Superman family of films/TV than anything else. Let’s go through those references, but know that spoilers follow. 1. Superman II Twist OK, so that last scene in Nanda Parbat was, essentially, the […]

Agents of SHIELD Scars

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “Scars” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 6, 2015 | Reviews

Alright, ladies and gentlemen! We’re past the Ultron threshold, and hopefully you’ve all seen the film so we can crawl out of our spoiler-deflecting bunkers and interact again like normal people again! Besides, we’ve got big, penultimate-y things to go over, so who has time to even talk about killer robots in the first place, […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash’s “Grodd Lives” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | May 6, 2015 | Reviews

Not since the halcyon days of Challenge of the Superfriends has my television been so inundated with comic concepts that just shouldn’t work on television succeeding wildly. Be warned, some spoilers follow. 1. Grodd on a TV show. 2015, amirite? During Avengers: Age of Ultron, I had to pinch myself for a second: if you […]

By Multiversity Staff | May 4, 2015 | Reviews

There are a lot of great books released each week. 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 […]

The DC3 Presents: A New Day Dawns in Divergence #1

By Zach Wilkerson | May 4, 2015 | Reviews

While all of us at Multiversity are fans of a wide spectrum of comics, there are a few of us that tend to self-identify as “DC guys.” We’ve cried for justice; we’ve been through the blackest nights and the brightest days. And now, we’ve been culled together for a new column to focus on some […]

Wiebe and Christmas’s “Pisces” #1 Will Leave Your Head Swimming [Review]

By Michelle White | May 1, 2015 | Reviews

Kurtis Wiebe’s last jaunt into horror, “Green Wake”, was a Lynchean experience that lingered in our memories. Johnnie Christmas’s idiosyncratic work on “Sheltered” was eye-catching and visceral. There were always going to be high expectations for a Shadowline horror series featuring both these talents, but with its nihilistic tone – and buckets of blood – […]

Now, for their first “Steven Universe” extra-sized special, kaboom! has gathered up a wide array of talent to give Greg some time at the center of attention and explore what makes him […]

Trust, Love and Friendship Over Sex in “Sunstone” Volume 2 [Review]

By Jess Camacho | Apr 30, 2015 | Reviews

Stjepan Sejic’s “Sunstone” returns with the next chapter in the blossoming relationship between Ally and Lisa. This time around Lisa and Ally gain new friends and a secret is revealed.

Pick Of The Week: World’s Collide And The Impossible Fights Back In “The Multiversity” #2 [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Apr 30, 2015 | Reviews

For the last eight or so months, Grant Morrison and a team of amazing artists have been exploring DC’s Multiverse as forces that threaten to attack the very existence of life itself face off against impossible heroes. Here, with “Multiversity” #2 that sort comes to a close. Or does it? This review of “Multiversity” #2 […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Al-Sah-Him” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 30, 2015 | Reviews

This week, Arrow was an hour long game of chicken between the audience and the producers. Both sides kept waiting for the other to blink, but the question still, more or less, remains the same: is Oliver really brainwashed? Keep reading to find out, and note that minor spoilers will be discussed. 1. The transitions […]

Agents of SHIELD "The Dirty Half Dozen"

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “The Dirty Half Dozen” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 29, 2015 | Reviews

Last night the last pre-Age of Ultron episode of Agents of SHIELD aired with the aptly titled “The Dirty Half Dozen,” which effectively brought a few emotional elements of this season to a close while setting up the last few episodes for Ultron-y madness and “everything is changed forever!” platitudes used appropriately. 1. The Gang’s All Here […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash’s “The Trap” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 29, 2015 | Reviews

Wow. Wow. Spoilers follow. 1. Well, they’re holding nothing back, are they? I know I can tend to beat a dead horse over this, but I honestly cannot believe how much has happened this season. Most shows would’ve saved the “Wells is the Reverse Flash” story for, at least, season 2 or 3. But nope, […]

ApocalyptiGirl: An Aria for the End Times (1st Edition cover)

Andrew MacLean Breathes New Life Into Dystopian Sci-Fi With “ApocalyptiGirl: An Aria For The End Times” [Advance Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Apr 28, 2015 | Reviews

Dystopias are a genre of fiction I keep coming back to. Despite the fact that post-apocalypse stories, often those featuring some measure of zombie, are all the rage these days, dystopian fiction has been around for decades as often a warning from the author to change our ways lest we end up in a horrible […]

Don’t Frik With Me: “Slurricane” #8 [Review]

By Mike Romeo | Apr 24, 2015 | Reviews

The single panel comic is a difficult thing to master. The trick is to somehow force the reader to determine what the events leading up to and out of a single moment of time are, and to do so without them even knowing that they’re doing it. As a result, single panel comics tend to […]
