Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “What Happened and What’s Going On” [Review]

By David Harper | Feb 9, 2015 | Reviews

With the last episode – the midseason finale – leaving viewers with mouths agape and the show in a point with no obvious future, the biggest question I have for the second half is this: what’s next? Andrew Lincoln has said that the show is going to go in a radically different direction (his words, […]

Five Thoughts On Constantine’s “Angels And Ministers Of Grace” [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Feb 7, 2015 | Reviews

Looking back on last week’s episode, I wanted to feel like I was being too harsh on the episode. Largely because Jeremy Davies’ turn as Ritchie Simpson was a welcome return that brought a little bit of closure to the Newcastle Incident subplot that’s permeated the season so far. However, looking back, that welcome return […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 2/4/15

By Multiversity Staff | Feb 6, 2015 | 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 […]

“Lady Death: Apocalypse” #1 is Terrible, Really Should Have Seen This Coming [Review]

By James Johnston | Feb 6, 2015 | Reviews

As a millennial, I missed a lot of the comics boom of the 90’s. It’s been hailed as a golden era by several comics enthusiasts, usually the men with a ponytail who breathe a little heavier whenever a woman walks into a comic book store. With the Kickstarter-powered return of “Lady Death: Apocalypse”, one of […]

Now he’s teamed up with rich-girl Bianca from the white-walled City; and she’s got some plans of her own. Written and illustrated […]

By Keith Dooley | Feb 5, 2015 | Reviews

After too long of a hiatus, the intimate space epic that is “Saga” returns with the usual cast of characters and some hints of shockers yet to come. “Saga” #25, by the incomparable team of Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples, is another excellent chapter of a series that has remained consistently superb since issue […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Uprising” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 5, 2015 | Reviews

For a show that has paced itself extraordinarily well since about half-way through the first season, the second half of season three just hasn’t clicked yet. This week brings Oliver back to the foreground, so hopefully this is the episode that gets the show back on track, pacing wise. 1. Merlyn Ascending Malcolm Merlyn, in […]

“March: Book Two” Delivers Another Landmark Achievement Without Fear [Review]

By David Harper | Feb 4, 2015 | Reviews

In comics, there are many star creators from varying backgrounds and experiences. You have the pure comic creators like Dan Slott who – for the most part – stick to doing what they do in comics. Then you have others who become hyphenates thanks to expanding roles in Hollywood, like Mark Millar and Geoff Johns. […]

Five Thoughts on Agent Carter’s “The Iron Ceiling” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Feb 4, 2015 | Reviews

Welcome back to this week’s look back at last night’s episode of Agent Carter. Or, as we called it in my house, “HOW-LING COMMAND-OS! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAPCLAPCLAP*” We have fun here. 1. The Red Room Last night further teased the existence of the Red Room, a place where little girls are trained to grow up […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash’s “Crazy for You” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 4, 2015 | Reviews

This episode was a relatively slight one, but it featured a few really, truly important character moments and potential developments. Be warned that minor spoilers abound. 1. Peek-a-Boo gets it right My biggest complaint about The Flash thus far has been its treatment of the Rogues. Who have been portrayed in the comics as reluctant […]

By David Harper | Feb 3, 2015 | Reviews

Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen leave the comfy confines of DC Comics to voyage into deep space in their new Image series that is set to launch in March. Did it satisfy this reader? Well, you read the headline probably, so you know it’s a yes, but why was that the case? Let’s find out […]

Closing the Book on “The Unwritten: Apocalypse” #12 [Review]

By Walt Richardson | Feb 3, 2015 | Reviews

Almost a decade ago, Mike Carey and Peter Gross gave us one of the most satisfying conclusions to a serialized comic with “Lucifer” #75. With “The Unwritten: Apocalypse” #12, they have done it again. As it is difficult to review the finale of a long-running series without commenting on the substance of the issue or […]

Five Thoughts On Constantine’s “A Whole World Out There” [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Jan 31, 2015 | Reviews

Another week, another round of “Constantine” as we enter the home stretch on the last few episodes of this season. While episode nine’s return after the midseason break was a little disappointing to me personally as it jettisoned a lot of promising subplots to focus on a main plot that didn’t really do all that […]
