Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “The Brave and the Bold” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 4, 2014 | Reviews

In the second half of this season’s crossover, Arrow spends a good deal of time ruminating on torture, and letting the audience know “Hey, this isn’t The Flash!” As always, spoilers abound, so beware! 1. World’s Finest One of the major criticism of Arrow early on was that the CW and co. were making a […]

Mignolaversity: Hellboy & The B.P.R.D. #1 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Dec 3, 2014 | Reviews

1952: everyone liked Ike, a young gal named Elizabeth captured the hearts of her British subjects, a baby named Bob Costas was already mythologizing the game of baseball into a pastiche of American cliches, and Hellboy joined the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. Written by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi Illustrated by Alex Maleev […]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 3, 2014 | Reviews

SHIELD flies to San Juan, Hydra goes to Vancouver, and oh god, everything is awful now, please, help, everyone’s going to die! It’s always sunny in the Marvel Universe.

Five Thoughts on The Flash’s “Flash Vs. Arrow” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 3, 2014 | Reviews

In the first of two crossover episodes (that, seemingly, aren’t really a two-parter), The Flash does a masterful job both joining itself to Arrow, but also reminding the audience why the shows are so different. Major plot points of the episode, many of which will veer into spoiler territory, follow, so be warned. 1. The […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Coda” [Review]

By David Harper | Dec 1, 2014 | Reviews

It’s time folks. Someone’s going to die, and it ain’t going to be me. And by that, I mean on the show I’m reviewing, TV’s “The Walking Dead”. For a while, I’ve been saying Carol was going to bite the bullet. Did the show prove me wrong? Was it someone else? Did no one die? […]

Five Thoughts On Constantine’s “Rage Of Caliban” [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Nov 29, 2014 | Reviews

Well, as some of you may have seen, this column just got a ticking clock in terms of longevity. As reported earlier in the week, NBC have officially stopped production on Constantine‘s first season meaning the initial 13 episode order will be all we get of season one. This doesn’t rule out a season two, […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 11/26/14

By Multiversity Staff | Nov 28, 2014 | 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 […]

Grissom and Halvorson Kick Off A Massive Adventure in “Planet Gigantic” #1 [Review]

By Michelle White | Nov 28, 2014 | Reviews

You guys remember “Deadhorse”, right? The comic I wouldn’t shut up about? Well, its writer and its colourist have come up with a separate series, this time with Action Lab. And while its premise is less wacky and more straight-up sci-fi, “Planet Gigantic” is still a fun read. Written by Eric Grissom Illustrated by David […]

Reading “WWE Superstars” #10 Is What Getting Piledrived Feels Like [Review]

By James Johnston | Nov 28, 2014 | Reviews

After nine issues of straight up ignoring it, we finally dig into the #1 comic in pro wrestling: “WWE Superstars”. To no one’s surprise, we were not prepared. Warning: this review will have tons of spoilers but they’re the type of spoilers where you’ll think I’m just making stuff up, read the comic, and find […]

The Grey Raven Rises In “C.O.WL.” #6 [Review]

By Jess Camacho | Nov 28, 2014 | Reviews

In a break from the main action, “C.O.W.L.” takes a step into the past and goes deep into the origin of the series most important character, Geoffrey Warner. The result is a fun, retro style comic book that adds a new layer to the entire series. Written by Kyle Higgins and Alec Siegel Illustrated Elsa […]

“Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes” #1 Is A Must Read For Fans Of The Film [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Nov 26, 2014 | Reviews

There’s a world out there in which the original title of Rise Of The Apes was used for the predecessor to this Planet Of The Apes reboot instead of shoe-horning in a franchise notifying extra three words and my life would be bliss… Written by Michael Moreci Illustrated by Dan McDaid WHY WE LOVE IT: […]

Bigots Don’t Stand a Chance Against Zombie Punk Rockers in the Brains-Filled “Toe Tag Riot” #1 [Review]

By Keith Dooley | Nov 26, 2014 | Reviews

Punk rock and zombies come together in harmony in the horrifically humorous and surprisingly endearing first issue of “Toe Tag Riot”. Writer Matt Miner and artist Sean Von Gorman proudly embrace the fact that the Westboro Baptist Church has called them “insincere pervs”. If what they’re peddling is perversion, then serve me up some more […]

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

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 26, 2014 | Reviews

1. Just when they started keeping villains around… Last week, I praised the show for not killing off its villain of the week (Girder), and then this episode not only kills this week’s villain (Blackout), but Girder as well. Now, granted, he served a really important purpose in the episode, as he both demonstrated Blackout’s […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Crossed” [Review]

By David Harper | Nov 24, 2014 | Reviews

Only one episode to go after this one, as The Walking Dead prepares for battle in this week’s episode, titled “Crossed”. Let’s jump into it, shall we? As per usual, don’t read this review unless you’ve seen the episode, as spoilers will be discussed at length. 1. Damn. You. Sasha. On one hand, I can’t […]

Five Thoughts On Constantine’s “Danse Vaudou” [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Nov 22, 2014 | Reviews

After the show’s foray last week into directly, for the most part, adapting stories from “Hellblazer”, it’s now time for Constantine to start bringing in faces that should be familiar to readers of DC Comics, starting with the once and future Spectre: Jim Corrigan. This episode is quite the mixed bag, especially after last week’s […]

Meaney and Zawadzki Bring On the Apocalypse in “Last Born” #3 [Review]

By Michelle White | Nov 21, 2014 | Reviews

I almost don’t know where to start with this headbender of a series from Black Mask. “Last Born” hinges on a big, apocalyptic premise – one that situates a group of people from different periods of history at the end of time. This penultimate issue takes them closer to a final showdown with the Viral […]

Ray Fawkes’ “Intersect” #1 Is One for the Mad Ones [Review]

By Sam LeBas | Nov 21, 2014 | Reviews

Jack Kerouac once wrote, “… the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding […]
