If all of the terms you learn in business school’s are to be believed, I am Warner Bros.

Reading and Deciphering the Madness Behind “The Wrenchies” with Farel Dalrymple [Interview/Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 12, 2014 | Interviews, Reviews

In fiction there’s a rich tradition of celebrating a medium of storytelling by creating a story about it. It’s something you can see across the board in most popular storytelling mediums, whether in film with things like Barton Fink or Singin’ in the Rain or in fiction with “If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller” […]

The Frequently Masterful “The Wake” and a Ten Issue Fight Against Format [Review]

By David Harper | Aug 11, 2014 | Reviews

Reviewing comics is an often thankless gig, and one that’s nature is frequently against what’s best for both the reviewer and the subject of said review. After all, when you’re in 2014 and there’s a 24 hour news cycle to contend with, a website’s readership expects reviews to hit within a day or two of […]

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 8, 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 […]

Somehow, Mark’s commitment issues manifest themselves as a superhero who is recruiting him to fill his position. […]

McGovern, Leandri and Regan Offer Stylish Horror in “Nightworld” #1 [Review]

By Michelle White | Aug 8, 2014 | Reviews

Are there any Roger Corman fans in the house? I hope so, because they’ll understand what I mean when I say “Nightworld” is like a dream sequence from a Poe picture: elaborate sets, blowing curtains, a fog machine – and let’s not forget the deep, saturated colours. The first issue of this Image miniseries is […]

Otto Octavius plays Peter Parker in “Superior Spider-Man” #32 – ‘Back to the Multiverse’ [Review]

By Zach Wilkerson | Aug 8, 2014 | Reviews

Fans the world over went into a collective fit of rage when Dan Slott had the gall — nay, the audacity to kill off Spider-Ock and replace him with puny Peter Parker. While the internet may never recover from the damage, the lead up to “Spider-Verse” attempts to right this travesty by deliver a secret […]

Friend, Foe, or Ex-Boyfriend? Looking at “Black Widow” #9 [Review]

By Cassandra Clarke | Aug 8, 2014 | Reviews

Left in inexperienced hands, crossovers fail. They overwhelm the reader with a feeling like they threw a party and everyone they knew actually showed up, but now they’re left wondering how the hell is this going to work? When it comes to crossovers Edmondson succeeds like a Victorian-era calling-card mastermind. His guests aren’t invites to please […]

“Madame Frankenstein” #4 Continues to be a Worthy Rendition of a Re-Imagined Classic [Review]

By Jess Camacho | Aug 7, 2014 | Reviews

If there’s anything I like more in a comic, it is a story driven by pure character development; no super powers that just happen to fix everything or a mystical force that just shows up and erases things. “Madame Frankenstein” has done the former rather than the latter in every issue so far. This month’s […]

Read our spoiler-free review below for more on why “Howtoons” is a must-buy […]

“I Know You”: Michael Cho’s “Shoplifter” and the Art of Finding Yourself [Review]

By David Harper | Aug 6, 2014 | Reviews

Michael Cho‘s debut graphic novel, “Shoplifter“, is a bit more relatable for me than it likely is for others. That’s not to say it’s not wholly relatable to large portions of its potential audience, though. It’s about twenty-something English literature student turned ad copy writer Corinna Park, a young woman who struggles with feelings that […]

By Looking to the Future And Embracing the Past, “Trillium” Excels [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 5, 2014 | Reviews

“Torniamo all’antico e sarà un progresso” Composer Giuseppe Verdi wrote the above line in a letter to a friend 111 years before I was born – essentially, it translates to “let us return to the past; that will be progress.” It is a quote that has stuck with me over the past decade or so […]

Tonight’s “Gravity Falls” Double Season Premiere Delivers More Mysteries, More Adorable Sweaters [Review]

By James Johnston | Aug 4, 2014 | Reviews

The Stars, Our Destination – Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 2, 2014 | Movies, Reviews

In terms of everything that Marvel has released as part of their Cinematic Universe, I think it’s fair to say that Guardians of the Galaxy is the most difficult to predict. A film starring characters that the general public wouldn’t have heard of even in passing, it’s pretty much the single biggest gamble Marvel has […]
