Review: Apocalypse Al #1

By Michelle White | Feb 6, 2014 | Reviews

First in a four-part miniseries from Image, this issue introduces us to Al Carter – private eye and defender against Armageddon. It’s an unusual mash-up of genres, and not entirely successful, but there are elements to love in this apocalyptic tale. Written by J. Michael Straczynski Illustrated by Sid Kotian Alison Carter is a private […]

Review: Forever Evil #5

By Zach Wilkerson | Feb 6, 2014 | Reviews

Pick of the Week: Ms. Marvel #1

By Alice W. Castle | Feb 6, 2014 | Reviews

The reactions to just the announcement of this series have been so polarising that this has to already be one of the most talking about comics of 2014 and we’re only in February. But now that the dust has settled and we’ve all come to terms with Marvel’s first American-Muslim superhero leading her own ongoing […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Heir to the Demon” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 6, 2014 | Reviews

1. The Fights are Awesome One thing that Arrow really has over Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or, really, over many non-premium cable shows, is the fight sequences. The fights tonight, especially when Arrow and Canary are fighting together, was practically ripped from my comics collection, and it was awesome. The action fits the medium well, as […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “T.R.A.C.K.S.” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Feb 5, 2014 | Reviews

After a quick break upon its return to television, Agents of SHIELD is back despite most of us probably forgetting it was on last night and forgetting to set our DVRs. And with it comes one of the four most hyped episodes of the series (including but not limited to the Thor tie-in, the Coulson […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for The Week of 1/29/14

By Multiversity Staff | Jan 31, 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 […]

Review: Furious #1

By Michelle White | Jan 31, 2014 | Reviews

“Furious” is a superhero story with a twist! Only I’m pretty sure that tagline doesn’t work on anybody any more. Er, “Furious” is a complicated superhero-centred story that has some believable angst and pain to it. That sounds less snappy, but there really is a messy, celebrity-trainwreck appeal to this story – and it works […]

Yeah. This is “Theremin” #4. Written by Curt Pires Illustrated by Dalton Rose Eventually every creation myth becomes a resurrection […]

Review: Revolutionary War: Knights of Pendragon #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Jan 31, 2014 | Reviews

‘Revolutionary War’ has been an event for fans of a very specific corner of Marvel Comics. That went without saying before the event started, and it doesn’t look like it will change anyone’s minds in the telling of the new tale. Written by Rob Williams Illustrated by Will Sliney Colors by Veronica Gandini Lettered by […]

Review: Thor: God of Thunder #18

By James Johnston | Jan 31, 2014 | Reviews

After a less than stellar arc with Malekith, “Thor: God of Thunder” returns to form with a morning-after tale that makes that one “Hangover” mission from Skyrim look like child’s play.

Review: Black Science #3

By Michelle White | Jan 30, 2014 | Reviews

Review: The Saviors #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Jan 30, 2014 | Reviews

“The Saviors” is a high-quality, slyly modern take on some sci-fi B-movie concepts. Come for the fun of the chase – stay for the superlative J. Bone cartooning, which is classically good in every way. Written by James Robinson Illustrated by J. Bone Tomas’s safe, uneventful life is no more. He knows aliens walk among […]

Review: Invincible #108

By James Johnston | Jan 30, 2014 | Reviews

“Invincible” #108 is a huge shake up to the Invincible Universe and an example of how not every comic needs to be a relaunched #1 to be a good jumping-on point. Written by Robert Kirkman Illustrated by Ryan Otley Angstrom Levy’s life hangs in the balance. Invincible to the rescue? If you’ve been keeping tabs […]
