Review: The Occultist #1

By Michelle White | Oct 4, 2013 | Reviews

Okay, comic hipster moment: I liked “The Occultist” back when it was a three-issue miniseries. Significantly less hipstery moment: it’s probably about as good now, kicking off a brand new five-issue series, as it was then. Is calling things “hipster” even relevant any more? I don’t know. Let’s talk about “The Occultist.” Written by Tim […]

Review: Savage Wolverine #9

Review: Grindhouse – Doors Open at Midnight #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Oct 4, 2013 | Reviews

The title of Alex de Campi’s latest project says it all – this is a Grindhouse story, meant to be trashy and openly reveling in violent horror and cheesecake. It’s pretty simple: if you like it B-movie sleazy every once in a while, then this is a book to try on for size. Written by […]

Review: Earth 2 #16

Review: Marvel Knights Spider-Man #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Oct 3, 2013 | Reviews

The mission statement of the ‘Marvel Knights’ line is difficult to define. Were they “more mature” comics? Were they in current continuity or not? Did it matter? The line itself hasn’t really been seen since 2010 and its impact has been difficult to measure in the ever-shifting focus of the continuity of mainstream comics. If […]

Pick of the Week: Lazarus #4

By Sam LeBas | Oct 3, 2013 | Reviews

My father is a butcher. I remember one cold morning, someone brought a whitetail buck that they’d killed to him so that the animal could be cut up. I watched as they strung it up from a tree on the top of hill near the old barn on our property. The knife carved the animal […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 9/27/13

By Multiversity Staff | Sep 27, 2013 | 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: Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard Vol. 2 #3

By Sam LeBas | Sep 27, 2013 | Reviews

The fables offered on the pages of “Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard” Volume 2 #3 remind us of the purpose of stories.

Review: Revival #14

By Alice W. Castle | Sep 27, 2013 | Reviews

For a while now, “Revival” has been the little comic that could. While it may not be garnering major praise like some other comics coming out of Image, it has quietly been telling a continuously solid story that has mixed horror with some genuinely poignant, human moments. Here, Tim Seeley and Mike Norton begin to […]

Review: Powerpuff Girls #1

Review: The Wake #4

By Michelle White | Sep 27, 2013 | Reviews

The last time we checked in with “The Wake”, the proceedings were intriguing but mystifying. Dr. Archer was on board a top secret underwater ghost rig, researching a mysterious fishman with a screeching call and a tendency toward making everyone hallucinate. Since then, we’ve gotten a bit more exposition, with the most important reveal being […]

Review: Superman #23.4 – Parasite

By Zach Wilkerson | Sep 27, 2013 | Reviews

In “Superman #23.4,” it’s Aaron Kuder’s first time in the writer’s seat. Does his dynamic, expressive artistic style carry over, or is he dragged down into September’s villainous muck? Written and Illustrated by Aaron Kuder Parasite: Noun. An organism that lives in or on another organism. Preferably Superman. One good thing DC has going for […]
