Artifacts: Origins “Witchblade” #1-8

By Michael Mazzacane | Jun 19, 2022 | Reviews

This is Artifacts where I will be exploring the Artifacts line of TopCow Productions. This first batch of readings will be dealing with the beginnings of the universe. Starting at the beginning means looking at “Witchblade”, the series that started it all. What would eventually be known as the Artifacts line began in November 1995. […]

“A-Next” #2

By Rowan Grover | Jun 18, 2022 | Reviews

The late nineties of superhero comics have always been such a fascinating wild west to me. I know so little about this period that is building off the industry’s most significant recession. With so few eyes drawn to it, it’s ripe for uncovering fascinating hidden gems or unreadable stinkers. This year I’ve dug up the […]

“Hulkling and Wiccan” #1

By Matthew Blair | Jun 17, 2022 | Reviews

I am not the biggest expert on the mythology of Marvel comics. Sure I know the big names like the X-Men, the Avengers, and Spider-Man, but when it comes to a lot of the lesser known stuff I’m pretty ignorant. The point is that a book like “Hulkling and Wiccan” #1 is new to me. […]

“Batman” #577-578

By Elias Rosner | Jun 17, 2022 | Reviews

Batman fights a bunch of sewer alligators before accomplishing his most ambitious feat yet: scoring a 3-pointer with a piece of litter into a trash can. Swish!

“A Calculated Man” #1

By Christopher Egan | Jun 17, 2022 | Reviews

Jack Beans was the numbers man for one of the biggest crime families around. He’s been in a witness protection program for a few years, but now his past is catching up to him.

“Squadron Supreme” #2

By Chris Cole | Jun 16, 2022 | Reviews

So… the first issue of Mark Guenwald and Bob Hall’s “Squadron Supreme” hooked me immediately in a way few first issues ever have. The comparisons to Watchmen instantly made sense, even if it was still very much 80s Marvel Comics. The phrase “ahead of its time” is one that gets thrown about so often that […]

“Do a Powerbomb” #1

By Alexander Jones | Jun 16, 2022 | Reviews

Writer and artist extraordinaire Daniel Warren Johnson is back for a brand new series at Image Comics called “Do a Powerbomb” #1. “Do a Powerbomb” #1 is all about a necromancer who brings back wrestlers from the dead to fight the ultimate wrestling match. Johnson is returning to write and draw the series. Johnson’s incredible […]

“Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman” #4-6

By Kate Kosturski | Jun 15, 2022 | Reviews

The pursuit of Morpheus’s objects of power continues, but unlike last week where it was fairly easy to retrieve his sand, Morpheus finds that others pursue his power for less amenable ends. Get ready for a journey through hell in all its forms. Written by Neil Gaiman Illustrated by Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg Colored […]

Chickenhare and the Hamster of Darkness

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Jun 14, 2022 | Movies, Reviews

Now available on Netflix, Chickenhare and the Hamster of Darkness is a CG animated film from Belgian animation studio nWave Pictures, based on the graphic novels of the same name by cartoonist Chris Grine. It follows Chickenhare, who (as you might have guessed) is a part-chicken, part-hare, who embarks on an adventure to stop his […]

“Who’s Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe” Vol. II

By Brian Salvatore | Jun 14, 2022 | Reviews

Welcome to our coverage of “Who’s Who!” For this summer, we’ll be focusing exclusively on the 26-issue 1985-1987 series, without any of the updates. Those will, hopefully, follow next year. Today, we dive into the second installment, which is full of five types of characters: Barons, Bigs, Bats, Black _____s, and Blackhawks. There are so […]

By Multiversity Staff | Jun 14, 2022 | Reviews

The Webcomics Weekly is back in your life. This week Elias goes house hunting with “The House of Lowther” a gothic story that’ll have you wishing Matthew McFadden was around to tell you how much you’ve bewitched him. Meanwhile those two love birds in “Lore Olympus” continue to go through the repeated inevitable trauma of […]

“Squire”

By Elias Rosner | Jun 14, 2022 | Reviews

The fantasy genre has been having a bit of a renaissance lately thanks to a slate of creators telling stories rooted in cultures and times other than Christian Medieval Europe. Out of this new crop in the comics sphere comes “Squire,” a tale of alienation, rebellion, empire and the consequences of the project that is war. If you want a straightforward recommendation, here it is: read this book. If you want more, and to know where it falls short, join me below.

Welcome back to our Summer Comics Binge of Naoko Takeuchi’s iconic girls’ manga “Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn,” or “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon” (lit. “Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon,” to which we say: huh).

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 6/8/22

By Multiversity Staff | Jun 13, 2022 | Reviews

There’s 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 great […]

“Orcs!: The Curse” #1

By Joe Skonce | Jun 10, 2022 | Reviews

To the casual fantasy fan, certain traits go along with fantasy races. Dwarves are stubborn. Elves are fair. Orcs are evil, and so on. But why do we think these things? Why do we think that dwarves are stubborn? It seems like elven propaganda to me! The more interesting question is how do these creatures […]

“Batman” #575-576

By Elias Rosner | Jun 10, 2022 | Reviews

While there’s no era of “Batman” that’s ever truly overlooked, the year 2000 for the Caped Crusader is not one modern comics readers tend to look back to. It’s an odd duck to say the least. Coming out of the sprawling, status quo breaking No Man’s Land, the main “Batman” title decided to take a […]

“Where Starships Go To Die” #1

By Kobi Bordoley | Jun 10, 2022 | Reviews

“Where Starships Go to Die” #1 definitely goes for glory in this story, pulling from climate apocalypse, deep space, deep sea, and alien invasion themes to put together a plotline that has the makings of an epic tale. While the story has its high points and is nothing if not ambitious, at times “Where Starships […]

“Squadron Supreme” #1

By Chris Cole | Jun 9, 2022 | Reviews

In 1968, Roy Thomas and Sal Buscema introduced The Squadron Sinister, pitting them against Earth’s mightiest heroes in their Avengers run (they pop up at the end of #69). Three years and sixteen issues later, Thomas and Sal’s older brother John introduce us to The Squadron Supreme, who were like the last guys, but significantly […]

“Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman” #1-3

By Kate Kosturski | Jun 8, 2022 | Reviews

It was one of the first few graphic novels to appear on the New York Times bestseller list. It’s been described as a “comic strip for intellectuals” and has had quite the influence over both graphic novels and fantasy novels since its debut a generation ago. And this summer, a long awaited television adaptation comes […]
