Review: Infinite Vacation #5

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 10, 2013 | Reviews

It has been a long time since “Infinite Vacation” #4 came out. Nearly a full year, actually. And yet, one of the great things about the book is that it was so sharp that its story never left us ; picking up “Infinite Vacation” #5 felt as natural as if it had come out when […]

Review: The Hollows #2

By Michelle White | Jan 10, 2013 | Reviews

In theory, I don’t like to review both the first and second issues of a series. Why do both, right? But when a first issue is as amazing as “The Hollows” #1 was, some kind of follow-up feels necessary — to see if the magic is still happening, and attempt to smoke out its source. […]

Review: Detective Comics #16

By Vince Ostrowski | Jan 10, 2013 | Reviews

As a writer who is crafting a modern masterpiece with “Chew”, John Layman was prime for a big time gig. His takeover of Detective Comics was an immediate upgrade, but a few months in and right in the middle of the “Death of the Family” crossover, how is his run holding up? Written by John […]

Review: Superior Spider-Man #1

By Zach Wilkerson | Jan 10, 2013 | Reviews

It’s nearly impossible to discuss this issue without spoiling the events of “Amazing Spider-Man” #700. Though, if you aren’t aware of them by now you are either incredibly strong willed or live in a cave, and therefore probably won’t read this review in the first place. Just in case, if you have not read and […]

Review: Sweet Tooth #40

By Walt Richardson | Jan 10, 2013 | Reviews

The number of Vertigo ongoings continues to steadily dwindle as Jeff Lemire’s beloved ongoing reaches its conclusion. After the sudden climax of the previous issue, how does Lemire bring his tale to close? Written and Illustrated by Jeff Lemire Gus’s journey comes to an end and the fate of the hybrids is revealed in the […]

Mignolaversity: B.P.R.D. #103 [Review]

By David Harper | Jan 9, 2013 | Reviews

Man it’s weird to not write all of that jazz after B.P.R.D. any more, now that it’s an ongoing series. Either way, this is the first part of Hell on Earth: Abyss of Time, and it brings the return of Scott Allie as a co-writer and James Harren as artist. That’s enough of that though […]

Review: Star Wars #1

By Walt Richardson | Jan 9, 2013 | Reviews

Before I was a comic reader, I was a Star Wars fan. As such, the idea of a new comic that adheres solely to the continuity present in the first movie has a lot going for it — particularly high expectations, especially when Brian Wood is involved. How does it fare when pitted against my […]

Dig Your Hooks Into Peter Panzerfaust #8 [Advance Review]

By Michelle White | Jan 8, 2013 | Reviews

Hook puns? Hook puns! But yes, the pointy guy does make his debut in this issue as things get even more grim in the world of “Peter Panzerfaust”. We’re midway through the third arc of the series, but it’s actually a decent place to jump on as Peter and the Lost Boys transition from one […]

Review: The Flash #15

By Vince Ostrowski | Jan 4, 2013 | Reviews

Rivaled only by the work that J.H. Williams III is doing on “Batwoman”, Francis Manapul has used “The Flash” to show off his pure inventiveness in panel manipulation for over 2 years now. However, the fact that he is so well-suited to draw a character who can perceive the world differently from anyone else is […]

Review: Punk Rock Jesus #6

By Michelle White | Jan 4, 2013 | Reviews

There’s been a lot of love here at Multiversity for Sean Murphy’s “Punk Rock Jesus” — it even topped our “Best Mini-Series” list for 2012, despite having one more issue to go. But did PRJ come to the spectacular and satisfying finish that we all hoped for? Written and Illustrated by Sean Murphy In this […]

Review: Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 4, 2013 | Reviews

Adventure Time genderswapped! One of the most popular episodes of Adventure Time makes its way into the comic world under the pen of the creator of the concept, Natasha Allegri. Lets see how she did. Written and Illustrated by Natasha Allegri Join Cake the Cat and Fionna the Human in this totally algebraic new adventure, […]

Review: Justice League Dark #15

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 4, 2013 | Reviews

You have to hand it to “Justice League Dark” co-writers Jeff Lemire and Ray Fawkes – they are certainly blazing a trail in comics that most of their fans would never have seen coming. Both men got his their with personal graphic novels before moving over to DC to, primarily, write superhero stories. I doubt […]

Review: Batman Incorporated #6

By Zach Wilkerson | Jan 4, 2013 | Reviews

This truly is a special book. Acting as a last remnant of the pre-New 52 DC universe, featuring characters that are steeped in continuity and history, it feels wholly unlike its sister bat-books or any DC book in general. It’s a testament to Morrison as writer that this book continues to exist. It’s mind-boggling how […]

Review: American Vampire #34

By Walt Richardson | Jan 4, 2013 | Reviews

“American Vampire” co-creator Scott Snyder has been very busy as DC’s newest golden boy, and the team has wisely decided to put the book on hold for the moment. This week marks the final issue for the time being — but does it go out with a… fang? I know, I said I’d stop with […]

Review: Ultimate Spider-Man #19

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 3, 2013 | Reviews

Welcome back, Sara Pichelli! Oh, how we have missed you on this book. Ignore any other insightful commentary I may make, because that’s all you really need to know. Spoiler: if you like Miles and you like Sara’s artwork, come on over to the Venom Show, folks. Written by Brian Michael Bendis Illustrated by Sara […]

Review: Harvest #5

By Michelle White | Jan 3, 2013 | Reviews

The last issue of Lieberman and Lorimer’s icy miniseries about the illicit organ trade is full of surprises — but they’re not all the good kind of surprises. A mixed bag of an issue, this isn’t the best way to cap things off, but the virtues that have made “Harvest” such a great read so […]

Review: Morbius – The Living Vampire #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Jan 3, 2013 | Reviews

A “Morbius, the Living Vampire” ongoing seems like an odd choice and a longshot for big sales, even with recent pop culture gone vampire-crazy. But Joe Keatinge is breaking into the world of mainstream comics one way or another and this issue might be proof enough that the man can get a lot out of […]

Review: New Avengers #1

By Walt Richardson | Jan 3, 2013 | Reviews

Hey, have I mentioned yet that I sort of predicted this series a year and change ago? Sure, I pitched it, if you can call it that, with J. H. Williams III, but the excellent Steve Epting was totally my second choice. Trust me! Written by Jonathan Hickman Illustrated by Steve Epting To prevent the […]

Mignolaverisity: Hellboy in Hell #2 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 2, 2013 | Reviews

Like a wheel without an axle, I am here without my compatriot David, who is traveling to the wilds of Texas for a post-Christmas vacation. But I am getting by, mainly because I have the comfort of an issue of “Hellboy in Hell” to keep me company on this cold winter’s morn. Below is a […]

Review: Amazing Spider-Man #700

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 28, 2012 | Reviews

This is it. The big moment you’ve all been waiting for. How does it all play out? As a note, spoilers are discussed as it is kind of impossible not to for something of this nature, but it’s no more than you couldn’t infer from just knowing what the arc is about in general. Written […]

Review: Mara #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Dec 27, 2012 | Reviews

What is Brian Wood, like a comics writing machine? He’s like some kind of ubiquitous comic rack-filling ninja, seemingly putting stuff out or announcing another project every week. And they’re usually pretty good. With revelatory work from Ming Doyle, “Mara” isn’t looking to be the exception either. Written by Brian Wood Illustrated by Ming Doyle […]
