Review: Peter Panzerfaust #6

By Matthew Boren | Sep 20, 2012 | Reviews

This book’s rising star is incredible. Six issues in and people are already talking about making it a BBC series? That doesn’t happen to too many comic books, so you know something has been done right. Written by Kurtis J Wiebe Illustrated by Tyler Jenkins “PARIS,” Part One Paris cowers in the shadow of the […]

Review: Godzilla — Half Century War #2

By Michelle White | Sep 20, 2012 | Reviews

The first issue of James Stokoe’s “Godzilla: Half Century War” got a lot of love, and it’s not hard to see why. Stokoe’s detailed and immersive art — honed within the eye-searing pages of “Orc Stain” — could not fit this subject any better, and his fresh and concise writing brought unexpected energy into an […]

Review: Nightwing #0

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 20, 2012 | Reviews

We continue to weave through the impossibilities of the New 52 Batman timeline and end up getting what is actually a pretty nifty little retelling of Dick Grayson’s beginnings as Robin. Written by Kyle Higgins Illustrated by Eddy Barrows – It’s the origin of Dick Grayson in The New 52! – From orphan to super […]

Review: Ghost #0

By Walt Richardson | Sep 20, 2012 | Reviews

No, it’s not another DC reboot, it just happens to be coming out during their “Zero Month!” Hearing the same origin stories I’ve heard over and over again, just with minor derivations? No thanks. A comic about a character I’ve never tried out before, but been interested in, created by a stellar team? Now that’s […]

Review: The Shade #12

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 14, 2012 | Reviews

A year in the making, the finale of “The Shade” is here, in a lot of ways, the only logical place for it to end: at the beginning. And, since this issue, written by James Robinson and illustrated by Gene Ha, the same creative team on a prior Shade (aka Richard “Dickie” Swift) mini’s #1 […]

Five Thoughts on “Before Watchmen: The Comedian” #3 [Review]

By David Harper | Sep 14, 2012 | Reviews

Bitch to be me right now. Five thoughts, beginning after your friendly neighborhood solicit. Written by Brian Azzarello Illustrated by J.G. Jones “I am a blood brother.” Plus: The latest chapter in the CRIMSON CORSAIR backup adventure from writer and artist JOHN HIGGINS! 1. What’s the point? Let’s start us off here. Through three issues […]

Review: Demon Knights #0

By Matthew Boren | Sep 14, 2012 | Reviews

The Demon is one of those jetsetting DC characters. Etrigan pops up in Vertigo books, DC books and even unexpected places like the DCAU. There is a reason for this, and it might be because Etrigan/Jason Blood have been two of the most notable antiheroes DC comics has. Now with their own (sort of) book […]

Review: Punk Rock Jesus #3

By Michelle White | Sep 14, 2012 | Reviews

Buoyed by a wave of reorders, “Punk Rock Jesus” is all set to shock and enthrall a growing audience. This third issue exhibits even more energy and verve than the last two, and more than justifies the (somewhat belated) fan enthusiasm. Written and Illustrated by Sean Murphy As Chris grows up to be a teenager, […]

Review: Avengers vs. X-Men #11

By David Harper | Sep 14, 2012 | Reviews

Ugh. Ed. Note: This review contains spoilers, but probably spoilers you’ve already heard. If not, you’ve been warned. Written by Brian Bendis Illustrated by Olivier Coipel The biggest comics event of the summer hits it’s red hot penultimate chapter as Marvel is pleased to present your first look at Avengers VS. X-Men #11! From the […]

Review: Batman #0

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 14, 2012 | Reviews

If you’re reading this website, you know Batman’s origin. You’ve probably seen several different variations on it throughout the years. Some of these takes are of such quality that they can be considered definitive (see: Frank Miller’s Year One). Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo mercifully take the opportunity to show us something we haven’t seen […]

Review: Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 13, 2012 | Reviews

Last month, Mark Waid and Chris Samnee gave us a beautiful opening to their Rocketeer miniseries. And though they nailed the world of the principle characters, we only barely got a hint of the titular cargo. Thankfully, they definitely brought the promised “doom” this time around. Written by Mark Waid Illustrated by Chris Samnee The […]

Review: Memoir #6

By Michelle White | Sep 13, 2012 | Reviews

Having been released over the course of almost two years, this six-issue mini from Image Comics has finally reached its end. Putting forth some big reveals but leaving some questions up in the air (and there are rumours of another series from this team), does the final issue of “Memoir” round off the first five […]

Review: Conan the Barbarian # 8

By Matthew Boren | Sep 13, 2012 | Reviews

This book has been garnering a ton of praise, and not all of it from contributors for this website. Yes many of us are unabashed Brian Wood fans, but that is because he writes fantastic comics. With preferred partner-in-crime Becky Cloonan by his side, “Conan the Barbarian” has been an epic saga so far. There […]

Review: Doctor Strange Season One

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 13, 2012 | Reviews

Full disclosure: I have a soft spot for Doctor Strange. I am a huge fan of Emma Rios’ art. I am almost guaranteed to be biased and enjoy this book. I’m going to remain 100% objective, though. Promise. Written by Greg Pak Illustrated by Emma Rios A window-crashing, high-flying, globe-traveling, ghost-battling adventure from the earliest […]

Review: Stumptown Vol. 2 #1

By Walt Richardson | Sep 13, 2012 | Reviews

It has been approximately two years since the last issue of the first “Stumptown” miniseries, ‘The Case of the Girl Who Took Her Shampoo but Left Her Mini.’ This week, the intrepid detective Dex begins her next case, ‘The Case of the Baby in the Velvet Case.’ Don’t let the title deceive you, though; this […]

Review: Doctor Who “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship”

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 10, 2012 | Reviews

So, “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship.” With a name like that and the ever-disappointing memory of Snakes on a Plane (OK, it wasn’t that bad, but it certainly wasn’t good), it’s probably best to set expectations pretty low on the second episode of this new season, right? Wrong. Absolutely wrong. You wouldn’t expect it, but it […]

Review: Hawkeye #2

By David Harper | Sep 7, 2012 | Reviews

Marvel’s biggest archery enthusiast has his own book with an elite creative team. Does it continue to fly straight after a strong start? Let’s take a look. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by Dave Aja What you need to know: Fraction. Aja. Hawkeye. Kate Bishop. Cars. Guns. * Stealing from the rich never looked so […]

The best part of the trip…is the […]

Review: Phantom Stranger #0

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 7, 2012 | Reviews

Dan DiDio’s first written series of the New 52 was a surprising amount of fun, and was admittedly one of the more interesting books to follow along with up to it’s cancellation. Apparently DiDio caught the writing bug, and now he’s helming a new book — but this one is “important” to “continuity!” Oh my! […]

Review: Stormwatch # 0

By Matthew Boren | Sep 7, 2012 | Reviews

In its many iterations, “Stormwatch” has been around since most of us here at Multiversity were young’uns. The book has seen several different lives, starting as a pretty generic teambook in the early ninties, to rocking people’s faces off under the pen of Warren Ellis, then transforming into “The Authority.” A few more iterations occured, […]

Review: Fashion Beast #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 7, 2012 | Reviews

Though Alan Moore’s name is the largest on the cover, this is actually an Antony Johnston comic adaptation of a movie script Moore wrote back in the 1980’s. Much has been made of the fact that Moore wrote this around the same time he was writing his seminal work, “Watchmen.” If the first issue is […]
