Review: The Ravagers #1

By Brian Salvatore | Jun 1, 2012 | Reviews

Out of ‘The Culling’ comes “The Ravagers,” a third series in the Young Justice line dedicated to the Teen Titans in some capacity (along with “Teen Titans” and “Superboy”). The book features some familiar faces in new formats, a few new creations, and lots of weird, neon accented costumes. It also has a tone that […]

Animal Man Annual Cover

Review: Animal Man Annual #1

By Gilbert Short | Jun 1, 2012 | Reviews

It’s the history of The Red, The Green, and The Rot! It’s been a big story in both “Animal Man” and “Swamp Thing,” but now we get some context for their roles in the Red and Green, respectively; along with their relationship with the Rot and how they balance. Let’s see if it was worth […]

Review: Amazing Spider-Man Annual #39

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 1, 2012 | Reviews

Brian Reed is back to writing the Marvel Universe after far too long an absence! After spending a good deal of time with Marvel’s “Halo” books (which I’ll admit I don’t read as someone who doesn’t play Halo), I’m happy to editorialize a bit in my introduction here and say that I was thrilled to […]

Review: FF #18

By Walt Richardson | Jun 1, 2012 | Reviews

What, you thought Hickman was done a few issues ago? Not so — sure, his master plan for the Fantastic Four may have finally wrapped up a couple of months ago, but he is staying on the title until the end of “Avengers Versus X-Men,” telling a variety of one-and-done stories in both “Fantastic Four” […]

Review: Superman Family Adventures #1

By Chad Bowers | May 31, 2012 | Reviews

This week, the fan-favorite creators of “Tiny Titans”, Art Baltazar and Franco, kickoff a brand new all ages title focusing an entirely different group of superheroes. “Superman Family Adventures” #1 re-introduces (they first appeared in “Tiny Titans” #50) the entire “tiny” versions of Superman, Supergirl, Superboy, and Krypto in an escapade that’s as funny as […]

Review: Batman Annual #1

By Brian Salvatore | May 31, 2012 | Reviews

DC’s first wave of annuals are here, with critical favorites “Animal Man” and “Batman” being the first to get the extended treatment. This 38 page Mr. Freeze-centric story is not really a Batman story, for a couple of reasons, but regardless how it is labeled, is it worth your $4.99? Be warned, there are spoilers […]

Review: X-Men #29

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 31, 2012 | Reviews

Victor Gischler writes one final issue (before handing that baton to Brian Wood) of the adjectiveless “X-Men” book he started in 2010 with Paco Medina. From vampires to sentinels and assassins, the book has run the gambit with its stories and it all ends with a Skrull-tastic showdown. Written by Victor Gischler Illustrated by Will […]

American Vampire #27 Cover

Review: American Vampire #27

By Walt Richardson | May 31, 2012 | Reviews

In a last-minute substitution, Italian artist Riccardo Burchielli has replaced Roger Cruz to tell the story of Calvin Poole, the kind-of-but-not-really Shaft of the vampires. In fact, the only real similarity is that they are both black and bad mother-shut-your-mouths. Burchielli wowed Multiversity with his work on “DMZ,” but will he be able to do […]

Mignolaversity: B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth: The Transformation of J.H. O’Donnell [Review]

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | May 31, 2012 | Reviews

We’re back with another thrilling installment of Mignolaversity! This week, we get a one-shot that looks back on a time when Hellboy and Dr. O’Donnell went to get some books. Well, it is probably a BIT more complicated than that. Written by Mike Mignola and Scott Allie Illustrated by Max Fiumara Twenty-four years ago, Hellboy […]

Buffyversity: Angel and Faith #10

By Gilbert Short | May 30, 2012 | Reviews

Have you read “Angel and Faith” yet? You haven’t? Well, open it up immediately and after you do, come back and check out our commentary for the issue, which is filled with spoilers. It’s your twice-monthly installment of Buffyversity, y’all! Written by Christos Gage Illustrated by Chris Samnee Angel and Faith are forced into battle, […]

Five Thoughts on Game of Thrones’ “Blackwater”

By David Harper | May 28, 2012 | Reviews

Now that is how you do television people. Check out five thoughts on this week’s episode of Game of Thrones, titled “Blackwater,” below. 1. “Any man dies with a clean sword I’ll rape his fucking corpse.” – The Hound That is all. 2. The Hound dominates Okay, that isn’t true. That isn’t all. This episode […]

Review: Voodoo #9

By Brian Salvatore | May 25, 2012 | Reviews

When all the noise about DC hating women started really heating up, “Voodoo” was at the center of the conversation. When the first page of the first issue is a gratuitous boob shot, you know you’re in for rough feminist waters ahead. However, Ron Marz was quickly dispatched off the book, and Josh Williamson brought […]

Review: Youngblood #71

By Gilbert Short | May 25, 2012 | Reviews

The series that defined the 90’s is back! Infamous Rob Liefeld has revived his old property as part of the Extreme Studios Relaunch. Let’s see how this book aged. Written by Jon McLaughlin Illustrated by Jon Malin and Rob Liefeld It’s the 20th anniversary of the comic book that launched the Image Revolution in 1992! […]

Godzilla #1 Cover

Review: Godzilla #1

By Walt Richardson | May 25, 2012 | Reviews

What’s better than giant monster movies? You’ve got it — giant monster comics. While Image has been taking away the creator-owned reins from the older company, Dark Horse Comics has been having just as much of a problem with IDW Publishing, who has been giving Dark Horse a run for their money when it comes […]

Review: The Guild – Fawkes

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 25, 2012 | Reviews

Felicia Day’s popular webseries The Guild has seen numerous comic additions at this point (the trade of which you’ll find a quote from yours truly on), and it’s all been a rather fun and endearing way to put us into the individual lives of the characters more so than we’ve always generally been. This month, however, […]

Review: Justice League Dark #9

By Gilbert Short | May 24, 2012 | Reviews

Suddenly Jeff Lemire is one of the busiest guys in all of comics. Now scribing a fourth book, “Justice League Dark,” we get to see his take on the supernatural side of the DCnU. At least, the non-Animal Man and Frankenstein supernatural DCnU. Written by Jeff Lemire Illustrated by Mikel Janin New series writer JEFF […]

Review: Batman Incorporated #1

By Brian Salvatore | May 24, 2012 | Reviews

Grant Morrison is in a bit of a slump – but it’s not his fault. You see, Morrison is the type of guy who succeeds when he is the one steering the ship, no matter how big of a vessel he’s commanding. When given a small boat to control, like say, “Doom Patrol” in the […]

Review: Irredeemable #37

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 24, 2012 | Reviews

Multiversity has long stood by Mark Waid’s anti-superhero epic. In fact, it was one of the first books to ever be reviewed on this site to end up with a pull quote, back when this site was little more than a hobby with no ambition. It’s a book I personally loved when I first picked […]

Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison #1 Cover

Review: Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison #1

By Walt Richardson | May 24, 2012 | Reviews

Darth Vader, ghosts, and prisons? Now that’s how you sell a comic! The latest Star Wars miniseries from Dark Horse Comics has one of the more ridiculous titles that I have heard in a while, but you know what they say about what’s in a name, or judging a book by its cover. Written by […]

Mind MGMT #1 Cover

Advance Review: Mind MGMT #1

By Brian Salvatore | May 23, 2012 | Reviews

When we recently chatted with Matt Kindt on The Hour Cosmic, his enthusiasm for creating a monthly comic was palpable. He wanted to reward the single issue readers with bonus content, including hidden clues, a letters page, and extra stories that won’t be collected in the eventual trades. While this is fine and good, unless […]

Five Thoughts on Game of Thrones’ “The Prince of Winterfell”

By David Harper | May 21, 2012 | Reviews

Another week, more things to say about HBO’s Game of Thrones. Let’s get to them, this time about an episode titled “The Prince of Winterfell,” below. If you haven’t watched the episode yet, by god, do not read this review. 1. I can’t believe I’m going to say this… But this episode was sort of […]
