“He Who Fights With Monsters” #1

By Kobi Bordoley | Sep 24, 2021 | Reviews

“He Who Fights With Monsters” #1 drops us behind enemy lines to Prague mid WWII. What follows is a story replete with Jewish mysticism, a little ranting, a little raving, a lot of kvetching, and a historical fantasy tale that’s got our attention. The art weighs heavy and picks up the slack when the narrative […]

“Zero Hour”: A Crisis In Recapping, Part 5

By Rowan Grover | Sep 23, 2021 | Reviews

Folks, you’ve heard about it whispered in the corners of DC fandom. You’ve been confused at the odd reference to it in those “modern comics” you devour week after week. What in the darned heck is “Zero Hour”? Why is it called that? Why is it numbered backward? Who is Extant and should I really […]

“Black Hammer: Visions” #8

Death of Doctor Strange issue 1 featured

“The Death of Doctor Strange” #1

By Robbie Pleasant | Sep 23, 2021 | Reviews

Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, is dead. That’s not a spoiler, that’s literally in the title and the very plot of the comic. Rather, we have a new mystery: who did it, and why? Of course, since this is a comic, we can assume he’ll come back to life eventually, but how that will happen […]

“Star Wars: Darth Vader” #18-19

By Kate Kosturski | Sep 21, 2021 | Reviews

The war on Shu-Torun wraps up, but some of Vader’s chickens are starting to come home to roost. He’s going to get out of this battle just fine, but it’s going to be the return to Imperial management that may be the trickier minefield to manage. The same metaphor can also apply to scripting at […]

The Webcomics Weekly #155: Sadly, It’s Jeff is Not a Webcomic (9/21/2021 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Sep 21, 2021 | Reviews

The line between digital comic and webcomic is really porous and ultimately meaningless. Usually we say one is corporately published – DC digital firsts for example – or released all at once as a downloadable, purchasable file while the other is released piecemeal for free, most often by independent creators, even if it is behind […]

Ninjababy

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Sep 21, 2021 | Movies, Reviews

Based on Inga H. Sætre’s graphic novel “Fallteknikk (Fall Technique),” Ninjababy is a Norwegian comedy-drama that tells the hilarious and poignant story of Rakel Pedersen (Kristine Kujath Thorp), a graphic design school dropout who discovers she is six months pregnant. Too late to have an abortion, Rakel looks for someone who can adopt the sneaky […]

“Green Goblin” #12

By Chris Cole | Sep 20, 2021 | Reviews

Here we are, the penultimate issue of the series. After eleven chapters of “Green Goblin,” with all of their ups and downs, we start closing out DeFalco and McDaniel’s year-long experiment. Well, DeFalco gets to close it out at least. Josh Hood returns to handle art this issue. The whole story happens in the midst […]

“Beyond the Breach” #3

By John Schaidler | Sep 17, 2021 | Reviews

“Beyond the Breach” #3 is great artistically. The story falls a bit flat. (Warning: may contain minor spoilers.) Written by Ed Brisson Illustrated by Damian Couceiro Colored by Patricio Delpeche Lettered by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou It’s a showdown in Garberville! Vanessa’s new friend might just be an ultra-dimensional outlaw on the run, and now she’s caught […]

“Primordial” #1

By Matthew Blair | Sep 17, 2021 | Reviews

The Cold War was an interesting time for popular culture and storytelling. On one hand, it was an age that had new and exciting things happening all the time and comic book superheroes like the Flash and Green Lantern were getting groovy new sci fi reboots while a little known comic book company called Marvel […]

Feature: The House of Lost Horizons: A Sarah Jewell Mystery #5

Mignolaversity: “The House of Lost Horizons: A Sarah Jewell Mystery” #5

By Mark Tweedale | Sep 16, 2021 | Reviews

With so many mysteries introduced in the first four issues of “The House of Lost Horizons,” the final installment has a lot of ground to cover. Given that this is the final issue of a mystery series, I’m going to drop a major spoiler warning here because it is impossible to discuss this in any […]

“Asterix and the Roman Agent” and “Asterix in Switzerland”

By Matthew Blair | Sep 16, 2021 | Reviews

If you’re ever in the mood for more Franco Belgian comic books and don’t know where to start there’s always the other big title that gets a lot of attention: “The Adventures of TIntin”. It’s the same format as the Asterix books and has nearly as many titles. The difference is that Tintin is more […]

“Maw” #1

By Christopher Egan | Sep 16, 2021 | Reviews

A trip to a secluded women’s commune quickly takes a turn in the worst possible way. TW: While this review does not go into the details, this issue does deal with the subject of rape and rape survivors. Written by Jude Ellison S. Doyle Illustrated by A.L. Kaplan Colored by Fabiana & Federica Mascolo Lettered […]

Feature: Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: 1957—Family Ties

Mignolaversity: “Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: 1957—Family Ties”

By Mark Tweedale | Sep 15, 2021 | Reviews

“Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.” returns to the 1950s at last with ‘Family Ties’ from Mike Mignola, Chris Roberson, and Laurence Campbell. While I was already excited for this issue, Roberson and Campbell prove to work exceptionally well together. Let’s hope we see them collaborate again in the near future. Join us for our spoiler-free review […]

“Star Wars: Darth Vader” #16-17

By Kate Kosturski | Sep 14, 2021 | Reviews

We trade in lightsaber battles for battles of will and political power in the kickoff to the Shu-Torun War. But another battle is brewing within this series: the various story threads that are starting to knot together, but perhaps not enough, given our advance knowledge of less than ten issues of this series left. Written […]

By Multiversity Staff | Sep 14, 2021 | Reviews

The Webcomics Weekly is back in your life! This week, Batman comes to Webtoons as part of the first Webtoon produced content based on DC IP. A move that can only mean great things for the SEO reach of this hear column. Now excuse me as I try to figure out how to just write […]

“Green Goblin” #11

By Chris Cole | Sep 13, 2021 | Reviews

“Green Goblin” #11 isn’t the last issue. But it might as well be. Next issue will be the ‘Onslaught’ crossover. The following one is an epilogue. This puts today’s story in the unique position of having to end the series before the series actually ends. Any pieces that haven’t been moved into position need to […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 9/8/21

By Multiversity Staff | Sep 13, 2021 | 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 […]

“Copperhead” #17-19

By Jim Malakwen | Sep 12, 2021 | Reviews

Finally, after 15 weeks, we’ve come to the last instalment of our review of the “Copperhead” series. It’s been a mostly enjoyable ride albeit with a few weak entries in this otherwise solid comic. Fortunately, the creators have delivered some of their best work in these last issues. They’ve also provided answers to Clara’s backstory […]

Search for Hu issue 1 featured

“Search for Hu” #1

By Kobi Bordoley | Sep 10, 2021 | Reviews

“Search for Hu” #1 is a nifty action thriller wrapped up in gangster and historical fiction trappings. The story catapults forward from the very first pages, and what starts in a quiet town quickly escalates to an international, intergenerational bloodbath. While anchored by an intriguing plot hook, “Search for Hu” #1 has its road bumps. […]
