“Spawn: The Dark Ages” #25-28

By Michael Mazzacane | Aug 18, 2020 | Reviews

It is 901 AD. The Dark Ages. The darkest of times. Centuries after the Romans retreated and faded, yet many centuries before reason and order would take hold. The Dark Ages were times marked by sweat and blood and lives cut short by famine and disease. Desperate days. These were the times the lands known […]

Remembering Amalgam: “Assassins” #1

By Drew Bradley | Aug 17, 2020 | Reviews

The summer journey through the Amalgam Universe continues today with a review of “Assassins”. This issue tried to take advantage of the Bad Girl trend, but it ended up being a nonsensical mess. The Mashup In a twist on the normal process, the lead characters are intracompany combinations. Daredevil and Elektra are smooshed together to […]

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 17, 2020 | 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 […]

By Jodi Odgers | Aug 16, 2020 | Reviews

Every society puts pressures on its subjects to conform to certain norms, with these expectations varying wildly depending on a host of factors. These include your age, socio-economic status, sex, and many more. In Volume 13 of “Wandering Son”, we see the impact of society on a number of characters, both old and new. Whether […]

“Star Wars: Doctor Aphra” #23-25

By Kate Kosturski | Aug 15, 2020 | Reviews

Aphra tries to stay one step ahead of the Imperials. And the rebellion. And her current and former flames. But she can’t stay one step ahead of a very dark shadow that still lingers over her life.

Detective Comics 934 Cropped

“Detective Comics: Rise of the Batmen”

By Joe Skonce | Aug 13, 2020 | Reviews

Most of my experience with the Dark Knight and his various allies and villains are not from the pages of the comics but different films and the small screen. There’s something about Gotham that is daunting. There have been years of stories, retcons, and multiple titles running at the same time, it’s enough to make […]

“Seven Secrets” #1

By Matthew Blair | Aug 13, 2020 | Reviews

Should a story be about big ideas and large groups of people or should a story be smaller and more personal? There’s no definitive answer to that question, but it’s important for writers to figure out what they’re trying to say when creating a story. Unfortunately, it’s also necessary to strike some sort of balance […]

“The Manhattan Projects” Volume 1

By Luke Cornelius | Aug 12, 2020 | Reviews

Welcome to our Summer Comics Binge of “The Manhattan Projects” by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra. I’ve read work by both creators before, namely Hickman’s X title relaunch and half of “East of West” (that’s on hold until I finish “The Manhattan Projects”), and Pitarra’s short-lived “Leviathan.” I’ll be reviewing a volume of the series […]

“The Cloven: Book One”

By Justin McGuire | Aug 11, 2020 | Reviews

Cloven is a book of genetically engineered satyrs set loose on the world. And it begins with a lie: the first two pages tell the sad story of the conception and birth of Tuck, a goat-boy. None of it is true. But it’s a confusion that sets up the story nicely. This is the first […]

“The Question” (1987) #29-32

By Elias Rosner | Aug 11, 2020 | Reviews

Two one-shots follow the final two issues of “Myra wakes up from her coma to find the city is totally in shambles and she’s gotta do something about it with a ridiculous idea” arc. We’re in the home stretch now and there’s no sign of things slowing down.

Remembering Amalgam: “Magneto and the Magnetic Men”

By Drew Bradley | Aug 10, 2020 | Reviews

The summer journey through the Amalgam Universe continues today with a review of “Magneto and the Magnetic Men”. The Mashup The Metal Men & The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. I’m aware of both groups, but not familiar with either of them. That makes it really hard for me to identify who’s being amalgamated. Costume designs […]

“Wandering Son” Volumes 11 and 12 – Time Passes

By Jodi Odgers | Aug 9, 2020 | Reviews

The passage of time is something that we all have to reckon with, and can be tricky to deal with in fiction. Some creators choose to have their characters age more slowly, or not at all. In “Wandering Son”, Takako Shimura chooses to follow Shuichi, Yoshino, and all the rest through a tumultuous period in […]

“Jim Henson’s The Storyteller: Ghosts” #4

By Robbie Pleasant | Aug 7, 2020 | Reviews

Jim Henson’s The Storyteller was a classic show where the titular storyteller (played by the late, great John Hurt) shared old folktales and stories with his talking dog companion. So naturally, it can be adapted into a comic nicely. “The Storyteller” comics have used a variety of writers and artists to bring old stories to […]

“Bleed Them Dry” #2

By John Schaidler | Aug 7, 2020 | Reviews

With great art and plenty of action, “Bleed Them Dry” #2 starts strong, but can’t quite maintain the pace once the worldbuilding starts. (Warning: may contain minor spoilers.)

Here we are denizens and sentients of the galaxy. At the end of our journey into “Star Wars Legacy…” except not really! We’ll get into it, but the false finale of this series had all the weight of a real one, only we get the real thing right after! I’m riding pretty high on that […]
