“The Fire Never Goes Out: A Memoir in Pictures”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Aug 5, 2020 | Reviews

This review was published before N.D. Stevenson changed his name and pronouns, and originally referred to him by his birth name and pronouns. “Nimona” creator and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power showrunner N.D. Stevenson’s “The Fire Never Goes Out” compiles the personal comic strips he created from 2011 to 2019, as well as his […]

“The Question” (1987) #25-28

By Elias Rosner | Aug 4, 2020 | Reviews

I wish DC made more series like these. Less sprawling, taking risks, allowed to have arcs of varying lengths and page counts at 28 without charging $5. A true dream.

“S.O.S – – Support Our Shops”

By Kate Kosturski | Aug 4, 2020 | Reviews

A love letter to comic shops at a time when many of them wonder if they will make it to the other side of COVID-19 hits the nostalgia button hard, but appears to have left some of the longtime fans out of the conversation. Written by Cullen Bunn, Aaron Douglas, Phil Hester, Jamie McKelvie, Jerry […]

The Webcomics Weekly #98: Chapter Two on the Road to the Prologue to the Opening Salvo to 100 (8/04/2020 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 4, 2020 | Reviews

The Webcomics Weekly is back in your life. This week it serves as your biweekly reminder of that razor thin line of comedy and respect “Order of the Stick” walk. “Trekker” has Mercy staring down some bad stats. “Agents of the Realm” concludes their seventh chapter. We check back in with “Clink” which shouldn’t be […]

Feature: "One Year at Ellsmere"

“One Year at Ellsmere”

By Mark Tweedale | Aug 4, 2020 | Reviews

Earlier this month, Faith Erin Hicks’s new book “One Year at Ellsmere” came out from First Second. But was it new? Back in 2008, SLG Publishing released “The War at Ellsmere,” also by Faith Erin Hicks. Isn’t this just the same book with a new title? In a broad sense, yes—“War” readers will find “One […]

“Spawn: The Dark Ages” #15-19

By Michael Mazzacane | Aug 4, 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: “Speed Demon”

By Drew Bradley | Aug 3, 2020 | Reviews

The summer journey through the Amalgam Universe continues today with a review of “Speed Demon”, one of the stranger Marvel/DC combos. The Mashup Here’s the process I believe was behind this Amalgam: “Hmm. Flash is popular. Obviously, we should mix him with Marvel’s speedster, Quicksilver. We can put them in the Judgment League Avengers or […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 07/29/2020

By Rowan Grover | Aug 3, 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 […]

“Wandering Son” Volume 10 – Friends Old and New

By Jodi Odgers | Aug 2, 2020 | Reviews

Volume 10 of “Wandering Son” was arguably the most Shuichi-centric volume thus far. While earlier volumes balanced Shuichi’s experience with those of other characters like Yoshino, Yuki, or Saori, chapters 74 to 82 shone the spotlight on Shuichi and how they navigate friendships that shift as everyone gets older. Of particular interest are the ways […]

“Star Wars: Doctor Aphra” #17-19

By Kate Kosturski | Aug 1, 2020 | Reviews

Aphra’s been pretty lucky so far in life. But while she’s seeing a little more luck in the relationship department, it comes at a price: her luck with getting the job done runs out. Written by Kieron Gillen and Si Spurrier Illustrated by Emilio Laiso Colored by Rachelle Rosenberg Lettered by VC’s Joe Caramanga Collects […]

“That Texas Blood” #2

By Kobi Bordoley | Jul 31, 2020 | Reviews

“The buzzards are hungry, and waste no time.” This line of dialogue, said by by a nameless officer, is more or less how “That Texas Blood” #2 begins. Joe Bob, the soft yet quintessential I’m-too-close-to-retirement-for-this-shit sheriff, responds to the other officers on scene with similar West Texas stoicism: “No, they do not.” He looks up […]

“Hedra” #1

By Matthew Blair | Jul 30, 2020 | Reviews

Are comic books a respectable form of art? Annoyingly, this is a question that comic book creators, readers, and fans have had to deal with for a very long time and the obstacles have been daunting over the years. In the beginning of what we know of as the comic book industry in the late […]

“Star Wars Legacy: Monster”

By Jaina Hill | Jul 30, 2020 | Reviews

One of the strengths of “Star Wars Legacy” is how far reaching the story is. A Star Wars movie never lets you sit in one place too long. You’ll spend a few minutes on an adventure before being whisked away to a bad guys meeting, and then check in with another hero on another planet. […]

“Star Wars: Darth Vader” #3

By Joe Skonce | Jul 30, 2020 | Reviews

While it didn’t necessarily translate well on the big screen, the tragic love of Padme and Anakin has been used to great effect in the cartoons and comics of the Star Wars universe. It makes sense, a forbidden love that is partially responsible for the rise of the empire is compelling stuff. Yet, Padme largely […]

“X-Men” #10

By Gustavo S Lodi | Jul 30, 2020 | Reviews

Part introspective character study, part tie-in to the latest Marvel event, “X-Men” #10 manages to walk than razor-thin line of being part of a massive crossover, while still being relevant to the ongoing narrative of the main plot line. Written by Jonathan Hickman Illustrated by Leinil Francis Yu Colored by Sunny Gho Lettered by VC’s […]

A Summation of the “Dragon Age” Comics So Far

By Laura Merrill | Jul 29, 2020 | Columns, Reviews

Maker bless you, warriors, rogues, and mages, and welcome to our summation of the Dragon Age comics (so far). What worked? What didn’t? Which one was the best? (Spoiler alert: it was “Knight Errant.” That was the best one). The success or lack thereof of all the books hinges largely on the agency of the […]

“The Question” (1987) Annual #2

By Elias Rosner | Jul 28, 2020 | Reviews

Annual time y’all! 51 pages of non-stop The Question goodness and by goodness, I mean morally greyed contemplation and the occasional beat-em-up scene. Oh, and the Green Arrow is here too. Because why not.
