“Star Wars Legacy: The Hidden Temple” & “Vector”

By Jaina Hill | Jul 9, 2020 | Reviews

Among the many works that George Lucas took inspiration from are the films of Akira Kurosawa. And Star-Wars-ologists know that Lucas’ favorite Kurosawa flick was The Hidden Fortress, a movie full of shots that Lucas just lifted wholesale. It’s fitting then that ‘The Hidden Temple’ gets real old school, bringing our heroes together just in […]

“Adventureman” #2

By Alexander Jones | Jul 9, 2020 | Reviews

“Adventureman” #1 was an endearing, modern-day retelling of a woman taking the mantle of a pulp icon. Thanks to the quaint writing of Matt Fraction and the beautiful art of Terry Dodson, the title was able to craft a really pleasant tone about a woman who takes on the role of a superhero. Fraction shows […]

“Dragon Age: Knight Errant”

By Laura Merrill | Jul 8, 2020 | Reviews

Maker bless you, warriors, rogues, and mages, and welcome to our review of “Dragon Age: Knight Errant,” my favorite book so far in the Dragon Age comic series. It has everything I liked about the previous books: fun characters, exciting adventures, and a lively sense of movement throughout the artwork. Additionally, it has one thing […]

“Captain America: Man Out of Time”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Jul 8, 2020 | Reviews

Before the release of Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011, Marvel Comics published several Captain America miniseries and one-shots to pack the shelves with enough stories for any reader eager to get to know the character before heading to the theater, or those who wanted more from his world after seeing it. One of […]

“The Question” (1987) Annual #1: Fables Crossover

By Elias Rosner | Jul 7, 2020 | Reviews

We’re taking a small detour from our regularly scheduled issues of “The Question” this week to read two of Denny’s (sorta) other books at the time, “Detective Comics” and “Green Arrow,” in what can only be loosely called a crossover between the titles through their annuals. It’s a neat move but did it work as a story?

The Webcomics Weekly returns! And we continue the march toward the centennial anniversary. Which poses many interesting questions like do we go with a lithographic cover or a foil print?

Remembering Amalgam: “X-Patrol” #1

By Drew Bradley | Jul 6, 2020 | Reviews

The summer journey through the Amalgam Universe continues today with a review of “X-Patrol”. This is the first time I examine a combination with little-to-no knowledge of the original elements.

By Multiversity Staff | Jul 6, 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.

“All-American Comix” #1

By Matthew Blair | Jul 3, 2020 | Reviews

With a title like “All-America Comix”#1 it’s difficult not to conjure up some very specific imagery and some thoughts on what the book is about, especially with everything that’s going on in the world right now. The word “comix” evokes some very specific imagery of the raunchy, subversive, underground comic books that rose to prominence […]

“Star Wars Legacy: Indomitable” & “Loyalties”

By Jaina Hill | Jul 2, 2020 | Reviews

We start with a story that highlights the Galactic Alliance. Some people really don’t care for the politics of Star Wars, but I think that criticism is misguided. While the politics of the prequel movies were simultaneously cartoonish and tedious, they established a lot of helpful context that led to a lot of good stories. […]

“Star Trek: Year Five” #12

By Joe Skonce | Jul 2, 2020 | Reviews

In any Star Trek series, it’s always interesting to see how the captain and the crew influence one another. Obviously, this is limited by the characters we get to interact with or the period of history we’re following, but in most of the shows, it’s clear that the commander influences their crew. These dynamics are […]

“Big Black: Stand at Attica”

By Brian Salvatore | Jul 2, 2020 | Reviews

The word ‘Attica’ is a part of the American lexicon due to the events that are detailed in this book. However, between the time I first read this book (February) and now, the world has changed a bit, but the events of the book haven’t. They’re encased in amber as a reminder of a truly […]
