“The Plot” #5

By Christa Harader | Jul 2, 2020 | Reviews

“The Plot” is back with its fifth issue and takes us on a road trip to the past, where a sacrifice is made for a bounty wholly undeserved. Seems the family’s been paying the price ever since.

The Goddamned Volume 2 Featured

“The Goddamned: Virgin Brides” #1

By Kobi Bordoley | Jul 2, 2020 | Reviews

Note: spoilers and amateur biblical exegesis lie ahead When we last wandered the world of ”The Goddamned” in 2015, the rules of the game were simple. Fight monsters in the morning, huddle beneath your acrid shawl at night, and kill or be killed — regardless of the time of day. If we were to make […]

“Dragon Age: Magekiller”

By Laura Merrill | Jul 1, 2020 | Reviews

Maker bless you, warriors, rogues, and mages, and welcome to our review of “Dragon Age: Magekiller,” a book that is almost very interesting. The characters are almost compelling. The action is almost exciting. The one thing holding “Magekiller” back from being very good is that the protagonists don’t drive the story forward; the story happens […]

“The Question” (1987) #13-16

By Elias Rosner | Jun 30, 2020 | Reviews

Y’all, I wanted to talk about O’Neil taking on toxic masculinity and the obsession with “honor” in the army, the way our our government failed the soldiers who were forced to fight in the Vietnam War, the way our society failed, and still fails, to take PTSD seriously or to have services to actually help with mental health, and how patriotism is weaponized but then “The Question” #15 overshadowed all the rest. What could’ve done that?

The Webcomics Weekly #93: A Fighter By Their Trade (6/30/2020 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Jun 30, 2020 | Reviews

It's been a long week, a long month, a long year. It's been a long forever and we must press ever onwards, keeping an eye on what can be fixed and what must be replaced. We can do it, but it will not be easy and it will not be done without toiling hard. And now that my soap box is starting to crack, let's get on with the comics. This week, we have newcomers "The Boxer" and a familiar looking "Detatched" along with our returners "A Better Place" and "Trekker."

Remembering Amalgam: “Amazon” #1

By Drew Bradley | Jun 29, 2020 | Reviews

The next pit stop on the Summer trip through the Amalgam titles is “Amazon”, the first real dud I’ve come across.

“November Vol. 2: The Gun in the Puddle”

By Paul Lai | Jun 26, 2020 | Reviews

Do you feel that isolation? That lingering, spiraling alienation when, after enduring global and personal calamities, the world still keeps proving that it’s conspiring against you rather than lifting you up to fly? The timing of the second volume of “November,” subtitled “The Gun in the Puddle,” is eerily matched to our unique moment. As […]

“The Question” (1987) #9-12

By Elias Rosner | Jun 23, 2020 | Reviews

I feel spoiled by having a creative team on a superhero book remain consistent throughout the entirety of its first year. It’s a rarity now that a team doesn’t change inker, colorist, letterer or, hell, even the penciler or writer, by the end of the first arc but to have every position consistent on all twelve issues? Pinch me, I must be dreaming.
