The Webcomics Weekly #92: A Webcomic Called “The Little Trashmaid”(6/23/2020 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Jun 23, 2020 | Reviews

Our march to the centineal of Webcomics Weekly continues and this week we have a comic called *checks notes* “The Little Trashmaid.” They just want to be part of our world. We also have continuing coverage of “Agents of the Realm,” “Chickenface,” “The Otherknown,” and “Trekker.” It is an eclectic group of strips this week […]

“Bog Bodies”

By Elias Rosner | Jun 23, 2020 | Reviews

The bogs of Ireland are deceptive. On the surface, they’re serene and solid, no different from the land around it, but one false move and that land gives out and all you’re left with is a horrible sinking feeling. One wrong step, that’s all it takes for your whole life to come crashing down around you. A single error and all that was once safe is hostile, with little chance of recovery.

Remembering Amalgam: “Bullets & Bracelets” #1

By Drew Bradley | Jun 22, 2020 | Reviews

Continuing the summer trip through the Amalgam titles, we get to one of the least obvious pairings, “Bullets & Bracelets”, where the Punisher married Wonder Woman. The Mash Up The Punisher’s civilian name is Trevor Castle, a combination of Frank Castle and Steve Trevor, and that’s really the only difference from the regular Marvel version. […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 06/17/20

By Multiversity Staff | Jun 22, 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 2 – With A Little Help From Their Friends

By Jodi Odgers | Jun 21, 2020 | Reviews

In Volume One of “Wandering Son”, we were introduced to the core cast of characters, namely Shuichi, Yoshino, Saori, and the friends and family that surround them. Volume Two expands this, notably adding the delightful Yuki and finally naming . This volume focuses on exploring the ever-shifting relationships between characters, how the new additions affect […]

“Star Wars: Doctor Aphra” #4-6

By Kate Kosturski | Jun 20, 2020 | Reviews

It’s the eve of Father’s Day weekend here in the U.S., so it’s rather appropriate that this week’s look at the back half of “Doctor Aphra” focuses intensely on that father-daughter relationship, along with the pain of a dream shattered. Please note that this will contain spoilers. Written by Kieron Gillen Illustrated by Kev Walker, Marc […]

“Ludocrats” #2

By Rowan Grover | Jun 19, 2020 | Reviews

Kieron Gillen has been doing a lot of big-time serious work lately. “The Wicked + The Divine” and his latest ongoing, “Die”, are all well-conceived worlds and stories, but can feel particularly heavy even at the best of times. So, having a book like “Ludocrats” makes sense for Gillen. The first issue, accompanied by Jim […]

“White Ash” #4

By Christa Harader | Jun 19, 2020 | Reviews

Aleck’s been plunged head – or is it neck? – first into a world of dwarves, elves, monsters and intrigue. He seems to be handling it pretty well, for a half-dwarven, moody college kid. Warning: spoilers ahead. Written by Charlie Stickney Illustrated & lettered by Connor Hughes Colored by Fin Cramb A tragic death leaves […]

“A Man Among Ye” #1

By Christopher Egan | Jun 19, 2020 | Reviews

The year is 1720. Pirates are raiding the Caribbean with fleets of Royal Marines on their tail. Is the era of pirating coming to an end? For one ship, with more than one pirate of legend aboard, things are still going strong — but for how long? Some Spoilers Aboard! Written by Stephanie Phillips Illustrated […]

“Star Wars Legacy: Shards”

By Jaina Hill | Jun 18, 2020 | Reviews

You may have noticed that last week, we skipped issue #4 of “Star Wars: Legacy.” This was no accident. There are a lot of characters in this series, so I didn’t want to cover the interlude story, ‘Noob,’ until we had sorted out the basics. This one-shot is part of a proud Star Wars tradition […]

“The Crow: Lethe” #2

By Matthew Blair | Jun 18, 2020 | Reviews

The Crow was a pretty famous underground comic written by James O’Barr and was published in the late 1980’s and became popular in the early 90’s. It was a dark, brooding, and haunting tale of Gothic love and horror that dealt with deeply personal loss and vengeance. You might remember the more famous 1994 movie […]

“Family Tree” #6

By Kobi Bordoley | Jun 18, 2020 | Reviews

When we first reviewed “Family Tree” late last year, we lauded it highly. The story had all the marks of top shelf Lemire: its ability to say a lot with a little, its focus on a rural family in distress, and its singular, total cohesion. As the story continued, things only got better. In the […]

“Dark Nights: Death Metal” #1

By Joe Skonce | Jun 18, 2020 | Reviews

Metal and superhero comics seem like a natural fit. Both exist in heightened worlds of bombastic energy and forward momentum. Both embrace a variety of tones, ranging from dark and moody to swashbuckling and fun, and in many cases, both tell epic stories of struggles and triumph. In “Dark Nights: Death Metal” #1, Scott Snyder […]

“Dragon Age: Those Who Speak”

By Laura Merrill | Jun 17, 2020 | Reviews

Maker bless you, warriors, rogues, and mages, and welcome to our review of “Dragon Age: Those Who Speak” in which we join our heroes, Alistair, Varrick, and Isabela, on their continued quest to find Alistair’s father. While it’s undoubtedly an ensemble piece, the last installment focused a little more on Alistair, with a gloomy tone […]

“The Question” (1987) #5-8

By Elias Rosner | Jun 16, 2020 | Reviews

In between writing the last review and this one, writer Dennis O’Neil passed away, turning my journey into an unofficial tribute to the man, looking at one of his most distinctive non-Batman works through the lens of four stand-alone issues that paint a picture of a dying city and the people who have to find their way through it.

Downfall Featured

“Downfall”

By Johnny Hall | Jun 16, 2020 | Reviews

After finishing the last page of the self-contained graphic novel “Downfall” (“Reiraku”), I breathed a sigh of relief. What prolific manga creator Inio Asano has produced is a work of unabated misery and anguish- largely for his protagonist, but we should extend that circle outside the book to include the reader, as well. While some […]

The Webcomics Weekly #91: The Weeks Keep Coming (6/16/2020 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Jun 16, 2020 | Reviews

The work continues and it must not be neglected. Here, however, we "Trekker" on, trying to find "A Better Place," full of "Milk for the Snakes," a statement that gets me worried that'd be "RIP [for] You and Me."

Remembering Amalgam: “Spider-Boy” #1

By Drew Bradley | Jun 15, 2020 | Reviews

As mentioned in my opening piece on Amalgam, I’m spending this summer looking back at the 24 one-shots released by Marvel and DC in 1996 and 1997 that featured a merged universe mixing their various properties together. The first one up for an in-depth look is “Spider-Boy”. The Mash Up Spider-Man and the teenage clone […]

Why Should You Binge “Wandering Son”?

By Jodi Odgers | Jun 14, 2020 | Reviews

Going on a binge can be an incredibly rewarding but time-consuming endeavor. Here at Multiversity, we’re binging everything from acclaimed comics like “Manhattan Projects” and “Star Wars: Doctor Aphra” to landmarks of television like the first season of Legend of Korra, or Westworld. So why should you stick with me as I experience the manga “Wandering […]

Aphra Summer Binge Featured

“Star Wars: Doctor Aphra” #1-3

By Kate Kosturski | Jun 13, 2020 | Reviews

Last year, I used our inaugural Summer Comics Binge to try out comics from a property I love – – Doctor Who – – to see if I can translate my love of the TV show towards its comics in a thoughtful logical way. It worked out so well that I decided to try it […]
