“Batman” #92

By Kate Kosturski | Jun 12, 2020 | Reviews

Here’s the Punchline – – literally and figuratively. While the buzz around “Batman” #92 has been with the Joker’s new partner in business and romance coming face to face with Harley Quinn for the first time, the real punchline is Batman’s versus The Designer – – and what he knows. Joke’s on the Bat now. […]

“Star Wars Legacy: Broken”

By Jaina Hill | Jun 11, 2020 | Reviews

Before the Force awakened, before there was Rey, before there was Kylo Ren, there was the EU. The Star Wars Expanded Universe (now called Legends) covered eons of story, but only one dared look at the future of the Galaxy Far, Far Away. Welcome to our coverage of “Star Wars Legacy.” Every week we will […]

“Batman: Gothic”

By Jonathan O'Neal | Jun 11, 2020 | Reviews

1989 was a monumental year for the caped crusader. In June, Tim Burton’s cinematic interpretation of the character hit multiplexes and became a runaway blockbuster. After the previous year’s now-classic (if too sadistic for this reviewer) “The Killing Joke” was almost immediately hailed as the definitive origin of Batman’s arch-nemesis The Joker, another writer from […]

F. Paul Wilson's Repairman Jack Scar-Lip Redux

“F. Paul Wilson’s Repairman Jack: Scar-Lip Redux”

By Justin McGuire | Jun 11, 2020 | Reviews

“F. Paul Wilson’s Repairman Jack: Scar-Lip Redux” does a great job of building a classic thriller on top of supernatural elements. Repairman Jack is fundamentally a private detective who solves problems no one else can. He’s cut from the Hammer detective mold, a hard hitting man who makes up for being not particularly brilliant by […]

“Deadpool” #5

By Robbie Pleasant | Jun 11, 2020 | Reviews

Slowly but steadily, comics are starting to return to speed. One eagerly-awaited series return is “Deadpool,” where Kelly Thompson has made him the king of the monsters, teamed him up with Elsa Bloodstone, and perhaps most importantly, put Jeff the Land Shark in his care. How does this issue play out? Let’s find out. Written […]

“Excalibur” #10

By Alexander Jones | Jun 11, 2020 | Reviews

Marvel’s “Excalibur” has been a “Dawn of X” title that is unafraid to explore heady concepts. In addition to the usual X-Men tropes, “Excalibur” brings the Braddock family to the spotlight. The series is usually headlined by Captain Britain who passed the mantle to his sister Betsy Braddock. This new incarnation of “Excalibur” differentiates itself […]

Maker bless you, warriors, rogues, and mages, and welcome to our review of “Dragon Age: The Silent Grove.” If you’re an enormous fan of the Dragon Age game series like I am, then you’re straight up chuffed for any opportunity to spend a few more hours in the world of Thedas in the years between […]

“Stranger Things: Zombie Boys”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Jun 10, 2020 | Reviews

One of the strange parts of the Stranger Things phenomenon is that it is a show about children, but not aimed at them, and as a result is a much more intense adventure series than you’d expect — the entire show is arguably a tribute to the kids who’d disobey their parents, and stay up […]

“The Question” (1987) #1-4

By Elias Rosner | Jun 9, 2020 | Reviews

Hub City. A cesspool of crime. Filled with all the characters you’d expect. A corrupt, alcoholic mayor. An even more corrupt, uncaring police force. A deacon with delusions of grandeur. And then there’s our hero. A reporter who tells the truth, no bullshit. Sharp as a whip. An asshole to the tenth degree, with hubris and a penchant for violence to match.

This week the webcomics weekly has awards news and recomendations! As well as continuing coverage of “Agents of the Realm,” “Trekker,” and “The Otherknown,” with new coverage of “Chickenface,” and “Elephant Town.” One of the main functions of this column, ideally, is to provide a space that recognizes and recommends comics to you the read.

Remembering Amalgam

By Drew Bradley | Jun 8, 2020 | Reviews

For the briefest of moments in 1996, Amalgam Comics was the most popular comic book publisher in North America. In its debut week, it released twelve new number ones. All of them did well in sales, with eleven making it into Diamond’s top 20 sellers, and five of those making it into the top 10. […]

Based on Rick Remender and Greg Tocchini’s comic book, and directed by Olivier Megaton, Netflix’s The Last Days of American Crime follows three criminals (played by Edgar Ramirez, Anna Brewster, and Michael Pitt) as they carry out a heist — and escape to Canada — before the government turns on a signal that stops anyone […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 06/03/20

By Multiversity Staff | Jun 8, 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 […]

“Justice League Dark #22”

By Gustavo S Lodi | Jun 5, 2020 | Reviews

As the ‘Parliaments of Life’ arc reaches its halfway mark, readers get to experience the last moves on the chessboard by most key players. The combination of a tight script with inspired visual choices make it a great read. Written by Ram V & James Tynion IV Pencilled by Alvaro Martinez & Amancay Nahuelpan Inked […]

“Gryffen: Galaxy’s Most Wanted” #12

By Elias Rosner | Jun 4, 2020 | Reviews

These intros are supposed to be a certain length but this issue contains the line “Cool Motive... ...Still Genocide.” and nothing I can write can top that.

“Nailbiter Returns” #1

By Kobi Bordoley | Jun 4, 2020 | Reviews

The scene: a gimmicky horror themed bar in the Pacific Northwest, filled with A24 kids waxing poetic about horror cinéma, their true crime podcast favorites, and local gossip of the creepy variety. And with that opening sequence, we’re in the dark, tumultuous, meta-loving slasher world of Nailbiter. Welcome back to Buckaroo, Oregon. It’s the town […]

“Wine: A Graphic History”

By Edward Haynes | Jun 4, 2020 | Reviews

I quite like dry wine. I’m far from a sommelier but when trying to decide what wine to buy if the back of the bottle says it is dry, that is a selling point. What I’m less fond of is dry facts. “Wine: A Graphic History” is fairly dry. Newly translated, this French comic holds […]

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Every Generation” #1

By Christopher Egan | Jun 4, 2020 | Reviews

“Into every generation a Slayer is born: One girl in all the world, a chosen one. She alone will wield the strength and skill to fight the vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness; to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their number. She is the Slayer.” Written by Nilah Magruder, […]

“Reaver” #8

By Joe Skonce | Jun 4, 2020 | Reviews

There’s something compelling about stories involving a person’s struggle to improve and grow. In many cases, these stories involve the past coming back to haunt them taking the score of the person they were and who they are trying to become. It usually culminates in a moment, a realization that not only is it possible […]
