“Glass Town: The Imaginary World of the Brontës”

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | Jun 3, 2020 | Reviews

Jane Eyer. Whuthering Heights. The Brontë Sisters are some of the most well-known writers in the English language, having created works that have survived the test of time, and that you were probably forced to read in your 10th grade English class. The idea of Glass town though, proceeded all of this. Glass town was […]

The Webcomics Weekly #89: Be Excellent to Each Other (6/2/2020 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Jun 3, 2020 | Reviews

We here at The Webcomics Weekly try to keep things light and somewhat out of step with current events. Sometimes we can’t do that. So, before we get on with the reviews, here is an article from Rolling Stone on how to help and donate and two free books — book 1 & book 2 […]

“1602”

By Gustavo S Lodi | May 29, 2020 | Reviews

When acclaimed “Sandman” creator Neil Gaiman announced he would recreate the Marvel Universe, the comic book community was astounded back in 2010. Partnering with Andy Kubert and Richard Isanove, what followed was “1602,” a sprawling re-imaginaning of the House of Ideas. Written by Neil Gaiman Illustrated by Andy Kubert Colored by Richard Isanove Lettered by […]

Excalibur Air Apparent Featured

“Excalibur: Air Apparent”

By Robbie Pleasant | May 29, 2020 | Reviews

There have been a lot of X-teams over the years, and while it can be easy to confuse your X-Force with your X-Factor, it’s hard to mistake Excalibur for anything else (perhaps in part because they don’t call themselves X-Calibur). The team first launched in 1987 and has had several iterations over the years, including […]

“Only A Poor Old Man”

By Frida Keränen | May 28, 2020 | Reviews

“Only A Poor Old Man” largely defined the most famous character invented by one of America’s most important comic book creators. That is a heavy claim to make, but anything else would be an understatement. The first comic with Scrooge McDuck as the main character is maybe not Carl Barks’ absolute best work, but one […]

“Nemesis”

By Christopher Egan | May 28, 2020 | Reviews

In 2011 Mark Millar and Steve McNiven set out to ask a very interesting question. What if you took a character with nearly limitless wealth, intelligence, and resources, like a Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark; but rather than using these things to help those in need of saving, they became the ultimate super villain just […]

“Amazing Spider-Man (1999)” #36

By Kate Kosturski | May 28, 2020 | Reviews

Twenty years after 9/11, the world faces tragedy and fear with more questions and anxiety than easy answers. What lessons can we learn today from the terror attacks in Peter Parker’s New York?

“The First Kingdom” Vol. 1: The Birth of Tundran

By Elias Rosner | May 28, 2020 | Reviews

HO! Yon traveller. Stop, and listen to the tale of Darkenmoor and his kin, Tundran, as they fight against fate and the gods of Helleas Voran themselves in a quest to drag what remains of humanity back to civilization. Behold, their rise and the folly that rise always was.

Feature: Frankenstein Undone #2

Mignolaversity: “Frankenstein Undone” #2

By Mark Tweedale and James Dowling | May 27, 2020 | Reviews

The Hellboy Universe is back and boy did we miss it! Somehow, “Frankenstein Undone” #2 ended up being the perfect way to return to Mignola’s comics after an absence. This issue would’ve always been a powerful read, but the break heightened it. As a result, here’s your spoiler warning. There was a lot we wanted […]

“Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka” Vol. 1

By Rowan Grover | May 22, 2020 | Reviews

Two of the biggest names in the manga industry are undoubtedly Osamu Tezuka and Naoki Urasawa. Both have a body of work that, whilst a generation apart, are nearly completely critically acclaimed. So what happens when Urasawa decides that he wants to do his own take (a cover, if you will) on one of Tezuka’s […]

“Geisha”

By Jodi Odgers | May 22, 2020 | Reviews

Androids indistinguishable from humans may not yet exist, but they are a prevalent force in science fiction. There are many tales of one robot’s struggle to fit in with human society, but few are handled as elegantly and humanely as Andi Watson’s “Geisha”. In four chapters and less than 100 pages, Watson explores themes of […]

“Scalped” Vol. 1

By Matthew Blair | May 21, 2020 | Reviews

Vertigo will go down in history as one of the greatest comic book imprints of all time, and while it was sad to see it go in January of 2020 (serving as an appetizer to what would turn out to be an incredibly crappy year) it is understandable. Vertigo was originally created in 1993 to […]

“Captain Britain and MI-13” #1-4 ‘The Guns of Avalon’

By Joe Skonce | May 21, 2020 | Reviews

One of the true joys of the various books in ‘Dawn of X’ is that they cover such a wide array of different tones and kinds of adventures. Do you want a spy thriller? Go with ‘X-Force!’ Do you want some teen comedy inspired misadventures? ‘New Mutants’ is the place for you! Do you want […]

“Afterlife with Archie” #6-10

By Luke Cornelius | May 21, 2020 | Reviews

With “Afterlife with Archie”’s first arc giving audiences Archie comics like never before, and proving a hit critically and commercially, the desire for more of its horrific version of Riverdale was huge. Shortly after the second arc started, Aguirre-Sacasa launched “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” too, leaving “Afterlife with Archie”’s second arc to be published over […]

“Wonder Woman” #755

By Alexander Jones | May 21, 2020 | Reviews

Author G. Willow Wilson was in the middle of a story-arc when her run on “Wonder Woman” came to an abrupt ending. DC writer Steve Orlando was quickly assigned to the title and took over in issue #82. Orlando continued the previous plot threads seeded by Wilson and continued using the same villains. Now the […]

By Kate Kosturski | May 19, 2020 | Reviews

The Webcomics Weekly #87: Nine Realms to Rule Them All (5/19/2020 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | May 19, 2020 | Reviews

My typing fingers are slowly seizing up from all this work from home but I push on, for you all, and for the good of the column. I find myself wondering what "A Better Place" might be like. Would I find it in "Realm Nine" or while "Trekker"-ing to the "Order of the Stick" to cure my "Bloodclot?" Would I find out that "My Black's Don't Match?" I certainly hope not. I take pride in my ability to match black with black.

“Youth” #1

By Brian Salvatore | May 15, 2020 | Reviews

If this pandemic has done anything, it has made us all think about the effects our actions, and the actions of others, have. Increased hand washing, face masks, and social distancing have made us consider the domino effect of simple actions like going to the supermarket or getting the mail. It has also, if you’re […]

Adamtine Featured

“Adamtine”

By Jodi Odgers | May 15, 2020 | Reviews

Many comics, particularly superhero ones, rely on bright, engaging visuals to catch the reader’s eye on the shelf. “Adamtine” distinctly does not, harnessing the power of dark tones to give the thriller comic an almost crushing tension. What begins as a seemingly innocuous train ride quickly descends into a glimpse into the void for all […]
