“Daredevil” #170-172

By Matthew Blair | May 14, 2020 | Reviews

If you ask any comic book fan worth their salt to give their opinion on Frank Miller you’ll probably get something along the lines of “Well, he used to be good, but he’s not anymore” and that’s a pretty fair statement. In fact, I honestly think that Holy Terror is one of the most offensive […]

“Masks” #1-8

By Joe Skonce | May 14, 2020 | Reviews

It’s safe to say that without the pulp heroes of the 1920s, ‘30s, and ‘40s, Superheroes would have a totally different look and feel to them. While there were many genres of pulp fiction, ranging from science fiction, Westerns, and fantasy, it was the masked vigilantes that really left their mark on pop culture. These […]

“Heart in a Box”

By Elias Rosner | May 14, 2020 | Reviews

If you could wish away all the pain of heartbreak, would you? If you could let go of all those memories, the ones that seep in at night, that remind you of good times before it all turned sour, a poison pretending to be a salve, would you? If you could be numb to it […]

Spider-Man Blue Featured

“Spider-Man Blue” #1-6

By Gustavo S Lodi | May 14, 2020 | Reviews

Not as often as it could be, there comes a comics series that is so honest, so true to their core characters and experience, that they become a seminal read, a defining read for those involved (characters and creators). “Spider-Man Blue” by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale is such a treat. Written by Jeph Loeb […]

Webcomics Weekly #86: Post-Martha’s Day Edition (5/12/20 edition)

By Multiversity Staff | May 12, 2020 | Reviews

Webcomics Weekly continues its march to our 100th edition, but first we have to get through this post-Mother’s Day edition. This week we get a well executed “lore dump” that’s really a character piece in “Agents of the Realm.”Elias takes a look at the trippy new series from Alanphabetology, but maybe that’s a “Bad Sign.” […]

“Aliens: Labyrinth”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | May 11, 2020 | Reviews

Alien and Aliens are incredible films, but the true source of fans’ fascination with the franchise arguably remains H.R. Giger’s repulsive yet beautiful beast itself. Seemingly the deadly darkness of space come to life, it’s an amoral monster that you can only dream of studying safely, and it’s this dangerous fantasy that fueled Jim Woodring […]

“I Can’t Believe it’s Not the Justice League”

By Robbie Pleasant | May 8, 2020 | Reviews

Although those my age may shiver at the thought of reviewing a comic from the early 2000’s as an “oldie,” it’s been 15 years since “JLA: Classified” introduced us to the Super Buddies in “I Can’t Believe it’s Not the Justice League.” While “Justice League International” became more and more of a comedy over time […]

“X-Club” #1-5

By Alexander Jones | May 7, 2020 | Reviews

Marvel’s lesser-known science-based X-Team assembled in their own mini-series in the pages of “X-Club” #1-5. The title is an endlessly fascinating but overlooked Marvel Comics gem that is begging for an in-depth analysis.

“Afterlife with Archie” #1-5

By Luke Cornelius | May 7, 2020 | Reviews

Despite there being a plethora of Archie comics out there, I’ve never read any of them. Sure, that relaunch with Fiona Staples artwork was tempting, with a handful of other intriguing miniseries following that, but I’m yet to sit down and read any. I’ve read “Criminal: The Last of the Innocent,” which has its Archie […]

Mignolaversity: “The Amazing Screw-On Head and Other Curious Objects”

By Mark Tweedale and James Dowling | May 6, 2020 | Reviews

With no new comics coming out at the moment, now seems like a good time to revisit older Mignola stories, and what better way to kick that off than with “The Amazing Screw-On Head and Other Curious Objects,” a book full of Mignola gems. Mike Mignola has deservedly become one of the biggest names in […]

Lithuania spent the 20th century in a series of occupations and movements for independence. “Siberian Haiku” takes place in the exact middle, starting in June 14, 1941, when the occupying Soviet Union quickly deported some ten thousand people to Siberia.

“Supreme” #1

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 30, 2020 | Reviews

Although I can’t remember exactly when/where I bought it, no single comic brings back memories of my 12 year old self than “Supreme” #1. Revisiting the issue has both been a trip back to adolescence and a new experience with a book I (thought I) knew. Written by Rob Liefeld and Brian Murray Penciled by […]

“Stormwatch” #1

By Michael Govan | Apr 30, 2020 | Reviews

It blows my mind when I stop and think about how mainstream superheroes have become in recent history. I mean, I remember a time when kids tore up my comics so to see these characters embraced like this is really something. In this day and age, even once-obscure characters like Star-Lord are known far and […]
