“1963” #1

By Jodi Odgers | Apr 30, 2020 | Reviews

Homages to the superheroes of ages past are a regular feature of modern comics. Whether it’s “Mister Miracle” deconstructing Jack Kirby’s New Gods or “Pink Lemonade” creating a new Silver Age heroine in 2019, it is usually interesting to have artists recreate or re-imagine the characters and styles from comics’ history. “1963” is no exception. […]

The Webcomics Weekly #84: Every Day is New Comic Book Day (4/28/2020 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Apr 28, 2020 | Reviews

On the Internet everyday is new comic book day, because that’s how timezones work! This week: “Agents” has some well done character drama and begins to peel away at the lore of the Other Realm. Chandra keeps on going as Jason works through the second chapter of “The Otherknown.” AWA studios webcomic conversions continues to […]

Extraction

By Michael Mazzacane | Apr 28, 2020 | Movies, Reviews

Adapted from the graphic novel “Ciudad” written by Ande Parks and the Russo Bros. with art by Fernando León González, Extraction provides a surprisingly solid turn by Chris Hemsworth and a good example of what strong action storytelling looks like all the while falling into a pit of hollow and problematic narrative cliches. With how […]

“The Lion Graphic Bible”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Apr 28, 2020 | Reviews

It’s the Greatest Story Ever Told – but is it the greatest graphic novel ever produced? Probably not, but it’s an intensely cinematic read nonetheless. Written by Mike Maddox Illustrated by Jeff Anderson Lettered by Steve Harrison Design by Jonathan Roberts The Bible is a unique narrative of origins and cosmic powers; of the ageless […]

The Image Revolution

By Kate Kosturski | Apr 27, 2020 | Movies, Reviews

As we continue our celebration of the founding of Image Comics, we take a look at a documentary from Sequart and Respect Films detailing the founding of the publisher that aimed to be more than a publisher, but a place where creators could really flourish as entrepreneurs. Every creative type wants to avoid the Siegel […]

“Stupid” #1

By Elias Rosner | Apr 24, 2020 | Reviews

This comic isn’t all it’s Cracked up to be. It’ll make you Sick to your stomach as it Plop!s out its plot. Thankfully, this is Not Brand Echh or Image might have been in real trouble. Instead, it’s a little bit more Crazy, taking us on a National Lampoon out to sea. I’m not MAD. It’s just “Stupid.”

“The Savage Dragon” #1

By Joe Skonce | Apr 24, 2020 | Reviews

The only thing I really know about comics from the ’90s is their reputation. A period marked by everything being EXTREME! The costumes, the personalities, attitudes, and situations all turned up to eleven. While this is more than likely an exaggeration, most of the art and panels that are still remembered help to reinforce this […]

“Groo” #1

By Christa Harader | Apr 24, 2020 | Reviews

"Groo" #1 is a delightful pit-stop along this classic humor comic's past - and future - trajectory of excellence.

“Pitt” #1

By Christopher Egan | Apr 24, 2020 | Reviews

As we at Multiversity Comics revisit the books that launched Image Comics, we take a look at the human/alien hybrid Pitt. The warrior creature who must reconcile with both sides of his heritage while taking down gang members and other villains. Pitt #1 went on to be the second best selling comic of November 1992 […]

WildC.A.T.s. #1

“WildC.A.T.s” #1

By Alexander Jones | Apr 23, 2020 | Reviews

We’re a few decades removed from the August 1992 debut of “WildC.A.T.s” #1. After all this time, “WildC.A.T.s” co-creator Jim Lee is still heavily associated with the property. A few decades later DC just inadvertently ended another reboot of the WildC.A.T.s property with “The Wild Storm” #24 last year. We know that Jim Lee’s WildStorm […]

“Prophet” #1

By Luke Cornelius | Apr 23, 2020 | Reviews

Going back to the titles from the first three years of Image Comics is going, quite literally, to before my time. I recognised only a handful of the titles, for better or worse, mainly because they’re still being published today or have recently had a reboot or a crossover with another series. I wouldn’t be […]

“Gen13” #0-2

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 23, 2020 | Reviews

Let us return to the 90’s, a time in comics where publishers were in an arms race to see who could fit the biggest guns, biggest muscles, and the tightest-fitting clothes into a single comic. During this time, Gen13 tried to introduce a new team of super-powered young adults. Did it work out? Let’s take […]

“The Maxx” #1-4

By Gustavo S Lodi | Apr 23, 2020 | Reviews

Originally published in the early nineties, on the onset of Image, “The Maxx” took comics by storm with its innovative and layered storytelling, and with an even more experimental style by Sam Kieth. Years after, it remains groundbreaking. Written by Sam Kieth (story) and William Messner-Loebs (script) Illustrated by Sam Kieth Colored by Ronda Pattison […]

The experienced angel […]

“Youngblood” #1

By Matthew Blair | Apr 23, 2020 | Reviews

I love Image Comics, mostly because I love the idea that forms the company’s values and beliefs. Ever since their foundation in 1992 their core philosophy has been that the creative types who pour their own sweat, tears, and grey matter onto the page in order to produce comics should own the stuff they create. […]

Archangel 8 #1 featured

The Webcomics Weekly #83: Illusory 4th Dimensions (4/21/20 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Apr 21, 2020 | Reviews

Don't let the hyper-dour icon fool you, we're still here, mixing pep and whimsy into our webcomics coverage! We got quite a lineup this week, with "Wanted Gangstars" joining our returners "A Better Place," "Order of the Stick," and "Trekker." Oh, and we got another print to webcomic transition in the form of AWA's "Archangel 8."

“Warriors Three” #1-4: ‘Dog Day Afternoon’

By Joe Skonce | Apr 17, 2020 | Reviews

In a world of frost giants, fantastical realms, and magical hammers, my favorite setting in Thor was the little town of Broxton, Oklahoma. Placing the Realm Eternal over such a normal city allowed for some incredibly fun “fish out of water” stories, a literal juxtaposition of the ordinary and extraordinary. These stories allowed for a […]

“Niobe: She is Life” #1

By Kate Kosturski | Apr 17, 2020 | Reviews

Elf teen Niobe Ayutami finds herself between past and future, seeking answers as she tries to understand herself. Written by Sebastian Jones and Amandla Stenberg Illustrated by Darrell May and Ashley A.

“The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis”

By Jonathan O'Neal | Apr 17, 2020 | Reviews

In the early days of the quarantine (or perhaps it was during the spring break staycation—who can remember?), I visited my comic book themed Amazon wish list, determined to pull the trigger on its longest-tenured resident. The dubious honor went to “The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis,” languishing there for almost a decade. Written by Ian […]

“Casanova” #1

By Jodi Odgers | Apr 16, 2020 | Reviews

“Casanova” is such a well-constructed piece of comic fiction that, instead of talking about a whole volume of what is now a nearly fourteen-year-old comic, this review will focus on just the first issue. Hopefully, this small taste of the madness that the creative team has created will be enough to entice you into diving […]
