“DMZ” Vol. 1

By Matthew Blair | Apr 16, 2020 | Reviews

Let’s take things back to the year 2006, a simpler time when all we ever had to worry about was global terrorism, two massive and illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the end of personal liberty as we know it, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe was still a year away. But hey, at least Americans […]

“Daytripper”

By Christopher Egan | Apr 16, 2020 | Reviews

It’s hard to believe that “Daytripper” first premiered ten years ago in its original ten issue format before being collected in both a trade paperback and simply stunning deluxe hardcover edition. Fábio Moon & Gabriel Bá’s masterpiece of life, death, and everything in between is still as poignant and beautiful as it has ever been. […]

“Young Avengers” Vol. 1: Sidekicks

By Michael Govan | Apr 16, 2020 | Reviews

I bought my very first comics way back in fifth grade. One of those comics was an issue of, you guessed it, “Young Avengers”. Issue number two to be exact. This title blew my mind back then and some fourteen, fifteen odd years later, it still holds up. The whole YA run is pretty good […]

“Monk!”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 14, 2020 | Reviews

Despite them being visual descriptions of a purely auditory experience, comics about music are some of the most interesting books. To see how an artist interprets one type of art and transforms it into something totally different leads into some fascinating places. Youssef Daoudi takes the boundary-less jazz of Thelonious Monk and creates a book […]

The Webcomics Weekly #82: Running Out of Home Puns (4/14/2020 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Apr 14, 2020 | Reviews

Remember when this space was used to make allusions to and fun of our march to #100? What would happen, would there be a reboot? etc. Man that feels like a while ago – it wasn’t. But Webcomics continue to come out and we continue to read them in between figuring out new at home […]

“The Best We Could Do”

By Kate Kosturski | Apr 13, 2020 | Reviews

At times, Thi Bui’s memoir of growing up in Vietnam and America will both crush you and give you hope. It’s a reminder in these social distancing times of the value of family, even when we are apart. Written and Illustrated by Thi Bui This beautifully illustrated and emotional story is an evocative memoir about […]

“The Books of Magic”

By Frida Keränen | Apr 13, 2020 | Reviews

Nearly every piece of writing about “The Books of Magic” seems to start by comparing it to Harry Potter. After all, the premise of “young bespectacled boy is told he is capable of magic” makes it an easy connection. This makes the comic a bit hard to sell for new readers, even though “The Books […]

“Forgotten Realms: The Legend of Drizzt” Omnibus #1

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 10, 2020 | Reviews

If you’ve been following my reviews, you’ll know I love “Dungeons & Dragons.” We’ve taken a few looks at “Rick and Morty vs Dungeons & Dragons,” multiple arcs of Jim Zub’s “Dungeons & Dragons” comics starring Minsc & Boo, and even several D&D-adjacent comics like “Pathfinder” and “Munchkin.” But the lore of D&D and the […]

“Astonishing X-Men” #1-6

By Gustavo S Lodi | Apr 10, 2020 | Reviews

At the current time of great renovation for the X-Men franchise under the ‘Dawn of X’ relaunch, we look back at one of the great modern runs of the publishing line, that of “Astonishing X-Men” by Joss Whedon and John Cassaday. Written by Joss Whedon Illustrated by John Cassaday Colored by Laura Martin Lettered by […]

ODY-C Volume 1 Featured

“ODY-C, Volume 1: Journey to Far Ithacaa”

By Christa Harader | Apr 10, 2020 | Reviews

If I had a dollar for every “ODY-C” solicit or review that uses the term “gender-bending,” we’d all be millionaires. Warning: spoilers ahead. Obviously. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by Christian Ward Flatted by Dee Cunniffe Lettered by Chris Eliopoulos An epic 26 centuries in the making: In the aftermath of a galactic war a […]

“Guardians of the Galaxy” #0.1

By Luke Cornelius | Apr 9, 2020 | Reviews

If you cast your mind back to 2013, we lived in a world where hardly anyone knew the Guardians of the Galaxy. Hardly anyone was “Hooked on a Feeling,” but that didn’t worry Feige and co.. Not resting on their laurels following their record-breaking box office success that saw the Avengers assemble for the first […]

“Death Vigil” Vol. 1

By Gregory Ellner | Apr 9, 2020 | Reviews

Merge actual, physical hearts with a hefty emotional one in the extant arc of Stjepan Sejic’s “Death Vigil!” Written, Illustrated, Colored, and Lettered by Stjepan Sejic Gifted? Join the Death Vigil in their ongoing war against the ever-growing power of the Primordial Enemy! The only catch is you have to die first. Become a corporeal […]

“Chase” #1-#9

By Alexander Jones | Apr 9, 2020 | Reviews

Cameron Chase is an agent of the Department of Extranormal Operations. Cameron is responsible for watching and eliminating metahuman threats to the DC Universe. When a mission is too small for the Justice League or requires a more covert setting, Cameron is DEO Director Bones’ first choice to investigate. The series spans nine normal issues […]

“Chew” #1

By Matthew Blair | Apr 9, 2020 | Reviews

You know what I hate most about this particular time of social distancing and quarantine? Not being able to eat out. Sure, food delivery is a thing, but I don’t want to add $10 plus tip to the price of my food and cooking for myself is such a chore. Also, while the governments of […]

“Dragon Ball” Vol. 1

By Elias Rosner | Apr 9, 2020 | Reviews

Y’all, Bulma straight up tries to kill Goku in the first chapter and it’s played for laughs. The beginnings of "Dragon Ball" are wild.

“Blue is the Warmest Color”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Apr 7, 2020 | Reviews

Note: this article was published before the author came out as trans and non-binary, and originally referred to them by their birth name and pronouns. Ten years after its publication, Jul Maroh’s “Blue is the Warmest Color” (“Le bleu est une couleur chaude,” lit. “Blue is a warm color”) remains a poignant and moving love […]

The Webcomics Weekly #81: This Too Shall Pass (4/7/2020 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Apr 7, 2020 | Reviews

Welcome back to The Webcomics Weekly y’all. There’s a story that I’ve been thinking about, about King Solomon and a Ring — though it seems silly to recount it here — and a song that shares its title, perhaps because I’ve been listening to Joseph Fink’s newest podcast, perhaps because all that’s swirling around in […]

“New X-Men” #114-116: ‘E is for Extinction’

By Joe Skonce | Apr 3, 2020 | Reviews

In 2019, I decided to really start paying attention to “X-Men.” Now I had read the occasional run here or there, Jason Aaron’s “Wolverine and the X-Men” holding a particularly special place in my heart, but there was always something about the X-books that intimidated me. The mutant world features an incredibly large number of […]

“Marvel Comics Presents” #102

By Elias Rosner | Apr 3, 2020 | Reviews

Sometimes you find a random issue in a garage sale, slightly worn and only a dollar. Sometimes that issue starts you on a journey into a series you never would have found or tried otherwise. It’s a revelation, a wonder, a true hidden gem. This is not one of those comics.

“Witchblade” (1995) #1

By Kate Kosturski | Apr 3, 2020 | Reviews

If you’re a fan of our Summer TV Binge, you’ll recall that this year, my boyfriend and I took a look at the first season of TNT’s Witchblade. We decided not too long ago to pick up with the second season, which then had me thinking to go back and look at the source comic – – […]

American Vampire Second Cycle #5 Featured

“American Vampire: Second Cycle” #5

By Gregory Ellner | Apr 2, 2020 | Reviews

As implied in The Red Book, “American Vampire” is not a typical story of vampires and the act of hunting them across the ages. With ‘The Miner’s Journal,’ the tale of monsters proves as much, using a book purported to have been once owned by Howard Phillips “H.P.” Lovecraft to delve deep into the author’s […]
