“Nils: The Tree of Life”

By Justin McGuire | Feb 18, 2020 | Reviews

Jérôme Hamon looks at our world, and moves it forward to a future where near-magical hover cars and holograms coexist with mixtures of old religions and actual magic. It’s a fascinating world of contrasts, a world of nature and technology, and it’s a world on the edge of destruction. Franco-Belgium comics have a long history […]

“Parable of the Sower”

By Paul Lai | Feb 17, 2020 | Reviews

Damian Duffy and John Jennings garnered an Eisner for adapting the legendary Octavia Butler’s “Kindred,” a searing look at US antebellum slavery. Duffy’s adaptation and Jennings’ art return for Butler’s “Parable of the Sower” (Abrams), bringing her bleak but ultimately hopeful dystopian tale from 1993 to graphic novel audiences. Will the stunningly prescient “Parable of […]

By Multiversity Staff | Feb 17, 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 […]

“Nebula” #1

By Michael Govan | Feb 14, 2020 | Reviews

I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again, Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the most important MCU movies, hands down. There are ordinary people walking around that have never so much as picked up a comic but know who Yondu is. I’ve been reading comics for, give or take, fourteen years […]

“The Terrifics” #25

By Robbie Pleasant | Feb 14, 2020 | Reviews

Every choice we make can have far-reaching consequences. We can never know whether the choices we make are right until we see how they play out… or can we? In this case, Gene Luen Yang gives “The Terrifics” a new twist as the comic becomes a “Choose Your Own Adventure” story. With all the potential […]

By Gustavo S Lodi | Feb 14, 2020 | Reviews

Working as an anthology of sorts, “Superman: Heroes” #1 offers multiple glimpses at DC’s heroic community, as they react to Superman revealing his secret identity to the world.

“Alienated” #1

“Blackwood: The Mourning After” #1

By Matthew Blair | Feb 13, 2020 | Reviews

The idea of a fantasy school that teaches young, impressionable minds the art of magic is nothing new. In fact, ever since J.K Rowling created one of the most successful book franchises in human history, the idea of a magical school has become a staple trope of popular fiction with hundreds of authors trying to […]

“Gotham City Monsters” #6

By Joe Skonce | Feb 13, 2020 | Reviews

I’ve always been drawn to characters who save the day even when they are outcasts from society. It’s one thing to do the right thing when you are liked and respected but to save others, even if for ultimately selfish reasons, when you are feared and rejected has always been compelling. “Gotham City Monsters” #6 […]

“Gwen Stacy” #1

By Rowan Grover | Feb 13, 2020 | Reviews

Gwen Stacy is one of those sacred characters of Marvel Comics’ history, with her role relatively solidified for better or worse. She was such a formidable love interest for Peter Parker way back in the day, before tragically dying just to spur his journey forward. We’ve seen alternate takes on the character with the recent […]

Last week, Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino’s “Gideon Falls” wrapped up the ‘Pentoculus’ arc with a finale that could only ever unfold in the pages of a comic book.

“The Man Without Talent”

By Edward Haynes | Feb 10, 2020 | Reviews

Yoshiharu Tsuge was a pioneer. He helped create and popularise a genre of manga that was semi-autobiographical, delving into the slow minutiae and anxieties of the cartoonist’s lives. Bringing out a calm, literary sensibility within the manga industry. This pioneer spirit had failed to reach far beyond the shores of Japan, but now a new […]

“Conan: Battle for the Serpent’s Crown” #1

By Matthew Blair | Feb 7, 2020 | Reviews

You know what’s really exciting about the comic book industry? Tracking character and publication rights. For example, take Conan the Barbarian.

Part Wacky Racers, part Suicide Squad, and entirely beautiful, well-paced, and with sharp dialogue, “Backtrack” #1 is a great debut issue, with tons of promise.
