“Protector” #1

By Rowan Grover | Jan 30, 2020 | Reviews

Sometimes, a series creeps past your attention and manages to snag it completely and unquestionably. The announcement of “Protector” #1 did that to me. With such a stellar creative team on board, featuring but not exclusive to one of my favorite sci-fi comics workers Simon Roy and killer cartoonist Artyom Trakhanov, as well as giant […]

Mignolaversity: “Witchfinder: The Reign of Darkness” #3

By Mark Tweedale and Christopher Lewis | Jan 29, 2020 | Reviews

“Witchfinder: The Reign of Darkness” was always going to be a turning point for Sir Edward Grey—he’d never leave the service of Queen Victoria lightly, after all—and in this latest issue, the big changes start happening. Read on for our spoiler-filled review. Written by Mike Mignola and Chris Roberson Illustrated by Christopher Mitten Colored by […]

Feature: Frankenstein Undone #1 (Stenbeck cover)

Mignolaversity: “Frankenstein Undone” #1

By Mark Tweedale and Christopher Lewis | Jan 29, 2020 | Reviews

“Frankenstein Undone” explores strange territory for the Hellboy Universe. Both a sequel to Mary Shelley’s 1818 novella Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus and a prequel to Mike Mignola and Ben Stenbeck’s 2015 miniseries “Frankenstein Underground,” “Frankenstein Undone” bridges two different mediums and literary styles, while still infusing elements that are distinctly its own. And it […]

“The Fearsome Doctor Fang”

By Elias Rosner | Jan 28, 2020 | Reviews

TKO Studios burst onto the scene late in 2018 with a new business model: 4 titles, six issues each, released in single, trade, and digital format all at once. As such, they fell out of our usual review cycle. Let’s rectify that and see if the pulp-inspired Wave 1 title is as fearsome as its title suggests.

The Webcomics Weekly #71: Themeless, Without A Rudder (1/28/2020 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Jan 28, 2020 | Reviews

It's 2020 and there's nothing we love more than bringing you new and old to welcome in a decade that's sure to be characterized by referring to the 1920s. We got your "A Better Place"'s, your "Order of the Stick"'s. We got "Bicycle Boy," "Down to Earth" and "Lomy in the Abyss." We got it all. . .if by all you mean five.

“Green Lantern: Legacy”

By Paul Lai | Jan 27, 2020 | Reviews

“Green Lantern: Legacy” is not only a fun and satisfying DC Kids remix. It’s also an affirmation of Vietnamese American cultural legacies. Writer Minh Lê (author of Drawn Together and Let Me Finish) and artist Andie Tong have created a beautiful exhibition of superhero story as cultural sustenance.

By Multiversity Staff | Jan 27, 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.

“Guardians of the Galaxy” #1

By Gustavo S Lodi | Jan 24, 2020 | Reviews

After a short, but exciting run under the pen of Donny Cates, “Guardians of the Galaxy” now relaunches under Al Ewing and team. Given Ewing’s recent work on the cosmic side of Marvel, from “The Ultimates” to the weekly “Avengers” series, readers should be prepared for a complex treat, on a well written, and beautifully […]

“Captain Marvel” #14

By Michael Govan | Jan 24, 2020 | Reviews

Sometimes, comic book tropes can be exhausting. Characters die and then they’re back in a month or two. Aliens are invading New York…again. An evil scientist is building yet another death ray. If not executed properly, it can all wear thin very fast. On the other hand, if it is executed properly? Well, the old […]

“Folklords” #3

By Joe Skonce | Jan 24, 2020 | Reviews

Folk tales are stories that usually had morals. “Don’t go into the woods.” “Don’t talk to strangers.” “Listen to your parents.” In most of these tales, children would break the rule and then be tormented by the monsters they were warned about. “Folklords” #3 begins with the promise that the narrator is “not the voice […]

“Far Sector” #3

By Alexander Jones | Jan 24, 2020 | Reviews

“Atlantis Attacks” #1

By Matthew Blair | Jan 24, 2020 | Reviews

Namor the Submariner is an interesting figure in the Marvel cannon, and is a character that isn’t getting the attention he really deserves. He was one of Marvel’s first big superheroes back when the were called Timely Comics, beating DC’s Aquaman by two years. He shared the limelight with the original robot Human Torch and […]

“Ghostbusters: Year One” #1

By Rowan Grover | Jan 23, 2020 | Reviews

The Ghostbusters phenomenon is one that I never really cashed in on. I do have a soft spot for the original movie, but I’ve never consumed any of the wider media properties surrounding it, including the recent reboot. Now, with another reboot on the horizon, IDW is looking to catch people up on what happened […]

“I Can Sell You A Body” #2 continues the misadventures of Denny, Henrietta and a few good – I mean, dead – men. Warning: spoilers ahead. Written & Lettered by Ryan Ferrier Illustrated by George Kambadais Desperate Denny definitely doubles down on doing demonic deeds to distract the dastardly deviants demanding his death.

By Mark Tweedale | Jan 22, 2020 | Reviews

In Alex Alice’s “The Castle in the Stars: The Space Race of 1869,” we are invited into a world where the vision of the cosmos in the nineteenth century is not fanciful, but rather a scientifically accurate hypothesis. The planets closer to the sun are indeed younger and could be teeming with prehistoric life, while […]

“British Ice”

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | Jan 20, 2020 | Reviews

“British Ice,” by Owen D. Pomery, follows a mild-mannered British Commissioner named Harrison Fleet as he takes control of an imagined British Overseas Territory. But, when he arrives, it’s clear that there is quite a bit of history around this territory, and that as a British commissioner, he is very unwelcome. What happened in this […]
