By Oscar Rodriguez Mangier | Feb 14, 2017 | Longform

There are many interpretations of the World’s Greatest Archer but one can’t start without mentioning his origins. When he was introduced in 1941, Green Arrow was originally quite different from his usual portrayal today. Created by Mortimer Weisinger and George Papp in “More Fun Comics” #73, Green Arrow actually started as an archaeologist who ended […]

By Multiversity Staff | Feb 14, 2017 | Columns

Fialkov and Gabo Close The Door On “The Life After”

By Jess Camacho | Feb 13, 2017 | Interviews

When “The Life After” launched, I jumped into it not entirely sure what to expect. What I got was one of the funniest but most poignant visions of the afterlife I’d ever seen in comic books.

The Lego Batman Movie

By Nicholas Palmieri | Feb 13, 2017 | Movies, Reviews

To understand what a feat The Lego Batman Movie is, first consider the concept: a spin-off of an animated movie based on a toy line based on licensed characters that originated in comics.

Exclusive Preview: “Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye” #5

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 13, 2017 | Previews

DC’s “pop-up imprint” Young Animal has been an incredible success thus far. It combines a deep love of DC’s past, a healthy appreciation for independent comics, and a sense of adventure and risk-taking that harkens back to the glory days of Vertigo. No book, to me, better exemplifies all of these components than “Cave Carson […]

Five Thoughts on Legion‘s “Chapter 1”

By Vince Ostrowski | Feb 9, 2017 | Television

FX’s Legion debuted last night and put my brain in a high speed blender. Let’s try to make sense of it all: 1. Make Mine Fargo If you’re not familiar with Legion‘s showrunner Noah Hawley already might I recommend his concurrently running, currently on temporary hiatus, FX series Fargo? It technically plays in the same […]

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 6, 2017 | Previews

“Deathstroke” continues to be one of the most unusual and thrilling books of DC’s ‘Rebirth’ line.

Superhero TV shows are everywhere right now. There are so many of them, I’m not even sure I can name them all off the top of my head.
