By James Johnston | Dec 11, 2015 | Columns

“Secret Wars” #8 is here and so is Secret Wars Service. Join us as we recap the latest going ons in Marvel’s multiverse-ending extravaganza and wonder if Ben Grimm shouldn’t always be one of the monsters from Attack on Titan. We’ll try to answer that question in our spoiler-filled recap below! Last time on “Secret […]

Southern Bastards Vol 2: Gridiron Cover

2015 in Review: Best Ongoing Series

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 11, 2015 | Columns

Here it is, our final year in review category. In a lot of ways, this is the biggest of the fifteen lists we’ve posted this week. The ongoing comic series is such a huge part of what we talk about here at Multiversity, so to choose the top ten feels like it’s got some weight […]

2015 in Review: Best Artist

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 11, 2015 | Columns

This was, in terms of total nominations, our biggest category. All told, Multiversity staffers threw 87 different artists into the mix. This meant that not only was there a wide and deep representation of internationally recognized talent, but that there’d also be a whole lot of math to do in order to determine a winner! […]

Southern Bastards Vol 2: Gridiron Cover

2015 in Review: Best Writer

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 11, 2015 | Columns

So this is it, we’ve made it to the first of our big three year-end lists! We had almost seventy nominees in this category, which guarantees a wide range of voices and stories. Our top ten had a healthy mix of faces both familiar and fresh, in terms of our annual lists. So check out […]

2015 in Review: Best Single Issue

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 10, 2015 | Columns

How many comics come out every year? Thousands? Tens of thousands? It’s with that in mind that we set out to determine the ten best single issues of the year. It’s a nigh-Herculian task, for sure, but it’s one we do every year. So dust off the ol’ memory banks and dive in to our […]

2015 in Review: Breakout Artist

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 10, 2015 | Columns

Here’s the second half or our ‘breakout’ category. In case you missed it, not only is it a sturdy list, but it also included our thoughts on how you try to determine if someone has broken out or not. It’s a tricky set of categories for sure. It’s easy to imagine the artists below, with […]

The Omega Men #1 Cover

2015 in Review: Breakout Writer

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 10, 2015 | Columns

So what’s it mean to be a ‘breakout,’ anyway? Well, by our reasoning, a breakout creator is someone who’s got a body of work to their name, but over the past twelve months has found wider recognition amongst fans. While some of the writers below may have landed on your radar before 2015 began, our staff […]

2015 in Review: Best Publisher

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 9, 2015 | Columns

For the last six years, this category has been a staple of our best-of lists. Last year, when ten different publishers were nominated, it was noteworthy. We took it as not only an indicator of growth in the industry, but also as a sign that there was a growing hunger for diversity in comics. So imagine our […]

2015 in Review: Best Graphic Novel

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 9, 2015 | Columns

The graphic novel. According to the wider world, this is the title you pin on a respectable comic book. For so long this term was affixed to titles like “Batman: Year One” and the ever present “Watchmen,” which, based on original intent and publication, I would say are most certainly comic books. But we’re not here […]

The Omega Men #3 Cover

2015 in Review: Best New Series

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 9, 2015 | Columns

While a number of these series will appear on a few of our other ‘Best Of’ lists this year, we still think that it’s important to call out the impactful comics that got their start this year. All told, 44 different series were nominated in this category, and they covered quite the spectrum. Everything from […]

This Month In Comics: November 2015

By Jess Camacho | Dec 8, 2015 | Columns

November in comic books was almost a blur for me thanks to there being so many books, binge watching Jessica Jones and my hectic work schedule, I didn’t get to nearly everything but that’s basically impossible anyway. Here’s what I consider the best of November. Best Issue: Midnighter #6 I won’t spoil what happens in this […]

2015 in Review: Best Cover Artist

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 8, 2015 | Columns

One of the many nice things about comics? You can judge a book by it’s cover! Even if the cover artist is different from whoever did the interiors, the cover acts as a primer for what’s to come. They’re like movie posters, flashing the most exciting and tantalizing elements of the issue, even if what’s […]

2015 in Review: Best Mini-Series

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 8, 2015 | Columns

Oh, the mini series. The short run, minimal commitment that can serve as an oasis in the middle of continuity-laden publishing lines. Or, at least, that’s what the mini series looked like once upon a time. Now, they tend to serve a different purpose. Smaller publishers use the mini series to build up steam and […]

2015 in Review: Best Reprint Edition

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 8, 2015 | Columns

In preparing for this year’s categories, we wondered what it would be like to include something like this. It seems that, for a growing number of publishers, the reprinted edition is becoming a larger and larger part of their product line. Between DC’s wholehearted commitment to their Deluxe Edition initiative and Marvel’s enthusiasm for the Omnibus, all […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (12/9/2015)

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 8, 2015 | Columns

Buying comics can be an expensive hobby. A lot of fans simply can’t afford everything they’re interested in, due to rising prices and the over-saturation of the market with superhero titles. That’s why we’re here. Every week, the Multiversity staff is asked “What would you buy this week if you couldn’t go over $20?” and […]

2015 in Review: Best Anthology

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 7, 2015 | Columns

Here’s another new category! The anthology is so important to comics. In the US, back when newspaper strips were all the rage, publishers started collecting these cartoons into big, single issues to sell to kids. The collecting of disparate strips by a great variety of artists into a single publication created, by the very definition […]

2015 in Review: Best Colorist

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 7, 2015 | Columns

Thius is the first of a few new categories we’re rolling out this year. In an attempt to further explore the craft of comics creation, we decided to set our staff loose on the colorists who help bring so many of the comics we enjoy to life. The nominations covered all sorts of styles and […]

2015 in Review: Best Comic Adaptation

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 7, 2015 | Columns

In a year where movies based on comics saw both critical (Peanuts) and financial (Age of Ultron) success, it was the small screen that dominated our lists this year. Agent Carter, Supergirl, and the atypical One Punch Man all earned heavy favor from the Multiversity staff, though none broke into the top three. So what […]
