By Drew Bradley | Feb 24, 2015 | Columns

Earlier today, the Small Press Spotlight focused on Blue Juice Comics and their first title, “Accelerators”.

Small Press Spotlight: Accelerators

By Drew Bradley | Feb 24, 2015 | Columns

Earlier today, Blue Juice Comics received the Small Press Spotlight. As the flipside to that article, it’s time to focus on one of BJC’s titles that deserves your attention: Ronnie Porto and Gavin Smith’s “Accelerators” “Accelerators” was a long time coming. The story was originally a screenplay idea that Ronnie Porto submitted to the Blue […]

Blue Juice Comics is one of the newer kids on the small publisher block. Their first comic, “The Accelerators” #1, debuted May 2013.

By Multiversity Staff | Feb 24, 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 […]

Small Press Month: Building a Readership

By Drew Bradley | Feb 23, 2015 | Columns

Making a comic book can be tough work, especially when a creator has to do it as a hobby while holding down a day job. It’s thankless while the book’s in progress, but finishing it is quite an accomplishment. For the small or self publisher though, honing their comic-making talents is only half the battle. […]

Soliciting Multiversity: DC’s Top 10 (Non-Convergence) For May 2015

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 20, 2015 | Columns

This is a tough month to be covering DC’s solicits, as every single in-universe issue is wrapping up a “Covergence” tie in, or is the main “Convergence” series. So, instead of retreading ground from last month, I’m just looking at non-“Convergence” titles. So, if you’re curious as to my thoughts on the second month’s “Convergence” […]

Art Of The Week: 02/18/2015

By Alice W. Castle | Feb 18, 2015 | Columns

Last week, I barely missed out on making an all Spider-Man Art Of The Week after the news that Marvel and Sony are making Spidey films together broke (spoiler alert: I usually make these up Tuesday nights, sorry to ruin the illusion). I love Spider-Man. Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man is usually the thing I cite most […]

Small Press Spotlight: Zoo Hunters

By Drew Bradley | Feb 18, 2015 | Columns

“ZooHunters” is a book that deserves more attention, which is why it takes center stage in the second half of Aspen’s Small Press Spotlight.

Small Press Publisher Spotlight: Aspen

By Drew Bradley | Feb 18, 2015 | Columns

Aspen is a small but stable publisher who has been around for over a decade. The company delivers a consistent quality in its books and has developed a committed following, but serves a niche in the market that has somewhat limited its growth potential. Because of its longevity and regularity, it has become a part […]

Small Press Month: Cons & Expos

By Drew Bradley | Feb 17, 2015 | Columns

A month long look at small comic publishers wouldn’t be complete without considering the personal interactions between creators and readers at annual conventions.

IDW: The Small Press Days

By Drew Bradley | Feb 16, 2015 | Columns

Not every small publisher in the comic business wants to become a massive force. Some, like Terry Moore’s Abstract Studio, are quite happy at their current size. Those who do want to grow don’t have many successful models to follow. Some, like BOOM! and Dynamite have made good progress, but in the last several decades […]

In previous weeks, articles focusing on Underground Comix and Alternative Comics have covered the late fifties […]
