Art Of The Week: Week Of 02/11/2015

By Alice W. Castle | Feb 11, 2015 | Columns

You know what I love? Film noir. It’s a genre that was incredibly popular during the 40s and 50s and saw a bit of a drop off after that, but has seen a bit of a resurgence as modern filmmakers who grew up with and loved those films when they were younger make films in […]

By Drew Bradley | Feb 11, 2015 | Columns

The Small Press Spotlight on Abstract Studios continues with a focused look on Terry Moore’s current series, “Rachel Rising.” This is a book that impressed Multiversity staff when it began, and one that continues to have a special place on our pull lists.

Small Press Month: Different Viewpoints [Discussion]

By Drew Bradley, Cassandra Clarke and Vince Ostrowski | Feb 10, 2015 | Columns

Today’s installments of Small Press Month will focus on the different ways people look at indie publishers. Last week, I wrote about how I was defining the small press for this series. I like to think the labels I applied to various groups were well reasoned, but the truth is they’re still somewhat vague, arbitrary, […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (2/11/2015)

By Multiversity Staff | Feb 10, 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 […]

Dark Horse Comics: The Small Press Days

By Drew Bradley | Feb 9, 2015 | Columns

There aren’t many people who would label Dark Horse as a small publisher today, but it was once upon a time. Unlike Image, which debuted with instantly top selling books, it took a few years for Dark Horse to rise through the ranks and become one of the five biggest publishers in the comic industry. […]

Small Press Month: A Brief History of Alternative Comics

By Drew Bradley | Feb 9, 2015 | Columns

Last week, we ran an article providing an abbreviated history of underground comix. It covered the decade or so when the undergrounds were at their peak popularity, and explained how they were largely a reaction to the Comics Code and the narrowing effect superheroes had on comics publishing. The books were created mostly by men in their early twenties […]

Art Of The Week: Week Of 02/04/2015

By Alice W. Castle | Feb 4, 2015 | Columns

So, it’s not a new thing to say that comics generally has a diversity problem, right? The fact that the majority of today’s most popular comic book characters were created prior to 1970 has meant that most of them are white guys, a fact that’s coming back to haunt the comic industry today. That’s why […]
