From the cozy confines of the haunted HQ, “B.P.R.D.” moves across the sea to Japan, and brings newcomer Joe Querio with it! Written by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi Illustrated by Joe Querio Johann travels to Japan to fight giant monsters, but what he discovers is even more disturbing. A man with no brain has […]

Artist August: R. Crumb [NSFW Art Feature]

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 20, 2014 | Columns

R. Crumb is one of the pioneers of the underground “comix” movement, and undoubtedly one of the breakout stars of that scene (along with Harvey Pekar, Crumb has a feature film documenting his life). He is one of the most skilled portrait artists of his generation, having drawn many prominent musicians (typically blues and jazz […]

Marvel Studios’ Next Step: Inhumans and Female Representation in Marvel Films

By Jess Camacho | Aug 19, 2014 | Columns

Last week, it was widely reported that Marvel would be moving forward with an Inhumans movie, though nothing concrete was ever given. Some news outlets went so far as to report that Marvel already had the first draft of a script in had. Clearly, given the success of Guardians of the Galaxy there is no […]

By Mike Romeo | Aug 19, 2014 | Columns

Meredith Gran is a cartoonist who’s been producing the webcomic Octopus Pie since 2007. Set in New York, Octopus Pie began as an Odd Couple-type story, but has grown into a slice of life story focused on a group of friends. It’s through these characters that Gran shows readers how versatile of a storyteller she is. Teetering […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (8/20/2014)

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 19, 2014 | 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 […]

The Hero’s Journey, Monomyths and Batman Ascends – Looking at ‘Zero Year’

By Matthew Garcia | Aug 18, 2014 | Columns

A quick note before we begin: I think in order to understand what ‘Zero Year’ was trying to accomplish, it’s necessary to talk about everything in it — the plot points, the twists, and the ending. There’s a school of thought saying that the only way a piece of work is finished is when people […]

Artist August: Becky Cloonan [Art Feature]

By Mark Tweedale | Aug 18, 2014 | Columns

I first discovered Becky Cloonan’s work browsing DeviantArt, specifically looking at her work on her self-published comic Wolves. Her work roped me in immediately. It was dark, romantic, ancient, with a mix of fairy tale and myth. That’s what I got just from a glance on DeviantArt. Becky’s work evokes stories immediately. There’s so many […]

Artist August: Chris Samnee [Art Feature]

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 17, 2014 | Columns

You should know who Chris Samnee is. It’s almost becoming harder and hard to talk about artists I love thanks to the internet giving a wider platform to any artist who can use it, but Chris Samnee is an artist I’ve wanted to talk about for a while. I’m pretty sure I first discovered Samnee […]

Artist August: Faith Erin Hicks [Art Feature]

By David Harper | Aug 16, 2014 | Columns

Oddly enough, the first thing that made me aware of graphic novelist Faith Erin Hicks was a Wolverine comic. It’s not because she’s a frequent contributor to superhero comics, but somehow several years ago I had come across a link to this Wolverine short Marvel solicited her to create, which depicted the ol’ Canucklehead going […]

Saturday Morning Panels (Week of 8/13/14)

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 16, 2014 | Columns

Hello, and welcome to Saturday Morning Panels! It’s a very simple concept: since none of us are up to watching Saturday morning cartoons anymore, we are instead going to share with you our favorite panels from the week before. It’s a bit like Comics Should Be Cheap, except with more pictures and less reading. And, […]

Artist August: KevIn Wada [Art Feature]

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 15, 2014 | Columns

Kevin Wada is an artist who has had an almost meteoric rise in the past year or so, a fact that could not make me happier. I don’t particularly remember how I first encountered Wada’s art, probably through Tumblr if I’m honest, but I know that ever since I first found his art I knew […]

The Hour Cosmic Presents: The Plastic Man Soundtrack

By Brian Salvatore, Chad Bowers and Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 14, 2014 | Columns

In case you missed our most recent episode (Episode 79: Tiny Elvis with Andy Suriano), we had a blast talking about all things Plastic Man, in honor of Andy working on the Cartoon Network Plastic Man shorts. Chad had us pitch him a soundtrack to a Plastic Man live-action film. Tracks 1, 4, and 7 […]

Artist August: Mike Mignola [Art Feature]

By Mike Romeo | Aug 14, 2014 | Columns

Mike Mignola is one of the most iconic artists working in comics today. So much of what he’s done has rippled through the industry, influencing the way countless artists approach their craft. Not only in terms of his idiosyncratic approach to cartooning, but also in how his comics are released. He became synonymous with the series of […]

Art Of The Week: Week Of 08/13/2014

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 13, 2014 | Columns

Welcome back, one and all, to Multiversity’s Art Of The Week! This week, there’s nothing relevant for me to ramble about so I wanted to introduce this cover recreation of “Captain America” #153 by Steve Epting because if this isn’t what Captain America 3 is about, I will be sad. Just a big ol’ Cap […]

Artist August: Tonci Zonjic [Art Feature]

By Mark Tweedale | Aug 13, 2014 | Columns

I was introduced to Tonci Zonjic’s work through the comic Who Is Jake Ellis? and I immediately became a fan. But I’ve only been a fan for three years. In many ways I feel like I’m still discovering him. In Who Is Jake Ellis? I fell in love with his approach to colour, the way […]

Artist August: George Pérez [Art Feature]

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 12, 2014 | Columns

George Pérez, I’ve always felt, is the John Romita Jr. of DC, even though he did plenty of work at Marvel. What I mean by that is this: his style, for a time, fit the DC aesthetic to an absolute tee. For the five or six years directly surrounding “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” Pérez was […]
