By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 27, 2014 | Columns

Hello, and welcome to this month’s Soliciting Multiversity for Image Comics! Of course, those of you that have jumped the gun and looked at the solicits without our helpful guidance will already know that, hey, a ton of books debut in November! Enough to fill this column and have some left over, in fact! So […]

Artist August: James Harren [Art Feature]

By David Harper | Aug 26, 2014 | Columns

I’ve written about James Harren quite a bit for Multiversity in the past, and there’s a simple reason why: very few artists make me excited with their work like Harren does. Primarily in the Mignolaverse, Harren has blown me away every time his work appears with the raw power and energy he can bring to […]

Soliciting Multiversity: DC’s Top 10 in November 2014

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 26, 2014 | Columns

After last month’s deluge of new titles, DC continues to tweak their line, adding some new creative teams, one new book, and generally doing their best to sure up their comics. The results may not be as sexy as last month, but there is still plenty of good stuff to be gleaned from November’s solicits. […]

The Five Artists (Plus One) We’d Most Like to See in Charge of Superhero Redesigns

By David Harper | Aug 26, 2014 | Columns

In the wake of the Manara/Spider-Woman controversy, there has been a good amount of conversation about one aspect that may have contributed to the generally “sexy” (well, ish) nature of the cover: Spider-Woman’s costume. After nearly 40 years of existence, Jessica Drew is due for a redesign in many minds, but so are many other […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (8/27/2014)

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 26, 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 […]

Artist August: Francis Manapul [Art Feature]

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 25, 2014 | Columns

Francis Manapul first came to my attention as the artist on “Adventure Comics,” doing some of the best Superboy work of all time, especially the parts that dealt with Krypto (I am a well documented dog person). Over the years, both going back to his past work, but especially his work on “The Flash” that […]

Soliciting Multiversity: Dark Horse’s Top 10 in November 2014

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 25, 2014 | Columns

Dark Horse Comics’ outlook for November 2014 looks like business as usual, to me. Lots of great comics coming out from the publisher – even more than I had room to name here. Standards like “Mind MGMT” and “The Massive” should remain on your pulls, but I’ve highlighted a number of things below that need […]

Artist Alley: Big Ideas and Small Moments Take Root in “Trees” with Jason Howard [Interview]

By David Harper | Aug 25, 2014 | Columns, Interviews

It’s safe to say that Warren Ellis and Jason Howard’s “TREES” is a comic completely unlike any others on the stand. It’s a slow burn, but the deliberate, almost clinical pace they’re taking to building the world and its denizens is intoxicating in the same way that something like Steven Soderbergh’s “Contagion” was. It doesn’t […]

Artist August: Eric Powell [Art Feature]

By Mike Romeo | Aug 24, 2014 | Columns

Eric Powell is almost impossible to pin down. He’s an artist who seems to have mastered a wide array of disciplines, which gives him the mobility to tell a wide variety of stories. Whether a page calls for textured pencil drawings, inks, or even full on oils, Powell can do any of it expertly. He’s talented enough to […]

Artist August: Brian Hurtt [Art Feature]

By Mark Tweedale | Aug 23, 2014 | Columns

I haven’t been a fan of Brian Hurtt’s for very long. I first heard of his work thanks to a Trade Waiter article here on this site (Thanks for the recommendation, Drew), mentally made a note to check it out some time, and then along came the first volume of “The Sixth Gun” in an […]

Saturday Morning Panels (Week of 8/20/14)

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 23, 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: Ming Doyle [Art Feature]

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 22, 2014 | Columns

I have never, since I first saw it, been able to really describe Ming Doyle’s artwork and just why I love it. In comics, it truly is one of a kind. Her style is immediately recognisable through her strong featured characters and heavily lined, brushed inks which brings a rough yet graceful texture to her […]

The Hour Cosmic Presents: Our Favorite Comic Book Pets

By Brian Salvatore, Chad Bowers and Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 21, 2014 | Columns

In case you missed the most recent episode of the Hour Cosmic, your favorite comics gameshow podcast (Episode 80: Pug Con with Mike Norton), we spent a good amount of time discussing pets, both in comics and in real life. That got us thinking: what are our favorite pets in all of comics? Matt and […]

Artist August: James Jean [Art Feature]

By David Harper | Aug 21, 2014 | Columns

While not explicitly a comic artist, or even an interior artist in any way, James Jean is an artist I became familiar with because of his comic work. Specifically, his work on the covers of “Fables”, the Vertigo series from Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham. Jean’s art graced the covers of over 70 issues in […]

Art Of The Week: Week Of 08/20/2014

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 20, 2014 | Columns

Are you reading “Shutter”? You should be reading “Shutter”. Joe Keatinge and Leila del Duca are creating one of the most wildly inventive and imaginative comic books I’ve ever read that combines a sense of fantasy and a little sci-fi with family drama like Terry Gilliam meets Wes Anderson. I love it and above is […]

Artist Alley: Sean Phillips and the Dark Side of Hollywood in “The Fade Out” [Interview]

By David Harper | Aug 20, 2014 | Columns, Interviews

Today brings the arrival of the latest entry into Sean Phillips and Ed Brubaker’s growing library of stunning collaborations, as “The Fade Out” debuts at Image Comics. This title, which is a murder mystery (in a way) set in the glittery facade and shady corners of 1940’s Hollywood, is an absolute thrill, and maybe their […]

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 […]
