Saturday Morning Panels (Week of 8/6/14)

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 9, 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, […]

The DC3 Presents: “New 52: Futures End,” Week 14: The State of the Series

By Brian Salvatore, Vince Ostrowski and Zach Wilkerson | Aug 8, 2014 | Columns

The DC3 decided to take on the Herculean task of covering DC’s weekly books! Our coverage will rotate between creator interviews, issue reviews and annotations, and long-form pieces on featured characters. This, friends, is the DC3kly! Much like we did last week, today we take a look at the series as a whole, and share […]

Artist August: Vera Brosgol [Art Feature]

By Mark Tweedale | Aug 8, 2014 | Columns

Vera Brosgol is a storyboard and concept artist for the stop motion animation studio LAIKA. In terms of comics work, she occasionally does hourly comics on her Twitter account, and she’s done guest comics for Scary Go Round, and… Oh, that’s right! She also did an Eisner-winning comic called Anya’s Ghost. I hope she’ll do […]

The Hour Cosmic Presents: Our Favorite Supervillain Lairs

By Brian Salvatore and Greg Matiasevich | Aug 7, 2014 | Columns

In case you missed our most recent episode (Episode 78: The Hulk Follows the Money with Dennis Hopeless), we talked a bit about supervillain lairs and, specifically, how we would design our own. Well, Greg and Brian take a look today at two of their favorite evil lairs, and while you check that out, why […]

The DC3 Presents: “New 52: Futures End,” Week 14: The Five Most Burning Questions Thus Far

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 7, 2014 | Columns

The DC3 decided to take on the Herculean task of covering DC’s weekly books! Our coverage will rotate between creator interviews, issue reviews and annotations, and long-form pieces on featured characters. This, friends, is the DC3kly! Tomorrow, we will have a “state of the union” style chat about the series up to this point, but […]

Artist August: Emma Rios [Art Feature]

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 7, 2014 | Columns

It’s funny how the moments in which you discover something that will become important to you are often complete accidents or coincidences. I first saw artwork in the interiors of “Amazing Spider-Man” #677, the first issue of a crossover between “Amazing Spider-Man” and “Daredevil” written by Mark Waid. I only bought the issue because I […]

Art Of The Week: Week Of 08/06/2014

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 6, 2014 | Columns

So, guess what: Guardians Of The Galaxy was pretty darn good. Not just as a fun film that takes the vein of space opera adventure and places it firmly in the Marvel Universe, but also an in-universe parody/deconstruction of The Avengers. Because of that, I wanted to showcase this piece by Andrew MacLean of the […]

MC2: Avengers Now! and the Wild World of Comic Book Branding

By David Harper and Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 6, 2014 | Columns

David: It’s been a bit since we chatted Matt, but I have some news for you. You might want to sit down for this. So The Falcon is now Captain America. Thor is now a woman. Iron Man is now silver, a west coaster and wears a suit named after something I think that originates […]

Artist August: Michael Cho [Art Feature]

By David Harper | Aug 6, 2014 | Columns

Sometimes you discover artists in the most random places. For example, my wife used to regularly use the app for FFFFOUND! to look at art and occasionally nerdy things, and while she was doing that, she came across some comic like art. It was a Batman and Robin piece. “Oh! That’s Darwyn Cooke, I think. […]

Each and every Wednesday we will be examining the latest Prog from Tharg and the droids over at 2000 AD, and giving you all the pertinent information you’ll need headed into this week’s Thrill-Zine! We’ve got a new Prog this week, so let’s get right to […]

This Month in Comics: July 2014

By Michelle White | Aug 5, 2014 | Columns

How do you sum up July in comics? There was only the biggest comic convention in the world, is all, and while it wasn’t the best year for announcements, there’s still plenty to discuss. We also lost an Eisner – which puts us in fine company, I gotta say. One surprise was the announcement of […]

Artist August: Michael Allred [Art Feature]

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 5, 2014 | Columns

When I think about what comics looks like, I think of Michael Allred’s art. His work is both fantastical and deeply rooted in the “pop culture” of the real world, allowing his work to exist in this wonderfully odd space. His is a creator that manages to have firm footing in both the creator-owned world […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (8/6/2014)

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 5, 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: Guillaume Singelin [Art Feature]

By Mike Romeo | Aug 4, 2014 | Columns

Guillaume Singelin is an artist who’s come to my attention relatively recently. The very first bit of his work to catch my eye were his designs for Jun, a young girl with an eye patch and a giant gun (you’ll see a bit of her below.) Examining Singelin’s art, you’ll see that there is an […]

Multiversity’s Got You Covered: The Best Covers of July 2014

By David Harper | Aug 4, 2014 | Columns

Got You Covered is back with another look at the best covers of the month. At the end of each month, we’ll be sharing the absolute best (in one writer’s mind) in comic covers for the month. Unlike before, they won’t be ranked, they’ll just be listed alphabetically with explanations as to why each is […]

Artist August: Tracy Butler [Art Feature]

By Mark Tweedale | Aug 3, 2014 | Columns

I have a thing for anthropomorphic cats, especially in 1920’s clothes, drinking, shooting tommy guns, and (most importantly) looking at each other exasperatedly. So Tracy Butler’s webcomic Lackadaisy is right up my alley. I love her fascination with words, her black humour, but most of all I love her expressions (in both facial and body […]

Artist August: Frank Quitely [Art Feature]

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 2, 2014 | Columns

Once upon a time I didn’t like Superman. I didn’t have anything against the guy, I didn’t go off on how boring or overpowered he is or anything like that, I just hadn’t found a reason to care. And then I saw the cover to “All-Star Superman” #1. I saw a figure of enormous, inhuman […]

The DC3 Presents: “Batman Eternal,” Week 18 Bonus: A Chat with Ray Fawkes

By Brian Salvatore, Vince Ostrowski and Zach Wilkerson | Aug 1, 2014 | Columns

The DC3 decided to take on the Herculean task of covering DC’s weekly books! Our coverage will rotate between creator interviews, issue reviews and annotations, and long-form pieces on featured characters. This, friends, is the DC3kly! We had planned on running this interview a few weeks ago, but various things delayed that, so we are […]

Artist August: Massimo Carnevale [Art Feature]

By David Harper | Aug 1, 2014 | Columns

To know Massimo Carnevale is to love Massimo Carnevale. If I made a shortlist of most flat out gifted artists that work in comics, Carnevale would be right near the top of the list, and his painted work has notably graced the covers of renowned series like “Y the Last Man” and “Northlanders”, helping make […]

Welcome to Artist August 2014 [Art Month]

By David Harper | Aug 1, 2014 | Columns

Today brings the ending of one of our favorite initiatives ever in the art benefit month Guardians Month, which has been a full month of spectacular artists sharing pieces they crafted to be auctioned off to support Bill Mantlo. It’s only been successful because of the generosity of many, many kind artists out there, and […]

The Hour Cosmic Presents: Our Favorite Knock-Off Characters

By Brian Salvatore, Chad Bowers and Vince Ostrowski | Jul 31, 2014 | Columns

In case you missed our latest episode of The Hour Cosmic (Episode 77: Mr. Falcon and the Stranger in the Woods with Ryan Browne), we talked a lot about various TMNT rip-offs, specifically Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters. That got us thinking – what are some of our favorite characters that started/existed as knock-offs of […]
